How to order them free by post, step by step
Requesting catalogues is straightforward and completely free. The process takes only a few minutes and there is no obligation to buy anything afterwards.
- Browse the catalink.com listings and pick the titles that suit the gifts being planned.
- Add each chosen catalogue, brochure or newsletter to the request list.
- Enter a UK delivery name and postal address.
- Submit the request and wait for the printed editions to arrive free by post.
- Where a title offers an instant digital edition, it can be viewed straight away while the printed copy is on its way.
Why request the printed editions early
Ordering in good time means the catalogues land before the busiest shopping weeks, giving plenty of room to compare, jot down ideas and set a budget. Printed editions are easy to flick through on the sofa, pass around the household and bookmark with sticky notes, which makes group decisions and shared lists far simpler. Early browsing also helps spread the cost of Christmas across several weeks rather than all at once.
How to choose the right catalogues
The best approach is to think about who is being bought for and what they enjoy. A few well-matched titles usually beat a large pile, though there is no limit on how many can be requested.
- Match titles to recipients, such as toys for children or food and hampers for hosts.
- Consider occasions beyond the main day, including secret-gift exchanges and teacher or colleague presents.
- Mix categories so there is variety across the gift list.
- Request a couple of extra titles for last-minute inspiration.
Digital versus printed editions
Some titles offer an instant digital edition that can be viewed immediately, which is handy for quick ideas or for sharing a link with family. Printed editions, by contrast, are restful to browse, need no screen or battery, and can be kept to hand throughout the season. Many shoppers use both: the digital version for an instant first look and the printed copy for relaxed planning.
Managing what you receive
Because requesting is free and there is no obligation, it is sensible to keep things tidy once the festive season passes. Recycle catalogues that are no longer needed, keep favourites for next year, and only request fresh editions when planning begins again. This keeps the doormat manageable while still enjoying the full range of free titles on offer.
