Archie Giant Series Magazine #593

In "A Stitch for Time!", Betty’s thoughtful gift of an embroidered handkerchief sparks a quiet moment of reflection for Veronica, who tries—and fails—her hand at the same craft. When Mrs. Lodge notices her daughter’s effort, she realizes how much time she’s been missing with Veronica, and makes a heartfelt promise to change.

When Archie sets his sights on a coveted fishing rod and reel, Betty and Veronica each secretly buy one for him—only to discover he’s already bought one for himself. The resulting mix-up has the sales clerk beaming at the unexpected surge in business.

Betty wins a mysterious locked trunk at an auction, only to discover it’s filled with nothing but junk—until a locksmith shows up and offers her $1,500 for it. Archie and Jughead are left wondering if the real gift was the surprise, not the trunk.
