Thoughtful Gifts for Readers and Book Worms
Updated by Lyndsay Cordell
Here at Cratejoy we love diving our nose into a book. Far off places, hidden worlds, love, anger, longing. Books have the ability to transport eager readers to new destinations with the flip of a page. There are so many different types of books and genres to choose from, making it a great gift to give to readers young or old. But that also comes with a caveat. There are so many different books that it can be overwhelming to pick out the perfect book for your child, friend, or family member. What if they’ve already read the book you’ve picked out or worse, don’t like it at all?
Instead, consider gifting your reader or bookworm a book subscription box. Cratejoy has hundreds of book subscription boxes and gift sets to choose from, each with their own style. From self-care essentials to mystery packages to be opened while reading, a book subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year. Instead of trying to figure out the right book to give, let the experts help and provide best selling books in their favorite genre, cozy candles, tasty chocolate, and all the reading accessories you can think of.
Unique Gifts for Readers that Aren’t Just Novels
And let’s not forget book subscription boxes aren’t just for novel readers. The Read It and Eat Bookish Foodie Box is particularly made for foodie bibliophiles. Each quarter they’ll receive a gently used book, a delicious treat that supports a small business, and a $5 donation to fight hunger in partnership with a local non-profit. Most recently subscribers received Aaron Sanchez’s memoir alongside Mexican chocolate and Sobremesa mole and salsas.
From coloring books and romance novels to blind dates with literary letters and women’s literature focused sets, there is a gift for every reader on Cratejoy.
Using all FIVE SENSES, we bring together self-care with an immersive book box experience✨

I love Authentic Books! You don’t get cheap trinkets in their boxes, unlike a lot of other bookish box subscriptions. These are high quality, full-size items that you will actually use. The book selection has also gotten so much better over
I am disappointed this month. My first book arrived the last of August. It was Persuasion. I was happy to get it. My second book arrived today, the 17th of Sept. Same book! I gave it to a friend this afternoon. I expected a different book.
My sister is so excited for the next two boxes! Perfect Christmas gift.
I love how effortlessly it helps me discover books that match my mood and interests. smart curation, and a cozy, inviting vibe. Highly recommend!
She is so excited to read the book and open the gifts!!!
Good selection of books. But don’t think they will come with any other cute gadgets for kids other than stickers. Pricy handling fee AND shipping fee.
