Magazine Subscription

[jennyjoan]

Am trying to make bits and pieces of a present for someone. One idea is that I'd like to pay for a monthly magazine subscription for a year. What do I do, I don't know what she buys.

[emmie]

what are her interests?

[emmie]

does she do crosswords puzzles, if so you could get her a years subcription for that, or does she sew/knit, do crochet, bake?

[jennyjoan]

Hi emmie - do I need to know the exact magazine she likes - if so, I can maybe get that information from her daughter, I know she likes all titbitts and crosswords

[tiggerblue10]

What magazines do they like?

[bednobs]

the only thing you can do is ask her

[jennyjoan]

no none of the other items ie sew bake knit etc.

just works and comes home and flops down (lives on her own)

[jennyjoan]

it's a big birthday so this time don't want to ask her

[emmie]

ask her daughter first.... she should be able to shed light on what
she might like.

Amazon vouchers?

[elliemay1]

If you are talking to her you could mention an article in a magazine that you have read and see how she reacts. She may say she does/doesn't buy that mag so now you have an opening to find out which one, if any, she buys. Make sure though that she hasn't already a subscription

[emmie]

yes there are always what tiggs suggests.

[jennyjoan]

that's a good idea tiggerblue but she doesn't know how to order - gets daughter to get her bits and pieces

[jennyjoan]

does one know how long the Amazon vouchers last

[Patsy33]

Yours, magazine is popular.

[emmie]

when is the birthday?

[jennyjoan]

21st queen's birthday LOL

[tiggerblue10]

What about creating a care package with toiletries, perfume and other bits and bobs? If you know what toiletries she uses, of course.

[emmie]

according to Amazon web site, they have a life span of 10 years from date of issuance.....

[emmie]

speak with her daughter first but amazon vouchers seems a good plan,

Not sure how it works but you can get a subscription to something called Readly where you can pay so much a month and get access to a load of magazines online if she has access to a computer.
