many of the modern translations change words and actually change the meaning into something different.Only king james bibles should be given as gifts to keep from confusing someone , for someone who already reads the bible on their own , I think it's ok for them to read different translations in studying and compare it to king james. -

The New Revised Standard is not a good choice. Not much went into making that translation and a lot is left out. It is the most argued translation out there. A more authentic one live the NASB or the ESV is a better choice if going for a more readable text.

When giving a Bible to a Catholic, please make sure it is a Catholic Bible. The New American Bible copyright 1995 is the one from which the current (2004) readings for Mass are taken. It is nice to have the version that is used at Mass.

Keep in mind that many conservative Protestants will only use the King James Version (the Authorized Version) of the Bible. Be sure to find out whether the person you'll be giving a Bible to believes in "KJV only."

Consider buying a readable Bible; e.g., the New Revised Standard Version. I particularly recomment the HarperCollins Study Bible, which has great annotations. The New Oxford Annotated Bible is a close second.
