Christmas is fast approaching, and at The Willoughby Book Club we're excited for the festive season! The Christmas tree is up, the office is decorated, and the Santa hats are firmly on our heads as the book elves select titles for you and your loved ones!
If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the options out there, we invite you to make yourself a lovely cuppa, have a sit down, take a well-earned breath, and explore some of the gorgeous gifts available from the Willoughby Book Club during the yuletide season.
Natural History Book Subscription
Book Nooks
If you're not familiar with book nooks, they are gorgeous miniature worlds that can be tucked into a bookshelf, to surprise and delight you for years to come.
These book nook kits contain everything needed to craft your very own nook, and make the perfect gift for patient crafters over the age of twelve.
Colouring Place Mats
We absolutely love these washable colouring mats. They're a brilliant present idea for a child on-the-go!
Each mat comes in its own tote bag, along with a set of fabric markers, making it a completely portable and practical activity for any budding artist. Just pop the mat in the machine to wash and you're ready to go again with a brand new design!
Choose from Dinosaurs, Cars Trucks & Tractors, Garden Grow & Eat, Butterfly, Fairytale & Legends, Peter Rabbit & Friends and Jemima Puddle Duck
Book Lights
If your gift recipient already has a towering heap of books to read and may be overwhelmed by another addition, opt for one of these original and stylish Book Lights. They make a beautiful focal point for a shelf or coffee table, and emit a cosy, warm light- perfect for winter reading.
The lights are fully rechargeable with long battery life, are available in two different sizes and several different finishes, and can be tucked away into your bookcase when you're not using them.
Wellbeing Subscription
What better way to remind your loved one to take a little time for rest and relaxation, than a carefully chosen book arriving to their door each month?
We'll send a selection of titles as a reminder to prioritise their own wellbeing and to press pause for a while. What's more, every month they'll be reminded of you and your thoughtfulness!
Non-Fiction Subscription
There's always one friend or member of the family who aces the Christmas quiz or pub quiz! Keep their knowledge in tip-top form with a non-fiction book subscription. Perfect for the wide-ranging reader with broad interests, it'll keep their minds fresh and their quiz score high.
'Well Read Woman' Tote Bag
This lovely sturdy tote bag makes the perfect bag for the well-read woman in your life! Extra strong with both long and short straps, it would be perfect for their latest book haul.
Mum and baby book subscription
The perfect Christmas gift for a new mum! The subscription includes a book specially chosen for mum and a book for baby, because we believe it's never too early to discover a love of books!
New mums deserve a reminder that they need a rest, and sometimes they need reminding of worlds beyond that of milk and nappies, too. This is a gift to encourage them to rest, relax, and enjoy some downtime with their little one. It's also the perfect way to say that you love and cherish both them and the new baby!
Children's Book Subscription
It's a wonderful thing when a child wants to read, but it can be hard navigating the world of children's books if you're not familiar with it. Let us take the stress out of choosing books with a surprise title selected and posted to them each month. Now all you need to do is sit back, relax, and let the magic of books and reading do their work!
Gift Tins
So, you know they love reading, but you're not sure exactly what they like?
The gift tin is here to solve the problem!
Each gift tin contains everything the recipient needs to set up their own subscription in their own time, and give us details about the books and authors they enjoy reading. If you're feeling extra generous, you can pop in an extra treat of a bar of Love Cocoa chocolate too.
As with all our subscriptions, we'll donate a book to Book Aid International on their behalf, too.
Personalised mug
