A Gift For Takeaway Fans

DoorDash DashPass Membership [16] ($10 per month or $96 per year)

A DashPass subscription is the kind of gift that keeps on giving, especially if he loves takeout or is always ordering in. With unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, it's a great way for him to indulge in his favorite local spots. Whether it's pizza on game day or late-night wings, this pass is a must have. Read our Doordash DashPass membership review [17].

Editor Quote:"Just the other night, we ordered a full sushi spread that was so good, I'm tempted to get it again tonight as I type this. And even though we ordered a lot of rolls, the price felt totally fair, especially with DashPass nixing the $8.99 delivery fee and cutting my order's $9.81 service fee. I love seeing the app show exactly what I'm saving with the membership." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor

A Gift For the Golfer

A Gift For the TV Watcher

Sling TV Subscription [19] ($61/month)

Cable TV still costs a fortune (for reasons I'll never fully understand).

Whether he's into news, sports, or entertainment, Sling has all the channels he'll actually use. Read our review of Sling TV [20].

Editor Quote: "I love the convenience of on-demand streaming, but there's something surprisingly grounding about having live news on in the background — especially in today's world. It gives me a weird sense of calm. Not because the news itself is calming (it's not), but because it makes me feel like I'm tuned in." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor
