Ravenous Winter Festival Geeky Shopping Guide. Day 13: Feed Their Addictions


Piggy backing off yesterday's topic I wanted to take a moment to discuss entertainment that requires upkeep. In this day of internet capable phones and instant streaming to our televisions a lot of services have gone online, even books, and in an effort to continue to generate revenue (those greedy jerks) companies have instituted various ways of allowing downloaded content via subscription fees or online currency systems. You're only a gift card or credit card payment away from adding points to their online account, thus allowing them to continue to absorb all the great things that keep them away from you so that you can have some peace and quiet once in a while.

Again, similar to the post about magazines, the gift card or money deposit depends highly on what they like to do. If they are really into purchasing songs and movies for their i products, why not get them a gift card for online purchases through the Apple store? You can also purchase them more time on their online gaming or even get them a subscription to the brand new miracles of the modern age like the Marvel digital comic book plan.

What's best about this present is that it doesn't require a whole lot of thought on your part. Instead of racking your mind trying to think of that perfect gift idea you can just give them more of what they already enjoy. Yes, thanks to the wondrous invention of online transactions (Which you strangely owe a lot of credit towards the porno industry for), you can maintain a healthy relationship with your friends and loved ones with very little thought or effort!
