If the person you are shopping for has an Xbox One there are a multitude of gift options that are available to you.

Here is Our Countdown of the Top 6 Gifts for Xbox One Owners:
#1 Games
The number four item on our countdown is obvious. Every person who plays video games is always on the lookout for the next great game they want to purchase, but unless they gave you a list to work off of knowing which game to buy might be difficult, which is why we didn’t put this idea at the top of our list.
If you know which game you want to buy you also need to decide if you want to purchase a physical copy or a digital copy of the game. Getting a physical copy means that you are buying the actual video game disc that must be inserted into the Xbox One console in order to play the game. If you purchase a digital copy of the game you will get a code that allows a person to download a digital copy of the game onto their console. Both digital and physical copies of video games allow the player to experience the game in the same way but both physical and digital copies have their own unique pros and cons. Most gamers have a preference for physical or digital copies, but in situations where there isn’t a clear preference, you might be interested in reading our article titled, Physical Video Game Copies vs. Digital Copies – Which is Better?

The Xbox Live Gold Membership is the number 1 item on our countdown because it is probably the one thing that most gamers who own an Xbox would have the hardest time living without.
The Xbox Live Gold Membership is a subscription service the gives members several different benefits. The main benefit is that it allows people to play multiplayer games online with their friends. However, if your friends are not online you can still play online with random people. In other words, you aren’t just limited to playing with your friends. The second thing the Xbox Live Gold Membership gives people each month is access to free games that you can download and play. The third thing members get is exclusive deals and discounts up to 50-75% on games in the Xbox Store.
While the free games and the discounts in the Xbox Store are great let’s be clear that the #1 reason the vast majority of people buy an Xbox Live Gold Membership is for online gaming. It should also be noted that some games can ONLY be played online and are useless with an Xbox Live Gold Membership. In addition, if you want to take advantage of the multiplayer features of some games (specifically playing with friends online) an Xbox Live Gold Membership will be required.
Here is a video showing how easy it is to redeem your Xbox Live Gold Membership:
Xbox Live Gold Memberships are available in different time durations. Not surprisingly memberships with longer durations offer the best value. Click on the links below to see the current prices:
When considering buying an Xbox Live Gold Membership as a gift you might worry that the person you are shopping for already has a membership. Well, if the person you are buying it for has had their Xbox for any significant amount of time they probably do have a membership already, but don’t let that keep you from buying a membership. If you buy an Xbox Live Gold Membership For someone who is already a member they can simply hold on to the membership and add it to their account when the current one expires. The fact of the matter is that most people who have memberships will continue to buy them year after year. So the gift of a membership is sure to be used eventually.
Please note: As of the time when this was written you can’t use an Xbox Gift Card to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership.
