If you’re buying a gift for someone who owns an Android smartphone, tablet, or both, there’s so much they can get with a Google Play gift card, making it a really thoughtful option.
There are a ton of apps, from ones for everything from music streaming, like Spotify to video calling, like Zoom. Whether they’re into gaming and want to buy in-game upgrades or love to cook and want to pay for a good recipe organizing app, there are tons of great options.
They can use the gift card to subscribe to their favorite streaming TV service, like Disney+ or Netflix, or even shop for books, from the latest mysteries to enthralling autobiographies and tell-alls. Or, they can grab an exciting comic book or download audiobooks to listen to in the car or while relaxing at home.
There’s also access to movie and TV series downloads, fitness programs, educational apps for adults and kids, digital news and magazine subscriptions, and more. If they so desire, they could even use the gift card amount towards a Play Pass subscription and check out the best games in Google Play Pass for a low monthly fee.
