Mother's Day is nearly here. We can help.

If you’re wondering about a unique gift to give this Mother’s Day (which is on Sunday, people!!) then may we make a couple of suggestions for things which are super-convenient for you but will win you all the points?

Here’s a tip: books last longer than flowers. And chocolate.

Our subscription service is, as the saying goes, the gift that keeps on giving. Every month we’ll send a beautifully gift-wrapped book to your mom in the mail. We choose the title based on an online survey that she’ll complete. You choose whether it’s hardcover or paperback, and how many months you want the gift to last. We ship anywhere in the US. It’s awesome. People love it. More details here.

Our reading spa is perhaps the ultimate luxury gift for the book-lover in your life. Recipients get to spend a delicious hour or two at the shop. One of our team of booksellers will learn all about their favorite reads by having an informal chat over coffee or tea and a doughnut (or possibly cake), and will then suggest a range of possible titles to choose from. Every spa comes with $100 to spend books. In other words: totally guilt-free shopping. More details here.

Alternatively, just come in and talk to us, tell us what your mother likes to read, and we’ll recommend a wonderful book for her. We’ll even gift wrap it for you, at no extra cost. It’s all part of the service.
