"Thank you once again for the only magazine I couldn’t live without. "

Margaret, subscriber

A small independent magazine

We make our magazine for our readers, rather than our advertisers. We believe in good paper, beautiful design and our words and pictures won't always try to sell you stuff.

What's included...

  • Could do rather than should do lists
  • Sharing good food with family and friends
  • Rediscovering the wonders on your doorstep
  • A reminder of life’s simple pleasures

...and what's not

  • Perfection (the word ‘perfect’ is banned)
  • Celebrity gossip
  • What to wear and how to look

'It's like getting a hug in the post'

Our Manifesto

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 find and decorate our home with the plunder. 


We love being outdoors, microadventures, 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.

So you might have a few questions...

Why such a good deal?

Because we think that if you’ve read this far (thank you) and you like the sound of our magazine then you will keep on subscribing and you’ll continue to enjoy discovering how to live a simple and happy life through its pages. We are here for the long term and we hope you will be too.

Can I cancel?

You can cancel at any time and be refunded for any issues that aren't already in the mailing process. If you like the magazine then your subscription will continue to renew every three months at a rate of £14.50, saving you money on every issue. BUT if you decide it isn’t for you then YOU CAN CANCEL AT ANY TIME. The pick me up pack is yours to keep whatever. So there really is no risk in giving us a try.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes! Just add the lucky recipient's details into the shipping box on the checkout page and the subscription will go direct to them, we even have a gift certificate you can download and email over. 

Time is of the essence!

This is an experiment for us, we will lose money on your first three months but we are confident you will stay and enjoy us for longer. We are a small business and so we can’t keep up this experiment for long! We’ve ordered what we think are enough copies and postcards for the next few weeks and after that we’ll need to see. 

 In case you’re one of those people (like me) who just skip to the end, here are the key points:


Our magazine can help you spend your time more wisely, relax, learn, explore, cook and make.


It's not like most of the magazines you'll find on the newsstand. We are small and independent and that is a good thing.


We want to offer you a chance to try The Simple Things for just £11 for your first three issues. After that you'll pay £14.50 every three issues and still save 30% on the newsstand price.


Your subscription will automatically renew, but there's no risk as you can cancel at any time.


Not only will you get a great deal on a subscription , but we'll also send you a free back issue copy of The Simple Things worth £6.99 PLUS a pack of positive postcards to display or share. That's £31.97 worth of stuff for £11.


We can't keep this offer going forever so please take a moment to sign up now.
