We all know that person who essentially lives online: They’ve seen every meme before you have a chance to check the morning weather, get all the new Instagram features first, and are your go-to source for explaining the latest TikTok trends that make no sense to most people. But when it comes to surprising them with gifts, it can be a bit tricky to get them the perfect something special since, again, they know just about everything from being so. Darn. Online.

Fear not: We’ve got you covered with seven of the most creative and practical gifts sure to delight anyone who spends their days composing viral tweets and finding the best online sales. Plus, all these picks basically say, “I see your phone habits and I love that for you.” From an extremely chic multi-device charger to a super savvy all-in-one cybersecurity app, Bustle teamed up with digital security provider Aura to present you with the best gifts to give the very online person in your life this holiday season.

Aura digital security subscription

No one wants to be a victim of online scams or financial fraud, but scammers are getting more sophisticated every day, making it harder to sort the real deals and offers from fakes, even for the hyper-connected. With a subscription to Aura’s digital security app, your “very online” friend can breathe easier knowing their digital life is protected. With an all-in-one, simple and affordable subscription, Aura protects you from identity theft, manages your passwords, helps secure your finances, and notifies you if your personal info or social security has been breached or is being used in nefarious ways (plus much more!). The gift recipient would need to sign up themselves, but you can give them the funds to cover the subscription and help them sign up! Ideal for those in your life who basically do *everything* online these days. Individual subscriptions start at just $7 a month through December 25 as part of their holiday offer.
