Book Subscription:

A great idea and a gift that keeps on giving, is a book subscription. If your Dad is into reading and loves books this is a brilliant gift.

There’s a quant little book shop in Bath called Mr B’s Book Emporium. You can purchase a book subscription straight from the eponymous book shop. You are asked to fill in a questionnaire about preferences, tastes, genres etc. Subscribers receive a new book each month handpicked for them by the in-house “Bibliotherapists” (great job title). This is a wonderful gift for anyone that loves the romance of old-fashioned packages wrapped in brown paper and tied up with string. Mr B’s book subscription packages arrive complete with brown paper, string and stamped with a wax seal.

The package adds a something a little magical to such a thoughtful gift, making you appreciate the book a lot more. This is a fabulous book subscription for anyone looking to support an independent bookshop.
