Magazine Subscriptions And The Free Man

By Patricia Connor

Getting magazine subscriptions for holiday gifts is a great idea. You can breeze through your to buy for list and move on to enjoying the season. These gifts are great for anyone on your life including the hard to buy for and people who live out of town. They are also a great fundraising opportunity for an organization.

Many times we won't splurge on a subscription for ourselves but love getting them as gifts guilt free. The new homeowner would enjoy the gift of a magazine for their new home as they decorate it. For the difficult to buy for they will also enjoy reading materials and they make great gifts for people out of town. You can order them and avoid shipping costs of mailing presents out of town.

A magazine subscription makes a great birthday gift as well. They can remember how thoughtful you were all year when the receive their magazine every month. It is great to give again and again as you can renew the subscription every year. Some offer a great rate for renewal too. The teenage boy will always appreciate a video game magazine if the are into that or the teenage girl a fashion magazine.

For the person who loves to travel you can get them a travel magazine, or for the cook there are several different magazines out there for them too. You can even add a magazine to any gift basket for an added treat. Add a bunch of cooking supplies and a fun accessory and pop it into the basket. It can be a theme such as French cooking and get them a subscription to Bon Apetite'.

If you are always stuck in a stuffy waiting room with no good magazines you like at the doctor's office you can give them a gift of a subscription during the holidays. If you own your own company with a waiting room your subcriptions can be tax deductable as a business expense.

You can also give the teacher from your child's class the gift of a subscription and they will love you for it. You can even have the class pitch in for a group gift as well. It is a nice added bonus for the teacher as they spend a lot of their own money on school materials out of their own pocket.

Selling magazine subscriptions is also great for the organization who is looking for a unique thing to do for a fundraiser. They can offer the idea of getting a subscription as a gift for someone they know that can be delivered right to their door. You get a good profit from companies who offer subcription selling as a fundraiser.

Enjoy your holidays this year by getting magazine subscriptions for everyone on your list. You will be happy if you use this idea for a fundraising event and also for birthday gifts. Don't forget those feet won't be sore walking the mall and you will save a bundle on postage. Spend that money on a pedicure instead and treat yourself knowing you saved money this year on shipping costs.
