When birthday party season rolls round it can be hard to think of a bevy of stimulating, age and gender appropriate gifts. Which is why we love the idea of giving magazine subscriptions. After all, what child isn’t excited to receive their very own mail? An annual subscription really is a gift that keeps on giving, plus they can usually be ordered online, saving a potentially fraught trip to the toy store with tots in tow. And most kids’ magazines now have great accompanying websites packed with games and info, just in case you’re looking for some safe surfing destinations.
