How to Spend It magazine is a monthly magazine that is usually published with the Financial Times Weekend Edition. The glossy large magazine has won the hearts of many Weekend Edition subscribers, with its high detail on the latest in the glitz and glamour of the high-life. Its articles concern mostly high-quality products (e.g., yachts, mansions, apartments, designs, horlogerie, haute couture, automobiles), as well as fashion advice and columns by important individuals in the arts, gardening, food, and hotel and travel industries. It has regularly themed issues, such as "Travelling Unravelled", "A Passion for Fashion", "Superior Interiors", and its annual "Christmas Unwrapped". How to Spend It has won numerous prizes for being the best newspaper supplement of the year.

Does anybody else read this supplement ? It comes out monthly along with either a Friday or Saturday FT.. I only get weekday-FT so it's always a treat when it's added to the Friday issue.

It's not stocked with editorials like 'regular' fashion mags.. however there's usually one..

My grandparents get the FT so I look at How To Spend It whenever I'm at theirs. The magazine has been really helpful to me over the course of my design and art direction degree. Whatever project I was doing it always seemed to turn up with a really good, in depth article on the same topic e.g. project Red, organic products, ethical fashion (and none of my classmates read the thing so it gave me an advantage!)

Yes, I kept a cover from years ago, it was a super-close shot of a tiger's face (the inside story was about posh safaris), it was such an arresting image.
