Holiday Gift Suggestions.

Gift Ideas for the Holidays.

GIFT GIVING MADE EASY

It was the same every year. Barb Smith took one look at her holiday gift-giving list and wondered how she was going to get it all done. Not only did the list seem impossibly long, Ms. Smith marveled at the range of personalities in her family - not to mention all the quirky friends she had managed to accumulate. Then, there was the challenge of staying within her budget.

Last year, right before Thanksgiving, she discovered online magazine ordering. Finally, in a single sitting and at the time that was most convenient for her, Ms. Smith could take care of everyone on her list.

It has become a holiday tradition that Ms. Smith now applies to birthdays and other occasions.

Sites like MyMags.com and Business Magazine Subscriptions, for example, offer a wide range of appropriate gift selections, delivering magazine subscriptions for all interests and ages.

With subscription prices starting at less than $10, magazines offer an unmatchable value. Unlike other gifts, magazines arrive throughout the year, renewing the magic of the gift-giving occasion with the arrival of each issue. Many gift-givers have found it to be the thoughtful way to stay in the hearts of those special to them.

Sites like MyMags.com even accommodate gift giving by including a special gift card, personalized with the gift-giver's message.

Barb Smith has found that it's as easy as point, click and give.

Gifts for Everyone

General interest magazines offer a family-pleasing gift option.

Magazines like Us, Vanity Fair and Christianity Today have a little something for everyone. And, with current events on everyone's mind these days, a gift of Newsweek or US News and World Report carries extra impact.

Gifts for Special Interests

Magazines, more than any other gift category, can deliver something for virtually every special interest. Selections can satisfy people as diverse as professional women (Working Mother) or power lifters (Muscle & Fitness).

It doesn't matter who has found their way onto the gift list. Skateboarders? (MyMags.com, for example, has three choices.) Computer geeks? (Seven choices.) Movie junkies? (Three.) Outdoorsy types? (More than two-dozen.) And, the list goes on.

Gifts for Kids and Teens

Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and others have a special challenge. They want to give the kids in their life something that won't break the minute they open it. Magazines provide a perfect solution.

MyMags.com offers children Jack & Jill, Child Life, Nickelodeon and many other age-appropriate choices. For teens, there is Teen, Campus Life, Cosmo Girl and many other popular titles.

Regular deliveries foster a love of reading in youngsters and give them the thrill of getting their own mail.
"My daughter looks forward to every issue of My Big Backyard," said Pamela Swenson, a Midwestern mother. "It's exciting to see her manage to read a little more of each issue."

Gifts Under $10

Magazines offer a great value, extending the spirit of gift giving long after the initial occasion.

Especially useful when gift lists run long is that many subscriptions are available for less than $10. Examples of these values include Details, Esquire, Y.M., Sports Afield and many others.

Wrap Up Holiday Shopping

At no time are the advantages of online magazine services like MyMags.com and Business Magazine Subscriptions more appreciated than the holidays.

Many holiday shoppers like Barb Smith have found that - by adding the speed and convenience of online-ordering to the value and selection of magazine subscriptions - their daunting task can be completed in just a few minutes.
