check online for cheap magazine subscriptions. I got my mom and myself each a year of Taste of Home for only $3.99 each a few weeks ago.
To make this a great gift to open - go and buy a current copy of the magazine and wrap it up with a note saying how many issues they get. I have given Digital Photography and other magazines this way and it is a lot of fun.
If you have a younger chld with divorced parents, consider sending a copy of a magazine like Family Fun to EACH parents' home. it really makes things a lot less stressful for the child. Looking for cheap magazine deals makes this even easier. Most of the super cheap online magazine deals are legitimate and no slower than filling out those cards that come with magazines.
