This is a gem

This is a gem! Everything arrived in a beautiful box sent like a gift. It was a complete package and I was delightfully surprised by the snacks. Especially one of them became my absolute favorite (I may or may not have finished it in one day) and I’m not vegan either but this made me introduce it to my vegan friend and he loved it too.
Love the fact that they support animal shelters and had a little card about it. The book was in a recyclable, cute wrapper and I was happy with the book choice. Also considering the price, it’s a steal!

I’m so pleased with my “treat to myself” subscription from Happily Ever After Book Box.
Any queries have been dealt with quickly and effectively.
The Book boxes have arrived on time, as advertised and the little extras make it really special. My online book group pals are impressed and jealous in equal measures 😊

Excellent products

Just received my third monthly subscription book box. Prompt delivery and great choice of books. Everything is environmentally friendly and they support animal charities too.
Highly recommended.

Lovely company. The boxes are always such a treat when they arrive. I’ve recently bought it as a present too and they also love it

What better way to treat yourself than…

What better way to treat yourself than with a box of goodies, and books and chocolates, and most importantly, coffee. I'd have to say my favorite coffee has to be the Japanese coffee, but yeah, best box ever.

Amazing experience!

I have been subscribed to Happily Ever After for over a year and a half now, although my subscription is now on pause as I seriously need to save money and I have about 30 books I need to read on my shelves. I subscribed as I wanted to expand on my book tastes and read something out of my comfort zone... this has not disappointed!

The books are hit or miss - I chose the "surprise me!" option so not the business' fault, I won't like everything, and if anything it helps me refine my taste after exploring more genres (I now know that mystery/thriller is a big no for me). I even got books that I was interested in getting at the bookshop but decided against... And ended up loving!

I love the chocolate treats included, the herbal teas are great (only a few I disliked, but once again not the business' fault for not knowing my taste!), the pamper items, although quite small, last super long. The donations to animal charities make it even better, and I ended up collecting a bunch of leaflets with animals and their names on it as I can't resist their cuteness!

Overall, this is an amazing value for money, even more so since it supports a small business.

Customer support is also top notch - I asked if I could reduce the rate of my subscription (from every month to every other month) and they happily obliged, I am over the moon as I was getting more books than I could read and I now enjoy them even more so!

I definitely recommend Happily Ever After, it does not disappoint!

First subscription box

I received my first subscription box within days of ordering. It was a book I'd previously read (but it was a really good one, so I did what I don't normally do and read it again!) Really liked the message on the book mark and the self-care and Vegan treat. I'm not a Vegan but I'm keen to explore alternative treats. Love how each purchase contributes to charities and how this information is included in the box. I'm interested to see what the next box includes. A really happy purchase. Thank you.

Great value

I get the pamper box. Honestly nothing bad to say. I get books I usually wouldn't usually get for myself (which was the reason I get the box) I've found a couple less known authors that I really enjoyed and will be reading more of their work. Any issues (very minor) are resolved quickly, some of the fastest response times out of any customer service I've contacted. The beauty products are interesting, feels like a treat to use something new.
Definitely good value for money.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, I am really happy to hear you have been enjoying your subscription! :)

Bad book, ruined by rain.

First of all, unfortunately the delivery driver left my box outside in the rain and everything was soaked (Not the businesses fault).
Secondly, the book.. awful. A terrible cheap book that you would get free with a magazine.
However, the other bits that came with the book were lovely. Tea bags were very yummy, I enjoyed the chocolate and the eye mask which luckily were wrapped up and didn't get ruined in the rain. But unfortunately the bookmark was ruined (looked cute though)

Hi Amy, I am really sorry to hear about your box being left like this. We pay extra for our boxes to be delivered fully tracked by Royal Mail and they shouldn't be left in the rain like this - they should only be left unattended like this if a Safeplace has been chosen. If you'd like to get in touch with us about this we will investigate this further and issue a replacement box.
Regarding the book you received - I am sorry you weren't happy with the choice of book. We ensure that all of our books are highly reviewed books on Good Reads - they might not always have a pretty cover (I can only assume this is what your comment meant as you haven't included the title of the book so I am not sure which book this is referring to) but they are always highly rated books. Our boxes are always surprise books with the idea of picking up a new book you may not have normally tried yourself, and stepping out of your book comfort zone a little - but we do ensure they are good reads for you first! However if you are not happy with this we are always more than happy to swap unread books.
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your box, being a small family business we do take all feedback on board and would love to be given an opportunity to put this right for you.
Please do get in touch with us via email if you'd like us to look in to anything further for you and we'd be more than happy to help,
Many thanks
April

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, quick delivery and after you have given them your genre in book choices, the books they send are spot on what I would read! Excellent company who I am definitely keeping my subscription with!

Birthday present

Got as a birthday gift for my mum. She absolutely loved the books chosen and the birthday bookmark included. The 3 books all related to the genres chosen. The books come via royal mail making it easy. The ability to buy a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription makes it a really good birthday present.

Simply brilliant

I purchased a three-month book and gift subscription for a friend. The books arrive on time and she's been delighted with them. This is a great idea for a present for a book-loving friend.
I ordered a bargain box for £10. I was pleasantly surprised how much was in the box. There was a problem with the delivery (entirely due to Royal Mail, not Happily Ever After). The company immediately rectified the issue and did more than I was seeking.
Happily Ever After is a great small business. I'd highly recommend them

Nice box idea

I received a 'The Book and Pamper Box' and chose the General Fiction option. The book I got wasn't a writer I knew but it was a great read and was newly released, so I was impressed by that. The coffee bags were okay (I'd had these before), and the vegan chocolate was exciting as I hadn't seen the brand or had it before. I also love that the company support an Animal Charity regularly and are vegan. However, I didn't use the vegan nail oil and wasn't even sure how! I would have preferred something recyclable as I couldn't even give it away... or something more useful, maybe another coffee bag instead? I'm sure I chose the pay monthly option, but I was emailed a month later to say my next box was on the way! Luckily I could cancel it. This box would be a great idea for a student living away from home (if they could afford it of course!) It would be great if the hot drink selection also included hot chocolate :)
