The Ribbon in My Journal – Phyllis Hoffman DePiano

Get Your Holiday Gift Shopping Done Early

It feels like just yesterday we were beginning fall—my favorite time of year. Now, October is almost over, and you all know what that means: It’s one month closer to the holiday season! My, how time flies.

With the holiday season comes get-togethers with family and friends, cooking, cooking, and more cooking, shopping, and tons of holiday cheer.

In this busy time of year, sometimes you just need something quick and easy. Be prepared this season and get ahead of the Christmas shopping madness by purchasing online. From today until Sunday at midnight, we will be running a 20% off sale on all the products found on our Hoffman Media store. Use the code FRIENDS at checkout to get the discount.

With just a click of your computer mouse, any of the lovely items on our store can be yours! Save big on back issues, books, special issues, and more. I always love taking advantage of a good sale.

See one of our magazine titles that you just know your family members or friends would love and enjoy year-round? Purchase a subscription for them!

We have something for everyone. Take a look at our books section, and I promise you won’t leave without finding something you love.  

For those of you who absolutely love artisan baking, Bake from Scratch’s cookbook is the go-to resource to keep handy in your kitchen. Once you take a look at all of the gorgeous baked goods, you’ll want to get busy on your next baking project.

Paula Deen’s new book, At the Southern Table with Paula Deen, features entrées, casseroles, appetizers, and desserts. Paula celebrates true Southern hospitality with 150 recipes, including 30 all-new dishes.

Our Director of Editorial Operations Brooke Bell released Cast-Iron Baking: Scratch Recipes for Your Favorite Skillet last month, and boy, there are many recipes I’d like to try! Cast-Iron Baking is the ultimate guide to baking through the bounty of each season, so you can enjoy delicious savory and sweet recipes year-round!

And if cooking isn’t for you, we have plenty of other magazines to suit your fancy! The Cottage Journal published their Holiday Home Special Issue earlier this month and one of their books, French Style with Vintage Finds, is fascinating!

There are so many good publications in our store, I couldn’t possibly list them all. Just browse our collections and you’ll see!
