Can I send a gift message?

You can include a complimentary gift message with any subscription you purchase from the DC Thomson Shop. This message will be delivered to the recipient inside a gift card.

Delivery for gift cards will take approximately 7-10 working days to a UK address, and 14-21 working days to an international address, these will be sent separately from the first subscription magazine.

If you are ordering online, you will be able to add an optional gift message during the checkout process so long as you have selected "I'm buying for someone else". 

If you are ordering a subscription over the phone, you can request a gift card with your subscription order once the order has been placed. 

If ordering online you will only be able to request a physical gift card with purchases made through the DC Thomson Shop. If you have made a subscription order through the Beano or Puzzler websites, you can find our range of downloadable gift cards here. 

Gift cards are currently only available with subscription orders.
