Yes, if you have the email address of the recipient, we can send an e-card at the time of purchase or on a date of your choice. Please note that if your gift subscription comes with a welcome gift, the welcome gift will be sent to you to give to the recipient or to keep for yourself.
When you're ready to add a product to your basket, please ensure you have selected 'Yes' to 'Is this a gift' in Step 1 on the product page.
This will give you the option to send the product to someone else and also give you the option to input the recipient's email address so you can send them a free eCard on the date of your choice.
Once you have completed the checkout, you'll see a 'Send eCard' button where you can personalise the creative, messaging and choose the date that you want the eCard to be sent via email.

Yes, if you have previously purchased a print or print subscription for someone and now wish to upgrade them to include the digital element, you can do so. However, there can only be one recipient per upgrade i.e. you cannot have two different recipients where one receives the print version and another receives digital.
You can do so by contacting us via email at bauer@subscription.co.uk or over the phone on 01858 438884.
