Disney Plus 1-year gift subscription $109.99 at Disney+

An important note for this as a gift: This code will only work for new subscribers, so it's no good for anyone that already has Disney Plus as this won't stack on top. If they're happy to create a new account though, with a different email address, it should be fine. When purchasing, you have the option of sending the code to yourself or arranging for it to be emailed to a recipient at a date of your choosing.

Ah Netflix, the old favorite. Unlike the Disney Plus subscription above, you don't have to worry about the recipient already being a subscriber as they can add this credit to an existing account if they have one. Netflix costs $7 to $20 a month if that helps you choose the amount you want to gift. Codes can be retrieved to pass to the recipient shortly after purchase.

Note: you'll have to log in to your Amazon account to see this product. Amazon Prime membership isn't just about the free and speedy delivery of Amazon purchases; it comes with a vast library of movies and TV shows to enjoy. This won't automatically renew either, so the giftee isn't on the hook after the original time purchased. If they're already a member, they'll be offered a swap for a regular Amazon gift card of equivalent value.
