For the person who takes all the photos, a prepaid gift in the app that they fill themselves. For your own family or a partner, a Single Issue of the year with up to 45 photos for $39. For the friend group, a Group Issue for up to 10 people. For next year, a Monthly Issue at $33 a month.
A gift can arrive on the day
When you give Lately from the app, you choose the date the invitation and your message reach them. They open it on the day and add their photos afterwards.
A magazine you make takes a little time
If you are making the issue yourself, add the photos and submit early. A designer edits it after you submit, then it is printed and shipped, and Orders shows each step with tracking once the carrier provides it.
What they unwrap
A US Letter magazine, 8.5 by 11 inches, with a matte cover and silk-coated interior pages, edited by a Lately designer. Standard shipping to an eligible US address is included in every listed price; supported international destinations get a live estimate before checkout.
How do Lately gifts work?
Open Gifts in the Lately app, add the recipient and a personal message, and complete checkout. They receive a private redemption link and open it in the app to start the included issue. They choose the photos and delivery address.
Who pays shipping for a gifted issue?
The gift covers the magazine price, including standard shipping to an eligible US address. If the recipient chooses a supported international address, they pay the estimated shipping charge before starting the gifted issue. Additional Group Issue participants purchase their own copies and delivery.
How does international shipping work?
Standard shipping to eligible US addresses is included. Supported international destinations receive a live shipping estimate before checkout. Monthly and Seasonal plans also add international shipping to every renewal, calculated for your saved destination using current rates; the amount may change. Availability depends on the destination and magazine. Customs duties, import taxes, and other local fees are separate and may be due on delivery.
Can I make a magazine with friends or family?
Yes. A Group Issue lets up to ten people contribute to one shared magazine, with 45 photos across the group. The owner invites contributors and completes the final review. Each participant purchases their own printed copy and pays any applicable international shipping.
Can I order extra copies?
Yes. Eligible printed issues offer extra copies, so you can keep one and share others. Before print handoff, copies can be sent to supported delivery addresses. Standard US shipping is included; international shipping is estimated for each destination.
