Simply sign them up for a 12 month subscriptiion and get them something they'll enjoy. If they don't read it, who cares! There are plenty of sweaters and jeans that go to waste :) I think magazines are a great gift. Simply sign them up for a 12 month subscriptiion and get them something they’ll enjoy.

Every month it never even leaves the wrapper, but goes straight to the recycle bin. To me that is a waste of money, but I don't want to offend her. In this age of "green" awareness, and busy lifestyles, I'm not sure this one is such a great gift idea. Just my personal experience and opinion.
