Great Gift For The Whole Year

Magazine subscriptions are a little luxury that makes a gift last all year. Every month when a copy arrives, there is a little glow knowing you can curl up and read about your favorite topic. And that is the other wonderful aspect of this, there is something for everyone. The other wonderful aspect is that most can be found for less then $15 for the first year and many for as low as $5. Plan ahead for the holidays or surprise a friend on their birthday.

For Travelers – Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel Magazine, National Geographic Traveler Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, and there are many very specific ones such as Hawaii, Blue Ridge Country, and Alaska.

For Cooks – Bon Apetit, Food and Wine, Everyday With Rachel Ray, Eating Well, and for the specialist Vegetarian Times, Southern Living, and Weight Watchers (be really sure before you gift this one).

For Sports – Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and for active participants Golf Digest, Tennis, Bicycling, and Backpaker.

For Auto Enthusiasts – Car and Driver,  Motor Trend, and Road and Track plus American Road, Auto Week, and Cycle World.

For Computer Geeks – Wired, Mac Life, and PC Magazine plus PC Gamer, Fast Company, and Video Maker.

If someone is turning over a new leaf support them with Yoga Journal, Organic Spa, Women’s or Men’s Health, Self, Fitness, Cooking Light, and  Prevention.

Puzzle lovers will enjoy Dell Crossword Special, Dell Fun Puzzles & Games For Kids Magazine, and Dell Official Word Search.

There are also the favorites of many households – O, House Beautiful, Country Living, Sunset, Martha Stewart Living, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker.  If someone already has a subscription it will be added on as an extra year for most magazines.

If you go to the magazine site or use one of the subscriptions they will let you send a check, many times giving a credit card results in them dinging you every year.
