There are many quality children's magazines, as well as magazines their parents may be interested in on topics like parenting, home décor, cooking and more. Some can be found in stores and on newsstands, while others may be easier to find when it is mailed directly to their door.

Subscriptions allow you to save money on your chosen magazine. By paying for an entire year in advance, the publishers give you a break on the cover price you would pay if you picked your favorite magazine up in the local shop. Some can save you up to 50% off the cover price.

For this great deal, you get your magazines delivered right to your door. If you decide that you are no longer interested in the magazine, you can cancel your subscription when it runs out, or if you still like the publication, you can easily renew.

Subscribing is easy. Just fill in the form that is included with any copy you buy. If you subscribe online, there will be a form to fill out online. Popular children's magazines include Kids Discover, Disney Magazine, Action Comics and Nickelodeon. Teens often are interested in magazines like Seventeen, Shonen Jump, American Cheerleader or a magazine that caters to a particular interest like Sports Illustrated or Horse & Rider.

College students may be interested in news magazines like Time or Newsweek, or maybe they may prefer magazines focused on their college major. Try and choose gift subscriptions that are something the recipient will really like. Ask their friends or family members if you are not sure of their interests. Alternatively, you can ask the person you want to give the subscription to what kind of things they like to read. This is much better than snooping around, trying to figure out what they like. They may consider this an invasion of privacy.

Magazines are always in style. Unlike clothing, you can't get the wrong size. Every month your gift is given again, with new, interesting things to read. Magazine publishers and editors work hard to keep their magazines up to date and new. Sometimes back issues are also available in case you miss a topic you really wanted to learn about.

Many people enjoy magazine subscriptions as gifts, as they always have something to look forward to. If you plan on giving more subscriptions, just find out what their interests and hobbies are so you have an idea of what to choose.

For example, many people love cars. Maybe they love the look of new sportscars, or maybe they prefer the old, classic hot rods. Either way, your problem is easy. Simply choose the one you think they will enjoy most out of all the different car magazines available.

A magazine subscription is a good gift because you get to help someone learn about something they are interested in. It may be related to their career, or to their hobby. Either way, you are getting good value for your money and they are getting good information about something they enjoy. It is the perfect gift.
