The run-up to Christmas can feel like a whirlwind — shopping lists, social plans, endless to-dos. Sometimes all you want is five quiet minutes, a cosy chair, and a good read. That’s where The People’s Friend and My Weekly step in. Both magazines are lovingly created to give you a moment of calm, comfort and inspiration – and they make the perfect gift this Christmas too.
The People’s Friend is the home of great reading, filled with heart-warming short stories, nostalgic features, inspiring crafts and recipes, and plenty of puzzles. Every issue offers time to pause, unwind and enjoy a moment that’s just for you.
We will also send you a free gift when you subscribe - The Friendship Book 2026. A treasured keepsake for yourself, or a thoughtful extra to wrap and place under the tree.




My Weekly is packed with uplifting short reads, clever lifestyle tips, festive recipes and a sprinkle of sparkle, My Weekly is your weekly dose of inspiration and “me time”. It’s the perfect pick-me-up throughout the the year.
Each My Weekly also includes a free gift – Jackie: The Best of the 70s. A nostalgic treat to enjoy yourself, or to share as a Christmas surprise.
This Christmas, give yourself – or someone you love – the gift of great reading.
