Even though we have been in our house now for four years, before that, Hubby and I moved. A lot. Usually almost annually, some years more often. And there was one thing that happened every time we moved. We would pack. I would have five boxes for the kitchen. Two for the living room and one per person of the bedroom and bathroom stuff. And up to TEN boxes for the office…
Why such a ridiculous number? Well apparently I have an addiction. I love a glossy magazine. And I have them all. I had wedding ones, home design ones, property and investment ones, fashion ones, cooking ones, house and garden ones, girly ones, more womanly ones. Oh and I had junky ones. Mmmmm. Gossip mags.
They would fill well over four boxes. FOUR VERY HEAVY BOXES.
I couldn’t get rid of them. I loved them. I liked to possess them. It was, I guess, the next closest thing to possessing the many, varied, beautiful things in them. Sometimes I would buy them and not get around to reading them. A quick flick through and I was happy.
So over the years I have had many a magazine subscription. Working full time I found it convenient to have them delivered to my door every month. And let’s face it, since I was buying them anyway, it was cheaper too. See what I did there, Hubby calls it the win/win! HA. My favourite is Madison {I still remember picking up the first ever issue to read on an overseas flight. It was twice the thickness of other magazines and half the price! WIN}.
And given my, ummm, penchant for all things magazine, I have often given subscriptions as gifts. My Dad had so many magazines coming at one stage he asked me to STOP! Haha. Or to renew existing ones if I must. The bonus is, for those desperately seeking a Mother’s Day gift is that there are some great discounts at the moment due AND {this is the really exciting bit for me, as you know!!}
YOU CAN WIN A TRIP OF A LIFETIME {yes, a lifetime!!} TO ITALY. Did you hear that? ITALY. Viva Italia. And we all know how desperately I want to take THAT trip. Right, Renovating Italy crew!? I have got to get myself in the running for that. Ah hunny, more subscriptions to come!
So there you go. Go on. Tell me that this post hasn’t solved all the world’s problems in one go.
A magazine subscription is the perfect Mother’s Day gift! Subscribe now to Madison Magazine or to one of the fashion magazines and you could win a trip of a lifetime to Italy.
