How do our book subscription gifts work?
How do our book subscription gifts work?
When you purchase a gift subscription, you’ll choose how you’d like it to start:
Deliver to the recipient – we’ll send them an email link to complete our quick questionnaire so their very first box is perfectly tailored.
Deliver to me first – you’ll fill out the questionnaire on their behalf, and we’ll send the first box to your address so you can wrap and gift it in person. After that, the recipient will be invited to personalise their own boxes.
What books do you choose?
What books do you choose?
Every month, the recipient will unwrap a brand-new, carefully chosen book — selected to match their personal tastes and reading style. Our team of experts goes beyond the obvious picks to find stories that surprise, delight, and resonate.
- Never second-hand or flimsy printings.
- Whether they love sweeping epics, gothic chills, or witty contemporary voices, we’ll match their style.
- Books that spark joy, challenge, or transport them - not ones that gather dust on a shelf.
If they share their Goodreads or past reads with us, we’ll also make sure to avoid duplicates.

FAQS

What is the Book Box?
The Book Box is a book subscription box that puts the books first! We don't jam pack your box with wasteful nicknacks, instead we spend the time and effort finding the right book for you.
After you make a purchase we ask a couple of questions about your reading preferences (this only takes five minutes) and then we handle the rest from there!
Each book subscription box is filled with handpicked books specifically ordered for every customer.
TLDR: We find books you will love, and send them to your door!
What if I have already read the book(s)?
This is a fair question, and one expected to be asked. Don't worry, we have thought about this!
Firstly to avoid filling your book subscription box with books you've already read, we will look at your Goodreads (or other reading app) and cross reference our picks with this!
If you don't have a reading app, you can send us a picture of your bookshelf and we can use that instead.
In the unlikely event that we do send you a book you have already read, don't worry! Free returns are available!
How do you find the right books?
This one is simple, we just ask a couple of questions about your reading preferences - which help us to get to know a bit more about the books you love!
After checkout, please make sure to complete our questionnaire (click this link) so we can find the perfect book for you!
