Christmas magazines 2021

[NoWordForFluffy]

I was thinking earlier, surely it's time some of these hit the shops (especially the GH Get Ahead one). Has anybody been looking / happened upon any yet?

I can't stop myself buying them, even when I tell myself I won't!

You can pre-order This England's 2021 Christmas issue here: www.thisengland.co.uk/christmas-gifts/christmas-gifts-for-her/this-england-christmas-2021

A poster recommended it last year and it became a fast favourite.

Ta daaaaah!

Thanks I managed to buy this last week. It was the only Christmas magazine out. I went shopping yesterday and bought all the ingredients to make the Salted Caramel Cheesecake for DH. I have to have DF but might have a spoonful just to try it.

I made cheesecake with dairy free soft cheese last year. The texture really wasn't great and the kids - who are the ones who need dairy free - wouldn't go near it! 🙄

Wahay! I have scored: Good Housekeeping Christmas Collection, Country Living Christmas and the People's Friend, the Magic of Christmas!

What?! Well done you.

Ooh. Just ordered GH online, so should hopefully get it soon through the door!

Ideal Home Christmas Special is out today: www.newsstand.co.uk/242-Home-Interiors-Magazines/822-Subscribe-to-IDEAL-HOME-CHRISTMAS-SPECIAL-Magazine-Subscription.aspx

I'm still waiting for the ones I orders online to appear.

I might venture to WHS tomorrow to buy another while I'm waiting!

I just bought simply Christmas £6.99 to take me to my happy place and came with some wooden decorations

Does anyone else like picking up the free M&S/Aldi/etc thick Christmas food catalogues?
I rarely buy anything, but love the thick paper, the food photography and reading about each item lol!

Yes! And our kids keep the Booths ones...we have them going back a few years!

I was shopping yesterday. As I was about to pay, I saw a magazine called Simply Christmas. I was going to buy it however did not have the money.

Today's scores have been Ideal Home's Christmas, and the Christmas Magazine. And, erm, Simply Christmas earlier in the week. . .

Spotted this on Sainsburys online shopping

Just bought these!

Love Christmas magazines but I can also recommend books (eg Scandinavian Christmas on amazon)
They double up as decor too

Oh yes!

I like the supermarket food catalogues for cooking ideas too.

I love the Booths one - to me it feels like a Christmas magazine! I live in Scotland so one of DH's work colleagues posts one and when he has his annual meeting in December in the Lake District I give him a shopping list!

I'm down south so no Booths here 😭

Homestyle Christmas is out: www.newsstand.co.uk/240-Cooking-and-Food-Magazines/23860-Subscribe-to-HOMESTYLE-CHRISTMAS-Magazine-Subscription.aspx

I ordered Homestyle to be posted. Hopefully it comes soon, seeing as my GH hasn't bothered arriving yet.

If I was only going to buy one Christmas magazine, which would you recommend? Best value, most interesting content and recipes etc.

That's like asking someone to pick their favourite child!

I always buy Good Housekeeping and Prima, bit only because my DM did. Same with the Radio Times - I only buy the Christmas issue. Its traditional
