Do you want a gorgeous Sustainable Book Box but wish it could have just that little bit more pizzazz? Well you are WELCOME because, new for the festive season, you can now Pimp! That! Box!
For the price of a gingerbread latte* you can make your box so festive that it won’t know what’s hit it. You’ll get the same Original Box that you know and love but…
- your book will be giftwrapped in delightfully Christmassy - and, of course, recycled and recyclable - wrappings. I even have a limited number of Christmas-themed books if you want to go the whole hog!
- your handmade bookmark will feature some sort of festive quip in a seasonally appropriate colour scheme
- your four hot drinks might include lovely spiced herbal tissanes, Gingerbread Chai from Bird & Blend or Clipper hot chocolate for cosy nights tucked up in blankets.
- your two snacks will be… you guessed it… festive! Think deluxe crisps, chocolate orange, dried fruits, nuts or sugar plums! (There won’t actually be sugar plums I’m afraid. I absolutely do not have the time to start crystallising plums.) You’ll also get a little handful of the most festive of items… chocolate coins.
- your trinket will be festive too! Think spiced candles, spiced soaps, a pretty thing to hang on the tree… basically everything is spiced. I should have called this Spice that Box.
- you’ll also get a handwritten charity Christmas card, which you may personalise to the recipient!
All this and it’s treading lightly on our planet and its resources. Everything you’ll find in the Christmas box follows the same ethics and values as every other Sustainable Book Club box: recyclable, recycled, compostable or from a company that is making moves towards a greener future.
*maybe; I actually don’t know how much those cost. I personally would balk at spending £5 on what is essentially a cup of sugar, but what do I know.
Sending to a couple? Select 'Double Up' under Genre to make this a gift for two!
You'll get two books, double snacks and double trinkets! A perfect Christmas gift for Auntie Pam and Uncle Dave. They'll love it. And they won't have to bicker over who gets the crisps.
The Christmas Original
The books we use are pre-loved and, as a result, some of them can vary in terms of condition. We clean the books we use and only send them out if we deem them to be acceptable to receive. Please note that some of the books may show signs of age (don’t we all), and there is the possibility of some slight foxing or, if you’re really lucky, perhaps some annotations or gift messages in them from their past owners. We think this is part of the joy of second-hand books, but if you are very particular about this then do drop me a note in the box and we’ll make sure to find you something more... shall we say, youthful.
