This started as us buying from a relative as a fundraiser years ago. Then ended up really liking having hard copies of something coming every month. They kept it up and average one subscription each per year.


cooking, taekwondo, lacrosse, running, math, historical fiction


There are lots of magazines for cooking and running/fitness. I would start with those. To be honest, mine liked the cooking ones the least and found it easier to look up a recipe. I just did a quick google search and there are lacrosse and Taekwondo magazines.

Do you have a link for The Maze. Google has a lot of similar options so I'm not sure what it is to look.

I don’t think so. I would maybe look into a subscription service instead that are tailored to their interests. This seems to be the modern version of magazines imo.
