Streaming and Digital Services Gifts for Mom

May 13, 2017 By Linda Sherman Leave a Comment

Looking for a gift for your mother? We recommend you add to whatever streaming services she may have access to for her viewing pleasure. You might also consider a subscription to a news publication to support the survival of proper investigative journalism.

A Gift of Amazon Prime Includes Shipping with Her Streaming

For only $99 for the year, you can give your Mother original programming AND free shipping on many things she may wish to order from Amazon.

Currently of appeal on streaming:
Series:
Z – the story of F Scott Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda – produced by and starring Christina Ricci
The Collection
Night Manager
Goliath
Films:
The Dressmaker with Nicole Kidman
Hello My Name is Doris with Sally Field
The Choice
Captain Fantastic
The Age of Adeline
Selma

Give Streaming Netflix and Throw in DVD’s

Many households choose to not include the DVD option with their Netlix but they are missing out on the Big films that way.

Of course if she doesn’t even have Streaming Netflix, that will be a big treat.

Series like:
House of Cards
The Crown
Grace and Frankie
Arrested Development
The Time in Between
Merli
Sensitive Skin
The People vs OJ Simpson
Films like:
St. Vincent
Mansfield Park
If I Were You
Take Me Home

Get Over 140 Magazines with Texture

Devices to Watch and Read Her Streaming and Digital Subscriptions On

Want to go all out? Add a Smart TV (they have become incredibly inexpensive) that includes quick access to streaming services – you just need to add your sign-in. Or set up an iPad for her. We give all the details on setting up an iPad here.
