hard-to-buy-for bookworm in your family? We've got options...
GEt in there early with an advent calendar to die for!
This festive season we’re bringing back our special advent calendar just for apocalyptic & dystopian fiction lovers. No disappointingly small chocolates in crappy plastic trays for you this Christmas!! AND we’ve included an extra special 25th gift as we could never figure out why advent calendars end on Christmas eve.
In our 25 Day Reader’s Advent Calendar you will find:
***25 hand wrapped, numbered gifts presented in a festive gift box with an RRP of over £127***
***8 bookish gifts that all readers will love (including 2 dystopian or apocalyptic novels)***
***8 survival essentials that build into an indispensable survival kit***
***8 grown-up sized, festive edible treats, a mix of sweet & savoury***
***1 fantastic hardback apocalyptic book to open on the big day (so that’s 3 books in this year’s calendar!)***
***A Christmas Scavenger Hunt game for some creative fun and the chance to win prizes***
***Join in with a December read-along of one of the novels in our private member’s group***
***Vegan option available (choose using the drop down menu)***
All your favourite things in one festive parcel!
These are always hugely popular and numbers are strictly limited so get your’s quick before they sell out again. And don’t worry if you had one last year, no items have been repeated, it’s all new goodies.
All 25 Day Reader’s Advent Calendars will be despatched using a 48hr tracked service during the week commencing 17th November.
treat them to one of our Christmas gift-a-box titles
This Christmas, earn some serious brownie points from the bookworm in your life! Send a one-off gift of one of our amazing book box experiences and introduced them to a whole new way to enjoy their favourite genre.
It's not 'just another book' (not that that's a bad thing for our club members!), it's a reading experience like no other that brings the sights, sounds and tastes of the story off the page and in to the real world. Each story gift features a page number sticker to tell the reader the exact point in the story they should open and enjoy it in order to perfectly enhance their reading experience. And every box features bonus content and a skills card, teaching self-sufficiency skills that'll prove handy come the apocalypse.
