As Christmas Day speeds towards us at an astonishing rate, there may some last minute gifts required and subscription gifts can be a fantastic option as they mean the recipient gets something to look forward to throughout the year ahead. Plus, you don’t need to battle for a parking space as they can be ordered from the comfort of home knowing it won’t get lost in the post. We take a look at our favourites.
ADULTS
Jennie Maizels Sketchbook Club £20.00 – Georgie has been doing this online course as well as being lucky enough to go to a Sketchbook Club Day. She finds it a great way to switch off from all things Mum related. Some days Harry even gets involved! It is also a great way to start drawing and painting if you have not done it for a while (or even at all!) as Jennie guides you through what to do as well as giving you the option to go your own way. There is also a Starter Set you can purchase to get going.
My Little Box from £33.00 – we love the look of this. Gorgeously packaged with little treats every month. Each box has a different theme from Fashion to Creative to Riviera. A definite “me time” treat for any busy mum!
My Bakes from £33.75 – this is a good subscription for anyone who loves to bake – it can also be something which is an activity one with the kids as long as the recipient isn’t too precious about the results!
Hope & Glory coffee subscription from £35.00 – Katie and Georgie’s husband love coffee and this is a way to try out new blends on a lazy weekend.
KIDS
Dot magazine from £15.00 and Anorak magazine from £22.00 – Harry is subscribed to the Dot magazine and he loves getting it in the post. Great graphics and activities.
Toucan Box from £24.65 – Harry is subscribed to the Petite Box (pictured above) which arrives every fortnight and he LOVES them. They come with all the materials and instructions as well as ideas for other crafts.
Pip Sticks sticker subscription from $45.00 (shipping to UK and extra $3.00 a month) – cute stylish stickers to create a happy (maybe quiet?…for 10 minutes??) child. There is also an option for Grown-Ups as well!
The Beautiful Book Company from £29.99 – this would make a fantastic new baby gift as well as Christmas gift. There are options for all ages. This is a wonderful gift as all children just love a bedtime story…just one more, pleeeaassse!
