Here’s a New Year’s resolution for you: Shape up your gift-giving game. In 2022, shop smarter (and occasionally even cheaper!) by taking full advantage of our digital world. Mark birthdays, anniversaries and even self-care occasions with virtual gifts. We’re talking about everything from gift cards for personal trainers to Audible audiobook memberships.
Here are 12 gift ideas that don’t require wrapping, and may not take up so much of an inch of shelf space. They should work for any day and for any special moment of the year. And they should work for just about everybody in your life: the sibling who’s looking to get to fit; the friends who are redesigning their living room; the pal who loves his wine.

At last look, some of the deals, like the two-for-one membership offer from MasterClass, were being offered for a limited-time only. So, don’t delay, and don’t waste a second of 2022. Take care of your gift-shopping needs now – virtually!
