Any dedicated UK bookworm will tell you that the most well-known book subscriptions hail from the US. However, we have spent the past few weeks looking for the best UK book boxes, we have even tried some for ourselves!
1
The Book Fairy Box
By The Book FairiesI have tried this bi-monthly box a few times and it is probably my favourite so far. It includes at least one book and a whole host of book goodies but also a few special things. There are normally a few things you need to be a book fairy yourself (if you don't know what a book fairy is take a look at their website.) Additionally, book fairies are dedicated to being environmentally friendly and there is usually something along these lines in the box.
The shop is worth checking out too as they do bundles from past boxes at around £10 and also individual items are for sale as well as the book fairy stickers.
O and don't forget to check out their special mothers day box!
