Subscription gifts?

21 replies

lostlalaloopsy · 18/08/2018 10:07

Has anyone got any recommendations of subscription gifts? I was thinking of this rather than the usual bottle and biscuits which I do every year!! I was thinking of some sort of subscription for dc too.

Any suggestions will gratefully received!!

Dh got a coffee bean subscription for his 40th last year. That's been a bit.

He has previously had a Friday night curry kit delivered monthly. Enjoyed that.

As a family we've enjoyed subscriptions to Nat Trust and local safari park.

Off course mag subscriptions too...

Readly is a fab subscription if the person you’re buying for likes magazines. Access to online editions of over 2000 mags (past and present) for only £7.99. Currently 99p for 3 months.

Buy on the App Store.

I’ve used Readly, Rave coffee, Spicery, Not Another Bill, The Week magazine and Birchbox.

Cure and Simple bacon is very nice.

The best subscription gift I've ever got was the Hotel Chocolat one-year subscription PIL bought me last Christmas. I've just looked at the price .

I’ve enjoyed receiving subscriptions- and I give them too. . The gift that keeps on giving ( for a year, anyway !) I’ve had art gallery memberships, magazines, online tutorials ( art) - I’m giving an Art Fund membership to someone this week as a milestone birthday gift. My DH had a coffee subscription which was fun and expanded his taste horizons.

Katescurios · 19/08/2018 08:52

Who is t for and what do they like?

BikeRunSki · 19/08/2018 08:56

Bloom and Wild flowers
I gave DB an olive subscription last year, but can’t remember who it was from, but I found them via Not on the High Street.

I fancy a cheese subscription for my birthday.

Lollipop box is good - cute stationary

My friends get witch casket which seems great value

I found an enamel pin one recently which is super cute

Hi I don't suppose you can purchase a subscription for a kindle? It's the only thing my mums into x

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 25/08/2018 22:00

I get the craft gin club one every other month, it’s fab and great customer service. DH loves private eye magazine and that’s pretty reasonable.

Jfw82 · 25/08/2018 22:06

There is kindle unlimited which lets you borrow from kindle lending library up to 10
Books at a time no limit as to how many a month - think I pay 7.99 a month

Louise5754 · 25/08/2018 22:44

Thank you

I subscribe to the Pin Party Club, run by the girl from Sugar & Sloth, it's such an adorable treat, my girls get SO excited when it arrives. She also shares videos and behind the scenes bit in her Facebook group so it's nice to support a small UK artist //www.sugarandsloth.co.uk/pin-party-sign-up

snowmanshoes · 02/09/2018 17:35

What age do you think the pin party club is aimed at please for those who have had it? My dd collects pin badges but she's 12 and wondering if she may be a bit old?

sleepismysuperpower1 · 07/09/2018 18:48

i think she would be absolutely fine with the subscription box. alternatively, you could get an advent calendar that you fill yourself, and put pins sourced from ebay etc in each day, as well as chocolate
