Give the Gift of a Subscription to Skype, Netflix, Other Services

Unique Subscription Tech Gifts
Trying to figure out something unique to give someone for the holidays, but not quite ready to go the arts and crafts route? You could give the gift of subscription services.

For the talkative, a Skype subscription might prove useful. $60 a year will get you a phone number for accepting calls. If you spring for unlimited calling in the U.S. and Canada ($2.95 a month) the price of a SkypeIn number drops to $30, a 50% discount. You could also give the gift of a Web site: $10 a year will score a loved one their own dot-com, and if you're feeling generous, hosting for a Web site often costs less than $100 a year.

Just make sure these gifts are appropriate -- your friend that still uses a rotary phone (un-ironically) may not have much need for a Skype account. [From: Download Squad]
