PureWow/MasterClass

Whether they're a jack of all trades, a Gemini with a billion hobbies or a teen thinking about their future, chances are they have a MasterClass subscription on their holiday wish list. And lucky for you, right now you can score them a yearly subscription for less, thanks to the brand's early Black Friday sale. That's right—standard subscriptions are discounted to just $7 per month billed annually (previously $10 per month) for their first year from now through Nov. 27. Not to mention, the plus and premium subscriptions are up to 50 percent off, too. So, really, there's no better time to gift MasterClass, no matter who you're shopping for.

MasterClass

The online platform has been growing increasingly popular as loads of industry professionals in various fields are offering virtual classes anyone can take. The latest and greatest of more than 200 classes offered? Gordon Ramsay on cooking, Simone Biles on gymnastics, Aaron Sorkin on screenwriting and so much more.

PureWow Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera put MasterClass to the test, too, and she says it's totally worth it. In her review she shares, "It was super easy to fit in a little learning between my usual daily tasks, or I could sit down at night and watch a few lessons in a row in the evenings without feeling pressured to finish the whole course. It’s also worth noting that you can switch between courses as often as you wish and rewatch lessons whenever you like, and there’s no time limit to finish them (as long as you have an active subscription)—a huge plus, in my opinion."

But don't just take our word for it. One MasterClass reviewer is hooked: "Eleven classes later, each [session] has inspired me in a different way to be the best version of myself." Talk about the best gift ever.

BTW, MasterClass can be viewed on smartphones, personal computers, Apple TVs, Amazon FireTVs and Roku streaming services, so subscribers can access them in whatever way is most convenient for them. Oh, and if you buy a subscription now, you can schedule it to be delivered to your giftee's email on December 25 (ahem, last-minute shoppers take note), so you won't have to think about anything else on Christmas day. It's a win-win.

From ~~$10~~; $7/Month (billed Annually) at MasterClass
