If you have a knack for changing a WiFi password, connecting a laptop to a printer or setting up a smart-home system, congratulations: You're probably your loved ones' dedicated IT expert! We're kidding, but that sure is what it feels like when you're the most tech-savvy person in the family.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to outsource the job of family tech support, like they do in office settings? Well, there is. It's called Yahoo Plus Secure, and it's on call 24/7. This top of the line software provides rock solid security against viruses and malware — plus, it supplies real-life representatives (yes, humans!) who provide troubleshooting over the phone at all hours.

Honestly, a more perfect gift for tech-challenged family members does not exist. And Yahoo Plus Secure is 35 percent off right now: it’s just $100 for the whole year.

Yahoo Plus Secure has a service called Assist by Yahoo, which gives loved ones 24/7 tech support over the phone for issues with computers, tablets, printers, network, smart TVs and much more. Representatives will even help set up home entertainment, home office devices and other gadgets.

Yahoo Plus Secure agents are there to help your parents navigate their tech, and they do it with a people-first mindset. This includes assisting with their actual Yahoo email and general account issues, including billing, account recovery and updating an account.

A Yahoo Finance Plus subscription gives anyone of any skill level or risk level the opportunity to see the markets through the eyes of an expert. The service offers exclusive data and insights on how to optimize your trading strategy, complete with intuitive data visualizations from a pro’s POV.

Yahoo Finance Plus has plenty of hands-on tools, too, to help you navigate your financial portfolio. Subscriber perks include multiple linked brokers for portfolio tracking, interactive charts for performance monitoring, research reports from Morningstar and Argus, unlimited custom portfolios and watchlists, daily trade ideas based on your interests, advanced portfolio performance analysis tools and more.

The support that Yahoo Finance Plus offers is off the charts, too. We’re talking monthly educational webinars with Q&A sessions, plus live chat support and 24/7 tech support. It’s usually $350 annually, but reduced to $200 thanks to this holiday offer!

Yahoo Fantasy Plus: One hub for all your fantasy sports teams — just $25 a year

A February 2021 study by YouGov.com estimated that about 15 percent of Americans played fantasy sports over the last year. Odds are, you know and love someone who’s a fanatic for this pastime.

“Fantasy sports have become big business in recent years with many people across the United States playing for money,” YouGov.com writes. SportsProMedia.com says the industry is growing 9.5% in 2021, to a $22.3 billion dollar industry, and estimates fantasy sports will be worth $38.6 billion in the US by 2025.

That’s why this subscription from Yahoo Fantasy Plus is so revolutionary. With this offering, your giftee can control their fantasy leagues for four sports — football, basketball, hockey and baseball — with just one service. And it’s all just $25 per year — this bundle a great deal when you consider that these sports services cost about $25 a year individually.
