What is The Simple Things all about?
We aren’t like most of the magazines you will find in your local supermarket or newsagent, if you want to read about celebrity gossip, or be told what to wear or how to look then our magazine isn’t for you. We are a small independent magazine made for its readers, not its advertisers and our cover words don’t make promises we can’t deliver on.
Instead, let me tell you who we are...
The Simple Things is a monthly independent magazine made by a small team. We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have and making the most of where you live.
We like to share good food with friends and family, grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds and decorate our home with the plunder.
We love being outdoors, micro-adventures, forgotten wisdom and the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
And we like to think that the small things we do will make a difference in the long run – whether that’s making, upcycling, growing, cooking, escaping or relaxing.
In a complicated world, it's the simple things that matter most.
If you think you know someone who might appreciate a few hours each month to slow down and enjoy life's simple pleasures, then a gift subscription is spot on.
But The Simple Things is more than just relaxation, It will also:
SURPRISE - each issue is 132 pages of ideas, inspiration and features. The things you’d never stumble across on google.
TEACH - each issue rediscovers forgotten wisdom, for instance how to read a landscape and gather clues about the great outdoors (October issue).
CREATE - try your hand at a new skill or project - even if you don’t think you can. Make goats milk and lavender soap (Nov issue).
EXPLORE - really get to know your local area and enjoy the things you’d normally walk right past. Where to find wild garlic (April issue). How to really listen to where you live (February issue).
BREATHE - how to slow down, take a moment and relax. How to bounce back and make lemonade when life throws you lemons (May issue).
DISCOVER - travel to a city with someone who really knows its secrets, each month a local writer will show you around their city. This year we’ve visited Salzburg, Bologna, Helsinki and many more.
COOK - each issue contains dozens of recipes from simple treats like orange and rosemary cake (April issue) to impressive lunchtime plates (filo-wrapped brie with hot honey and anchovies (May issue), while
EVERY issue gives you a full but relaxed menu for a weekend gathering with friends or family.
And you’d be right in thinking there’s a lot packed into each issue of The Simple Things, more than enough to justify its £6 per issue price tag, but it gets better…
