3. For The Awkward Younger Brother: Netflix or Spotify Subscription
Netflix subscription – from $10.98 per month | Spotify subscription – from $9.90 per month
Ahh younger siblings. Sometimes you love them, and sometimes…they annoy the heck out of you. One thing’s for sure though – you’re stuck with them for life, so you may as well play nice.
This Christmas, give them the gift of entertainment, with a Netflix or Spotify subscription that will surely be appreciated. I mean, if your younger brother is going to hole up in his room all day, he might as well be watching or listening to something good. With a plethora of options available on these on-demand services, you’ll definitely score some brownie points (which may come in handy when you need future favours).
