# Bookish gifts for the reader in your life

Every parcel is packed by me, by hand, in Ireland. No algorithm picks the book — I do, based on what the reader actually likes.

## Blind Date with a Book — from €17.99

A book wrapped in brown paper with three teasing hints on the outside, a handwritten note, a bookmark and a little treat. €17.99 pre-loved, €25.99 brand new. The safest gift for a reader whose shelf you don't know.

## Personalised Book Package — from €19.99

They pick a title from my reviewed shelf, or you tell me about them and I choose. Wrapped, noted and posted. €19.99 pre-loved, €29.99 brand new.

## Monthly book box — €29.99 a month

A luxury hand-picked book and a curated bundle of bookish gifts every month — large notebook sets, mugs, coffee cups, jewellery, candles, socks and more. Cancel any time. Works well as a three-month gift for someone who reads constantly.

## Shipping and timings

## Frequently asked questions

### What's a good bookish gift for someone who has read everything?

A blind date parcel. The hints make it fun even if they've read the book, and I'll swap the pick if you tell me a few titles they own.

### Can you post the gift straight to the recipient?

Yes. Add their address at checkout and leave a note for the card, and I'll write it out by hand.

### Do you ship outside Ireland?

Yes — Northern Ireland, the UK, the EU and the rest of the world. Postage is calculated by zone at checkout.

### How much are your book gifts?

Packages start at €17.99 for pre-loved and €25.99 for a brand-new copy. The monthly book box is €29.99 a month.
