Nurses I know get medical magazines for free, I know some stores send their shopping ads as a magazine, religious magazines, etc. Not talking about things people would pay for, but more like junk-mail types of magazines for collages

This is piggy backing on the Sports Illustrated question from earlier today, but I also thought about it when I pulled my National Geographic out of the mailbox a few days ago.

I've gotten NatGeo since I was a kid, it's still a great monthly read. 4-5 long form articles every month on everything from the latest in Egyptian anthropology discoveries to climate change to the history of glass. Then a potpurri of still great photography and shorter topics. It's the best.

So, do you subscribe to any print magazines? Which? Why? Isn't getting mail sorta fun?

I miss snail mail! I’m growing tired of consuming everything on screens. I also love getting surprises in my mailbox, but the only fun things I get these days are the rare invitation to a wedding/shower.

I’m also at a crossroads because I don’t want useless junk in my house (so not really into subscription boxes). So I’m thinking maybe a magazine? Are there any good physical magazines anymore? And then what to do when you’re done with it - recycle?

Or maybe a pen pal program? Someone to send letters and cute stationary to? Does something like that exist?

Idk what I’m looking for per se, but I do know that I’d like some cute snail mail every now and then. What do you recommend?
