A reader asks:
Quick question … Is there a way to purchase a subscription for a friend as a Christmas gift?
You’re in luck! Tinypass, our e-commerce partner, just released an updated version of our gifting service, in time for Christmas. Now you can schedule the delivery of a gift subscription to the day. Just buy it now and have it automatically emailed to your friend or family member on Christmas Day. You can also add a personalized message to the gift email. Just go here to fill out a quick form for a one-year gift subscription – which, remember, is a one-time purchase that won’t recur next year. The price is just $19.99 – or more if you want to give a little extra to the Dish this year.
And if you’re one of our 35,000 Dishhead free-riders, who still haven’t subscribed, why not give yourselves and us a present? Subscribe [tinypass_offer text=”here”]. One who did last week:
Uncle. I give up. You win. I purchased a subscription. It was never about the money. Twenty bucks for a full year of Dish? Are you kidding me? Worth every penny and then some. I’ll pay the twenty bucks for the same reason that I subscribe to the New York Times. In some way you and your colleagues have become indispensable to my daily routine. And I don’t like being blocked once I’ve filled my quota. And I can’t STAND another fucking window popping up asking me to subscribe.
Stop those pop-ups and get rid of all those house-ads by subscribing [tinypass_offer text=”here”]. We also have a monthly option of $1.99 for those who don’t want to spend twenty bucks upfront. Another new subscriber writes:
After reading this morning, the new posts, the continuing threads (especially about miscarriage and lying about Santa), I realize that I land on the Dish for my daily dose of Sanity. Sane people, having Sane thoughts, having Sane questions and conversations. Daily. I love the Dish so much that I am looking forward to renewing my subscription in February. That’s a new concept for me: looking forward to renewing a subscription. Bless you people. Bless you for what you have managed to create and sustain. The Dish is better than church.
