    The Children’s Book Review

    Besides the fact that subscription gifts are the perfect option for the kid with everything, there are so many reasons that gifting subscriptions to kids is a great idea. For one, they offer ongoing benefits ranging daily to monthly, which means you’ll be brightening a kiddo’s day long after that holiday wrapping paper has been tossed in the trash!

    The subscription ideas we have for you here range from a monthly audiobook subscription to a monthly gift-wrapped book box subscription to annual subscriptions to our favorite educational apps. These unique gifts will definitely earn you “cool” status with the recipient (who will likely not even realize you’re helping them boost their literacy skills)!

    Buy the AudiobookAudible.com

    We are huge fans of listening to audiobooks. They are so great for so many reasons, and there are so many ways to fit them into the day: driving in the car, quiet time, and winding down at bedtime, to name just three. Monthly subscriptions to Audible.com can be given to anyone, even if they already have an Audible member. You can even gift a specific audiobook if that’s what you prefer. It’s also straightforward to exchange an audiobook if they start listening to something they’re not loving. Pair the subscription with a set of headphones.
