Are Book Subscriptions Worth It?

The rise of the subscription box seems to know no limit but are they really worth it? Everything from beauty products to dog treats can now be sent to you in monthly instalments, all of which boast that they save you money. Technically this is true but is it really a saving if you weren’t actually planning on buying the contents separately?

Though subscription boxes make a fantastic gift, and allow people to try new things and broaden horizons, we’re going to have to answer the above question with a reluctant no. Many people still don’t like the idea of being tied to a service, and still prefer a single up-front cost to know what they’re getting and when.

There’s good news though, if you’re looking to list a special gift which allows customers to give up to 6 months’ worth of books to a child, we have the perfect solution. No subscription, no tie-ins, just a boxful of books for pre-teens to enjoy.

Each personalised box is packed full of 5 novels, all aimed at boys and girls aged 7-11 years. Depending on their budget, customers are given a choice of what their box contains. If you list our premium option the five books in the box will be published within the last year, meaning the chances the little bookworm has read them before will be slim-to-none. If you choose to list our preloved option customers will receive a box full of mystery titles, making its contents a surprise for both them and the lucky recipient.
