Great Geeky Gift Idea

For years I have gotten my son the National Geographic Kids magazine every Christmas.  Today I thought I would let you all know what a great magazine I think this one is.  If your child is anything like mine and soaks up information like a sponge this magazine is ideal for them.  They are filled with fun facts, fascinating stories, and quirky little games.  For children with ADD or ADHD they are great because the articles are shorter but very interesting.  My son reads them from cover to cover and often goes back for second and third reads.  When he was in elementary school his teachers allowed the magazine to count towards reading credits, which is always a plus.  They don't come monthly but that is part of the appeal because they are so unexpected when they do come.  If you are cash strapped this holiday, which lets face it unless you happen to have the last name Winfrey we pretty much all are, this gift does allow the "bill me later" option.  It won't get here in time for Christmas but the magazines are a few bucks at Books A Million or print out what I call the "Certificate of Authenticity".  It's fairly simple to make a certificate, print it out, and your child will be so excited!
