It’s my 3rd blog birthday this month – and to celebrate I am
bringing you 3 awesome giveaways this week...
Magazines are a huge part of my life. I’m not really a book
reader, and much prefer reading articles in my favourite magazines. I think
this stems from my love of comics from an early age – I started off with Pippin
in Playland, moved on to the Beano, Look-In then Smash Hits before devouring
magazines as a young adult ( including Sky and The Face in the 90’s).
That's why I buy actual physical copies of UK magazines and often give
magazine subscriptions as gifts. It’s a great idea for a birthday gift for
someone. The recipients get something every month delivered straight to their front door,
courtesy of you. It really is the proverbial gift that keeps on giving.
I was extremely excited when magazine.co.uk, the UK's leading magazine subscription site, contacted me to
ask if I would like to be part of their blogger programme. Becoming one of
their approved bloggers, I myself receive subscriptions to magazines and write
about articles within them, over on their blog ‘The Hub’.
For you, Cakeyboi visitor, I am pleased to bring you, via magazine.co.uk, the
chance to win a year’s subscription to ‘Delicious’ magazine, the UK’s ‘food
magazine of the year’. 12 copies delivered straight to your door. This is worth
over £30.
If you would like to be in with a chance of winning a year’s
subscription to Delicious magazine, entry is via the Rafflecopter thingamajig
below. Minimum entry is to leave a comment, telling me what comic you used to
read as a child. Other options are there too, including Twitter and Facebook
(when it says visit - a ‘Like’ would be
lovely).
(If you would like to receive special offers, discount codes etc. from magazine.co.uk drop me an email and I will pass your details on.)
(If you would like to receive special offers, discount codes etc. from magazine.co.uk drop me an email and I will pass your details on.)

ReplyDeleteReally showing my age here when I tell you I read the original Pippin (no Playland in my day!), featuring the Pogles Wood characters - also read the Beano & the Dandy, Bunty, June & Schoolfriends - maybe the fact that my grandad had a newsagent allowed my indulgence in reading a wide range of comics up until about 10 when he retired!
