My niece's birthday is on Christmas, and I've been trying to brainstorm some inexpensive ideas. She will be 15. 15-year-olds are hard to shop for, y'all. I found a deal for a magazine subscription, and thought that would be cool--a gift that keeps on giving. My 15yo self would've loved that.
What do y'all think? Would your 15yo self like want a magazine subscription? Am I so behind the times? Which would you get, Teen Vogue or Seventeen?

Well, I probably would have loved Cosmo, but that's probably a little inappropriate 
Seventeen was always a 'cool' magazine to have - no idea about now though. High School was a loooong time ago

@swurlygurl: my problem exactly. I barely remember high school 
and I am so out of touch with what's cool. Do kids still read magazines?!

I loved getting magazine subscriptions! I saw on another thread that someone would get a magazine subscription, but gift the current issue along with something related to it and a note that they had a subscription. Is your niece into any hobbies/sports? I ran track/cross country in high school and someone gifted me a subscription to Runner's World. It was one of my favorite gifts.
ETA: I'd go with Teen Vogue. Seventeen doesn't seem as cool to me (as a 29-year-old). But I'm visiting my niece this weekend, I can ask her what the cool magazines are.

@avivoca: yes! Ask her please! Her hobbies are clothes, friends, and selfies.

I loved teen vogue! I did think it was a little cooler than Seventeen but I had subscriptions to both

@photojane: I just texted my 14-year-old stepdaughter. I left it open-ended and just asked which magazine she'd want (didn't give her any choices). She immediately responded Seventeen!

I'd go with Seventeen. I felt like Teen Vogue had so much stuff I can't afford!
