Money Crashers: Two kid-themed articles

The new articles on Money Crashers just keep popping. Today, two articles on gift ideas for kids that didn't quite make it in time for the holiday season hit the site. The first, 15 Best Magazine Subscriptions for Kids of All Ages, names the best magazines for different age groups — preschool, primary school, tweens, and teens — based on recommendations from parents, booksellers, and educators. Getting your kids hooked on one of these magazines (such as Cricket, which I avidly read from ages 6 through 16) is a great way to give them the gift of a lifelong love of reading, which will stand them in good stead in school and throughout their lives.

The second article, 13 Subscription Gift Boxes for Kids That Keep on Giving, is about subscriptions of a different sort: those monthly boxes that give you a new surprise treat every month. Personally, I've never found one of these I considered to be a good value for me as an adult, but I can see how they could make great gifts for kids. Instead of giving a child just one toy, which that may or may not be a hit, you can give them a whole new surprise to open to each month. If one of them turns out to be less than exciting, perhaps the next will be better — plus they get the pleasure of anticipating the next one all month long. These 13 subscription boxes — featuring child-friendly clothing, books, toys, and educational activities — are parents' favorites.
