According to Magazine Death Pool, two more magazines announced this week that they would be closing their doors for good: [Domino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domino-pendant) and Wish, a Canadian publication.

These glossies are following in the sad footsteps of beloved niche mag Blueprint, which closed in December 2007. The crafty, young, DIY-type women who bought and loved these magazines will now have to make do with the [internet and blogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zines-forever).
