Ideas when buying a subscription as a gift
We understand that when buying a subscription as a gift you will want to give your recipient something to tell them you have purchased a subscription gift.
At Unique Magazines we have several ideas and suggestions which will make your gift that extra bit special.
The Unique vCard. Our Unique vCard service allows you to print off a card which tells your recipient exactly what you have bought for them, with a visual of the magazine, and you can add a personal message. Simply print it off, pop it in a card, and give it to your gift recipient on the special day.
The Unique Gift Card. Simply add a gift card to you order, and we will send it to you to write in a personal message and give to your recipient.
Send a Gift Voucher. You can choose a gift voucher for any amount between £5 and £100. You can send the voucher electronically to your recipient via email, or choose to have a physical voucher sent to you with a gift card so that you can add a personal messgage and give to your recipient on the special day.
Buy the latest issue of the magazine from the newsagent, wrap it up, and give it to the recipient on the special day. This will give them something to wet their appetite until the first issue of your wonderful gift arrives.
