Magazine subscriptions can be a very nice Christmas gift for just about anyone. There are so many different magazines that you can easily find a gift that appeals to a news junky, a sports fan, or a craft queen. I used to hesitate to buy magazine subscriptions as gifts until I realized I could get some really good deals on them and that I could still give them a tangible gift on the big day by buying one issue of the magazine or a related trinket and attaching a gift subscription note to it. (Craft scissors with a scrapping mag subscription note tied to the handle with decorative ribbon or a fishing lure that has a fishing mag subscription note fastened on with some fishing line are two trinket presentation examples.)
Ready to buy some magazine subscriptions to give as gifts? Here are some of the cheapest ways to do it:
- Join magazines.com. I get $5 gift card offers several times a year. I can redeem them for a free magazine or for a $5 check.
- Keep an eye on Amazon.com
. I have been able to buy $5 subscriptions to some magazines and have also seen quite a few $10 offers.
- Look for buy one, get one free offers on magazines you subscribe to. I have been able to get free gift subscriptions to The Week and This Old House when I was renewing my own subscriptions.
- Look for free magazine offers from places like freebizmags.com. I got a free subscription to Horse Fancy magazine through them.
