A Digital Christmas Gift is a product like an ebook, a video, or a software program. You typically buy it from an online Web site, and it is immediately available after your purchase for downloading to your computer. Don’t let the name fool you. While the term “digital gift” doesn’t exactly inspire visions of Christmas day delight, a digital gift could just be the most imaginative present you give this year.

You may feel that it just doesn’t seem real enough! Or you may never ever thought of giving this kind of gift, because it’s not something that you can physically hold in your hands. It is not tangible enough. Yet, that’s exactly what makes it so unique. It’s a gift that embodies the essence of our modern Internet age — a lifestyle boldly seasoned with electronic belongings.

The range of ideas for a digital Christmas gift goes on and on:

- For that budding chef you might consider a recipe book of healthy Chinese food.

- Golf enthusiasts might enjoy an ebook and video instructional set about how to improve their golf swing.

- Perhaps the techie on your list could use a year’s worth of quality Web site hosting.

- The exercise buff would undoubtedly appreciate in-depth information about how to develop chiseled abdominal muscles.

Of course after you purchase a digital gift, the question becomes, How do you wrap the thing? After all, the first “thing” you receive after you purchase a digital gift is an email describing how to download or access your purchase. And then the “things” you download are usually a set of computer files. What kind of wrapping paper could you possibly use for that?

This is where giving a digital gift can get really fun.

One idea is to include the download instructions in a Christmas eCard. Arrange for the eCard to be delivered on Christmas day. Imagine the puzzled look on your loved one’s face as he or she tries to figure out what the eCard instructions are all about. Perhaps you could burn the computer files to a CD. Then, wrap the CD in a big box, one about the size that would be needed if the digital gift were actual physical books and/or videos.

One of my personal favorite method is to purchase a USB flash drive (or thumb drive) and copy all of the computer files onto it. To do this, carefully cut a small slit in the thumb drive packaging. Then, without damaging the packaging, remove the drive and copy your files. When that’s done, carefully slip the drive back into the packaging and wrap it up.

Just imagine the fun you’ll have watching the gift recipient try to drum up enthusiasm for the gift of a thumb drive. Think about how you’ll enjoy dropping hints as you lead the gift recipient to the realization that the actual present is what’s contained on the drive.

So give a gift that’s sure to be unlike anything the special people on your list have ever received before. It’s an out-of-the-ordinary present that will spice up your gift giving. What could be more unique?
