An obvious choice for one would be a new game, but if you’re not sure which one they want or what genre they enjoy playing, there’s no way to know whether or not they’ll like what you choose for them. And while it’s true that you could simply ask them, you won’t be able to keep your gift a secret if you do this.

No matter how it arrives, they’ll surely be happy to receive it.
Make sure to let the recipient know that they can use the funds from the card on a variety of Xbox products.
