I literally LOVE my subscription to the Sustainable Book Club. I bought it for myself as a present at Christmas, and I almost forget that I have subscribed each month and then my package arrives in the post and I am always so excited to get it. The snacks and drink options included are a really fun way to try new things (and I have totally found some new favorites which I never would have tried on my own) and I always am excited to open the book and see what I've been sent. In a time when there is so little to be happy about, the SBC is the light in my life that I need right now and I love them. Thank you xxx

I love this product

I love this product, I bought this for a friend who missed the theatre, like we all do. The box is so beautiful wrapped and the suff inside was amazing for her to open but also for me to see being unwrapped. Such a lovely idea, would buy again for presents.

I bought fiction and play subscriptions as Christmas gifts and the recipients tell me they love getting a surprise monthly parcel "packed with lovely teas and other treats... It's such a thoughtful concept as everything contributes go a cozy afternoon's reading session. And the fact that's in such a great cause adds to the enjoyment. I'm telling everyone I know about it." Perfect for lockdown and beyond.

Something lovely in the post..

I was lucky enough to be sent a gift parcel last year and was so thrilled to receive something through the post that I have used the Sustainable Book Club again and I know that the recipients were equally happy with such thoughtful and beautifully put together packages.

Wonderful service

Sustainable book club is a fantastic service which, especially during current times offers a surprise piece of literature with an edible treat and drink with other useful surprises included also. The packages are flexible and you can write exactly what kind of book/play you'd like for yourself or a friend. Service is always fast in my experience, and communiation is friendly and considerate. Couldn't recommend this service enough for anyone who likes an indulgent tea break or books or both at the same time in my experience.

A brilliant gift idea

This is a brilliant gift, friends and family I have ordered for in the past love them. You can really see the love and attention to detail in every box. Also lovely to be able to personalise so the person gets the kind of book that they'd enjoy. Highly highly recommend!

Fab, eco friendly, indie book business!

I received two different packages from this company: one for myself and one as a present for my dad, and they were both great. Every parcel is unique and it's lovely to own a vintage, pre-loved item which comes with it's own quirks.

This is a great option for book lovers, as there is so much variety and history, and a brilliant way to support an eco friendly indie business. The treats are a tasty addition too!

Thumbs up all round. Yay.

The Original Sustainable Book Box

I bought the Original Sustainable Book Box as a Christmas present and my daughter was delighted with her gift. She enjoyed the 'surprise' book and the gifts that accompanied it and really enjoyed indulging herself as she read the book in the "days in between."
I enjoyed the surprise as much as she did and was pleased that my comments about what kind of book she might like to read were followed.
It also felt good to be supporting a new business in such difficult times.

A wonderful experience from start to finish ! Thoughtful and considerate communication and the quality of the box and contents far exceeded my expectations - everything chosen with such care and perception. I love the sustainable, recycled, reusable nature of everything in it as well. I loved my box so much I've bought more as presents for friends and they've all been much appreciated !
