Netflix has been a popular streaming and DVD-by-mail service for quite a while now. This year, you can share Netflix with someone else.

Netflix streaming subscriptions cost between $7.99 and $11.99 per month, depending on your choice of subscriptions. Instead of having your friend or relative pay that monthly rate, you can help by buying them a Netflix gift card.

It works kind of like buying a subscription magazine for a friend. However, instead of paying the bill for them, you will buy them a Netflix gift card and they will use it to pay for the subscription.

Purchasing $100-worth of Netflix cards will get most recipients about a full year of Netflix service.

Staples is starting to offer them, but Netflix's website can help you find other places to buy them. When searching zip code 10007 (New York, New York), Staples, Gamestop and Best Buy are those that are offering the gift cards.

Also on this website, a sidebar ad for the grocery brand Kroger is advertising that they offer the cards.

Instead of giving cash, gift givers can give their friends and family the gift of entertainment. What a great idea.

Netflix offers thousands and thousands of programming, movies and more and has become a household name.

Netflix was founded back in 1997. The company tried to combine forces with Blockbuster in 2000.

Then in 2002, the company went public with an initial public offering (IPO), selling shares of stock at $15 per share.

Now, the company's stock price is at $342.10 per share and it has over 33 million subscribers in the U.S. and over 50 million globally.
