We all have that friend who’s chronically online. They’re often found emerging from behind their screen with bleary eyes, ranting and raving about the newest viral hippo, the basketball game they’ve been posting about, or the latest meme that’s incomprehensible to anyone without a social media account. Shopping for these connoisseurs of internet lore can be tricky, but never fear: We’ve put together a quiz that will give you the perfect gift for the extremely online person in your life. Most important, however, is the gift of a fast and reliable connection — so give them an extra present by making sure they’re equipped with Xfinity Mobile, which will help them stay connected no matter where they are.

You’re shopping for the FYP MVP, who’s all about the social media apps. Whether it’s swiping on short-form videos while waiting for the train or curating their next post while in line at the grocery store, this person is always wired in, always connected, and probably an expert at whatever trend is gripping social media this week. (Maybe it’s a new viral dance or an extra-juicy morsel of celebrity gossip.) They likely also have ambitions of being a social media star themselves, so we recommend gifting them this Verge-approved travel tripod to help them achieve those dreams. Also, give them the gift of a fast and reliable connection on the go with Xfinity Mobile — important for anyone who has to stay in the loop no matter where they are.

You’re shopping for the Monday Morning Quarterback, who uses the internet primarily to stream sports highlights. Whether they’re catching up on their favorite baseball team’s progress through the playoffs, watching the best goals from the prior day’s soccer match, or analyzing the progress of their fantasy team (on Mondays, they’re probably giving you an unsolicited update on their best players), they live and breathe sports — so much so that they use their phone to keep up to date even while on the go. For the Monday Morning Quarterback, try gifting them something that can be customized to their favorite team, like a YETI cooler or tumbler. (YETI offers options for most baseball, football, and hockey teams, as well as other sports.) And give them the gift of Xfinity Mobile, which delivers a fast and reliable connection on the go — important for anyone who has to keep on top of the score no matter where they are.

You’re looking for a gift for the Window Shopper, who uses their phone as a virtual mall. Spending most of their time on apps used to shop and browse trends, this person is always stylish, put together, and constantly in the know about the latest celebrity makeup brand, the trendiest shoe of the season, or where to find the best dupes. So: What do you get for someone who constantly has their finger on the pulse and probably has very exact ideas about what they want? A gift card to get whatever they think is best. And while you’re at it, help them get set up with Xfinity Mobile, which offers a fast and reliable connection for anyone who needs to stay connected while on the go.
