And once a book is read, a movie is watched, or the files from a CD are downloaded, the object itself may feel disposable or even burdensome.

One estimate claims that between 20, $41 billion in gift cards were purchased, but never redeemed.Īt the same time, digital media can make buying physical media as a gift seem wasteful or pointless. And it’s impossible to know whether a recipient will ever get around to using that credit on something meaningful. So giving a loved one iTunes credit or a Spotify membership may be giving them the gift of choice, but it also feels like handing them a generic plastic chit in lieu of something heartfelt. Gift cards are the most flexible gift, but they have a rep as the laziest one as well. It’s hard to put MP3s under a Christmas tree.

Gifting electronic files, or memberships that allow access to them, solves that problem.
