Dive into the enchanting world of Book Boxes—a delightful subscription service in the realm of literature. This burgeoning trend has taken social media by storm, with bookish enthusiasts eagerly unveiling the treasures within each curated box. In this exploration, we’ll delve into the top 5 book box subscriptions that have captured the imaginations of readers. Additionally, we’ll provide valuable insights into key considerations when embarking on your journey to find the perfect book box subscription.
What are Book Boxes?
Book Boxes are subscription-based boxes. Many book boxes are monthly subscriptions from a bookish company. Most companies have different boxes depending on what it is you are wanting. For example, a book box may come with a fantasy book and different merch that goes with that specific book. The company may even create a special edition box which has higher end merch and a special edition book.
Top 5 Book Box Subscriptions
As I mentioned earlier, I discovered the top 5 book box subscriptions. I wanted to make sure that you as readers are informed. Each of the book boxes listed below offer different types of book boxes and vary in price.
1 Book of the Month
2. Owl Crate
3. Once Upon a Book Club
4. Lilypost
5. The Bookworm Box
Book of the Month
The number 1 book box is Book of the Month. These boxes can offer early releases, that have been vetted. They offer add-ons to their subscription boxes which means there are other items you can add to your box. Book of the Month offers a “skip” option for subscribers, which means if you don’t want a box for a month, you can skip it instead of canceling your subscription.
Owl Crate
Holding the number 2 position is Owl crate. This is a box I have heard good things about and have had followers tell me i should get a box from them. Owl Crate offers two different types of subscription boxes, one for adults and one for children. They have two different monthly plans available. They offer a 3-month and a 6-month plan. Owl Crate also offers signed editions of books, high quality bookish merch and a collectible enamel pin in each of their boxes.
Once Upon a Book Club
Once Upon a Book Club has the most options. They have 4 different book boxes and 4 monthly plans to choose from. They also offer a rewards program. The variety that is offered does come at a price as they are the most expensive subscription on the list. The monthly book boxes range from month-to-month, 3-month, 6 month and 12 months.
Lilypost
Lilypost is a children’s book box subscription, which is vastly different than the others. Unfortunately, Lilypost will not be in the top 5 much longer. It was announced they will be closed as of March 31, 2023.
The Bookworm Box
I found that The Bookworm Box has the least to offer. They advertise that they have autographed books in every box and donate their profits to charity! The only downside I found is that their store is down, and new subscribers cannot place any orders.
Things to Consider when Looking for a Book Box Subscription
Now that you have learned what the top 5 book box subscriptions are, I want to give you some advice when choosing a book box.
- Legit Service
- Good Reviews
- Active Shop
- Ask your Friends
Legit Service
What I mean by legit service is that they are an actual bookish company. Many companies that you search for may not necessarily be a bookish company, so do research. I will always recommend doing research on anything if you are not sure.
Good Reviews
Good reviews are important because it gives you a sense of how the company is, for example if they have a review up about great customer service then that may be a company you want to get a subscription for. But don’t just look at the good reviews, look at the negative ones as well, it’ll give you a sense of some problems other customers may have had.
Active Shop
An active shop is a huge part of looking for a book box subscription. If their shop is not active, how do they expect new subscribers to join? So always make sure that you can access the shop to see what the bookish company offers. Most bookish companies will list their shops on their website so that it’s easier to view.
Ask your Friends
Still not sure what’s the best option? Reach out to your bookish friends for advice. I personally always ask friends for their opinions, mainly because I’m still so new to the bookish world. You can never go wrong with asking a question, just be prepared to hear different answers!
