Suggestions for subscription presents please.

Hi Kitty
There was a long thread about this on Mumsnet with lots of suggestions.
If you fancy searching for it, the MN search function works like a dream

That's interesting Fanny. Why doesn't GN Search work at all I wonder??

Aldom
Because we don’t bring in enough money. Simples ?

Hi Kitty,

I know this is a bit off the wall as a suggestion and maybe just an added extra, but last year I bought the App CALM it has music, timed meditations, fabulous nighttime stories to help with sleep or if he wakes in the night and can’t get back to sleep. There is not a day goes by that I don’t need to dip into it. I have put it on my mobile phone too as it is easy to plug into it at night and put it under the pillow. It switches off when the story etc finishes. I share it with DS.

PS I can confirm you don’t look old enough !

SILs all appreciated Craft Gin Club subscription- and occasionally the odd cocktail with their MIL.

Great nibbles too.

I’ve just found a site called All Subscription Boxes UK which looks helpful

Unlimited Amazon kindle and music.

We have the craft gin subscription too. I must admit, I have massive backlog of gin though because of covid and no visitors!

Just tell me when Jane and I’ll help you out!
Fortunately gin keeps (given the chance!)

Thank you Kate. I like you a lot.

OH bought me a subscription to the London Review of Books which comes out fortnightly.

A small gift to add to others might be a subscription to the New York Times Spelling Bee (about £3 per month)
The player is given a honeycomb of 7 letters and challenged to make as many words over four letters as possible. Each word must contain the letter at the centre of the honeycomb at least once. A former English teacher might like that.

Cheese tasting monthly from the Dairy at Settle. They will suggest a wine to match and a programme to watch while tasting.
Or a subscription to say the National trust /or Historic houses that has walks for wheelchairs and disabled.

Hi Kitty, if your DS1 is interested in current affairs and politics and also enjoys a good laugh, I'd suggest a subscription to Private Eye magazine. It's delivered fortnightly, is extremely informative but also full of very funny takes on what's currently in the news. I have subscriptions for myself and for my own DS1 (also 50) and we find it highly entertaining!

Maybe Vinylmoon or Cassetteclub subscriptions if he loves his music .

If DH managed a helicopter flight, then how about a steam train journey? Depends on where you live, but some of these one-day journeys look wonderful and they can include meals.

Just thought because of an email I have received. Is he interested in his family tree? I have two disabled relations who spend a lot of time on Ancestry especially during routine long hospital stays. Membership and a DNA test are what they did and now get messages from a lot of countries.

If he’s interested in boxing a subscription to “Ring magazine” it’s printed in America. Look it up on the internet.

Ancestory ...I love it and can loose Myself for hours

I second a kindle subscription, free books is great

READLY: hundreds of magazines digitally and you can share it with 4 others.

A jigsaw library? Could be difficult but I don't know ( no do I need to know ) what his disability is.

A magazine subscription perhaps for something he wouldn't normally buy as too expensive per issue

Cheese subscription was particularly appreciated by my foodie son! Every few months loads of cheeses arrive to be tasted/tested. Or magazine subscriptions. If he likes classical music, there is something called Marquee tv, which someone gave me and my husband as a present for Xmas. Gives access to loads of concerts, ballets, operas etc.
