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.

Let customers speak for us
from 228 reviewsGreat surprise can’t wait to order another!
Amazing two fab books, owned by an author I love and one that is someone completely new. Excited to read
I absolutely love the blind dates and having had a few now, the books are always great!
Very understanding staff, who responded to my email very quickly, and sent a replacement box to me plus one extra book because Evri did not deliver on time. Will use again.
Extremely happy with the two books this month! Looking forward to reading them and excited to see what's next👀
Amazing choice! Ordered 3 more!
The book box was dispatched promptly and arrived quickly soon afterwards. The curated graphic novels were selected well.
Thank you very much!
The book were great and different I am enjoying being surprised by the books that I have recieved. I recieved a Jane Austin - little woman book and it had a really cute cover. I had seen it in another shop few days before and wanted it then. Was glad to have gotten it in my box.
Two books id never heard of and so far im really enjoying them. Can't wait for future boxes
Really love the 3 books sent to me. Not familiar with any of them so very much looking forward to reading them and getting to know the authors ❤️
Brilliant book, I have the 2nd in the series not sure whether to start as I'm waiting for the 3rd installment and not sure when it's due except 2026 lol.

Amazing choice yet again! I hadn't heard of this book, but it sounds so good! Xx
Excellent
I got the perfect books to suit me and I cannot recommend more highly!
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!
