WHEN it comes to gift-giving at Christmas we all want to be the one who gets it right and draws the biggest smile with our present.

We want to come up with the spot-on gift that ticks all the boxes in terms of usefulness, excitement and the promise of hours of entertainment, long after the baubles are packed away and all the festive chocs have been polished off.

We want a Christmas gift that starts giving straight away and will fill the year with ideas for enjoying life to the full.

Watch on to see the perfect Christmas gift that will last all year round...

A subscription to Dorset Magazine is perfect for someone who loves the county, its people, places, history, landscapes and wildlife.

That might be the discerning foodie who loves browsing local markets, food festivals and discovering up-and-coming chefs and restaurants, cafes and pop-ups.

It might be the enthusiastic outdoor type who wants to explore the Wessex landscape on foot, by bike or on horseback. Maybe folding in a great dog-friendly pub for lunch or a Dorset cream tea along the way.

It might be a seaside lover who wants to immerse themselves in the dramatic scenery of Dorset’s world famous Jurassic Coast or explore the miles of golden beaches running from Sandbanks to the county’s eastern edge.

Whether it’s stepping out on the South West Coast Path in walking boots, or bucket and spade fun on the beach with the family followed by a fish and chip supper, Dorset Magazine knows the best ways to enjoy the coast, from Charmouth to Christchurch.
