One of the most memorable gifts of my childhood was when a friend's parent signed me up for a subscription to a braille magazine for preteen girls. Every month, through the mail, that gift brought pleasure again and again. If your gift recipient is a patron of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), you might consider signing them up for one of the dozens of braille and audio magazines available free of charge through that service. The collection features magazines to appeal to every age and reading taste, including such popular favorites as People, The New Yorker, Good Housekeeping or Humpty-Dumpty (audio) or PC World, Parenting, Playboy or Spider (braille), and many others for both kids and adults. If your friend or loved one is a new braille reader and interested in news and current events, a fabulous weekly braille publication is Syndicated Columnists Weekly available from National Braille Press for $24 for one year or $45 for two years.

For $119 annually or $12.99 per month, an Amazon Prime membership delivers a host of benefits including free two-day shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States, over two million musical tracks, and Amazon Prime video. For entertainment value, the Prime Video component alone may make this subscription worthwhile for a blind or low vision person. A streaming video service (some shows can also be downloaded), Amazon Prime is a treasure trove of TV shows and movies, many of which feature audio description, which can be viewed on your smart phone or tablet as well as your computer or TV. If you heard about that Emmy-winning series, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," for example, it's all right there on Amazon, free to Prime members, and includes great audio description. Other popular series are "Bosch," (based on the Michael Connelly thrillers), "Man in the High Castle," and "Downton Abbey."
Most of us have known the dismay of not having enough time to spend with people we love. To fill that void, try giving a gift of experience. Buy tickets to a movie, play, concert, sports event, or special festival, and email or deliver them to the gift recipient with a note to put your the event on their calendar. If one or both of you aren't fond of being in crowds, make a similar date to watch a movie or play a game in one home or the other as a treat. Round it out with a commitment to order from your favorite UberEats venue to enjoy a meal together as well. 2ff7e9595c
