A couple I know is about to have their first baby, and I would like to
give the newborn a lifetime subscription to a magazine.

Years ago, the most famous of these offers was for National
Geographic.  As I recall, it was something like $350 for a lifetime
subscription.

A great answer would be a list of 3-6 (wide circulation) magazines
that offer lifetime subscriptions.

All comments greatly appreciated!

Yikes. A National Geographic lifetime membership is now $850:

Instead of a magzine subscription, have you considered purchasing a
lifetime membership for a local museum, aquarium, zoo, planetarium, or
such? This would provide a lot of educational value as the child grows
older.

Bobbie7---thanks very much!  Please post as an answer so I can pay
you.
