iBusiness, 24.12.2020:
In case you haven’t noticed yet, given all the work in our boom industry: Today is the day with this so-called (staged by influencers) “Christmas tree”, the “gifts” photographed for Snapchat and Instagram and the far too often tweeted ” shining children’s eyes “. So that the latter (regardless of age) shine on the current phase of life companion, it is now hectic (after all, it also means: “shrill night, night in a hurry”). What you can now quickly buy on this so-called “Internet” – and put directly under the above “Christmas tree”, here is our last-minute top list every year – guaranteed Corona-compatible.
From the series: “This Christmas is all different”:
1. Coupons
Vouchers for online shops are among the most popular gifts. Almost every eighth German citizen (twelve percent) plans a corresponding gift every year, according to a survey by Bitkom
revealed. Most online shops offer vouchers. Vouchers for electronic media, such as MP3s or computer games, can even be redeemed under the Christmas tree with a direct download.
2. Credit
Many streaming services on the Internet offer a service to pre-book credit for third parties. This means that access to millions of music tracks can be given away for a certain period of time or access to online video libraries. Many online services also have vouchers on offer. This includes, for example, credit for online game networks or photo services.
3. Online concerts and concert streaming
Thanks to Corona, the previous year’s Nobrainer “ticket vouchers for events” are currently only useful to a limited extent as a short-term gift. But first: there will also be life after Corona – after all, vouchers for concert tickets can also be given away with a lot of hope and optimism. And secondly: In addition, numerous artists are now holding online concerts for which vouchers can also be purchased (and given away).
4. Travel
Together with a lot of optimism (alternatively: long-suffering), online vouchers for travel services such as flights or complete vacations can now also be given away. Because redeeming it will certainly take a few more months, you should perhaps add a second voucher for bathing together in the bathtub (romantic alarm!) Or a travel voucher to balconies, the hallways or the bredouille along with the planned beach holiday voucher. Helps to bridge the time and makes for a laugh.
5. Romantic dinner
The regional gastro (attention: karma points!) Offers take-away food. It doesn’t have to be pizza, but can also be a voucher for a romantic dinner for two on the Christmas holidays. Lobster, soup and the super fine wine come via voucher from the gastro. You only have to take care of the white tablecloth, plates, cutlery, wine glasses and candles.
6. Events
Events are now known from film, radio and television – look for ‘experience vouchers’ online. Whether skydiving or wine tasting – almost everything can be bought, paid for and downloaded immediately online. Only the date has to be pushed a little into the future. But 2022 is still another year if necessary.
7. Time
The following advice is of course out of competition: Give your current companion the rarest resource you have available: time. A day, a weekend, an evening, a week, a romantic hour. A handwritten (!) Letter about the contents “I know that you love dancing. That’s why this voucher for a salsa dance course for two at a date of your choice when Corona is over.” If you are lucky, you can also attend ‘Star Wars XXXIII’ instead of the dance class. If you want to apply thicker layers, you can give away a whole bundle of vouchers, which then includes the long-awaited massage, the shopping trip through at least four online shoe stores, painting the ceiling and the romantic four-course dinner that you cook yourself. This is then also suitable for Tiktok, Facebook and Instagram (dinner, not the ceiling. Although: those too).
