It’s hard to go wrong with these gifts. I mean, who doesn’t love music, movies or TV? Perfect for everyone from your teenage cousin to your bestie, with these goodies you’ll make their day.
In partnership with the Toshiba Radius 12 — where every feature is its best — Gizmodo’s Gift Guides will help you pick the best present for your loved one.
Stan Gift Card, from $20
Stan is still relatively new to the movie and TV streaming scene, but already has a catalogue of 300+ TV shows and 1300+ movies — which is growing daily. In addition to “regular” programs, Stan is becoming well known for local, obscure and otherwise difficult to track down content.
Stan is $10 per month, and at the moment if you pick up a gift card worth $60 or more you’ll get $10 for your own account as well. So yeah, it’s a present for someone else but also a present for you. I don’t think there are any rules against that? You can purchase gift cards online from Stan, or at any 7-Eleven store.

The Yamaha MusicCast WX-030 is definitely compact, but it also packs a punch in the sound department. One of the stand out features though is its ease of use — setup is a breeze.
