The season of giving is here, and few gifts feel as thoughtful and timeless as a magazine subscription. It’s personal, inspiring, and continues to delight long after the holidays have passed.

But here’s something many people don’t realize: magazines take time to start — often 6 to 16 weeks — because publishers print and mail issues based on confirmed subscription numbers.

That’s why November is the latest month to order if you want your gift to arrive on or around the holidays.


Why Ordering Early Matters

Monthly magazine issues are printed and mailed about a month in advance — for example, the December issue is usually sent out in mid-November, which means your subscription should be placed in October to be included in that printing cycle.

So, while a December subscription purchase may feel just in time, the first issue will arrive after the New Year. Ordering now ensures your recipient begins enjoying their magazine during the festive season itself.



A Gift That Feels Instant

Even though delivery takes a few weeks, your gift doesn’t have to wait. We’ll send a personalized holiday gift card or e-card to let your recipient know their subscription is on its way — a thoughtful touch that pairs beautifully with a handwritten note or wrapped with a small keepsake.
