We love magazines here at Unique. From the weird and wonderful niche titles that are available to suit any hobby, to the broadest of general interest magazines there really is something to suit anybody’s taste.
There are huge event magazines, published rarely but packed full of content, and there are travel-sized booklets that easily fit in your bag each week. The kids can be entertained with any number of educational comics, whilst adults who wish to unwind and practice their mindfulness can settle down with an adult colouring book.
There are so many weird, wonderful and simply brilliant magazines on the shelves these days that we decided we simply had to spotlight some of our favourites on the Unique Magazines blog. We’ll be sharing our favourite reads, discussing what makes each publication great and talking to the people behind the magazine so be sure to keep an eye out for our latest posts. You may even find your new favourite magazine.
