Meet your next favorite read, wrapped in a little extra magic!

This is our classic Bookshop Besties version of Blind Date with a Book- though the concept has existed for quite some time, we put our own special twist on it!

This is a thoughtfully curated bookish experience designed for readers who love surprise, aesthetics, and cozy rituals. Each set includes a brand-new book in your chosen genre, beautifully hand-wrapped by us and paired with carefully selected goodies to match its vibe. We always do our best to color-coordinate as well as match the accoutrements with the genre you select, and if you have any special requests, feel free to send us an email so we can really customize it for you or the person you are gifting it to!

💌 What’s Inside?

Each Deluxe Edition includes:

  • 📖 One brand-new book from your selected genre

  • ✨ 2 stickers

  • 🔖 2 bookmarks + 1 gold foil-stamped keepsake mini bookmark (our signature shop card)

  • 🖍️ Annotation tabs

  • ☕ Tea bag (organic, of course- only the best for you!)

  • 🖊️ Highlighter or pen

  • 📓 Mini notebook

Every book is:

  • Hand-wrapped by us in colored kraft paper

  • Decorated to match the book’s genre and aesthetic

  • Finished with a hand-stamped wax seal

  • Designed to feel personal, immersive, and gift-worthy

(Note: Items are wrapped, not boxed, and shipped securely in protective packaging.)

No two Blind Dates are ever exactly the same. We thoughtfully match colors, themes, and details to create a cohesive, beautiful, and unique surprise every time!

  • We do not accept returns based on book preference or duplicates

  • If you have specific dislikes or concerns, feel free to email us after placing your order and we’ll always do our best to accommodate!

FAQ's

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because we are a small independent bookstore, we can only offer returns or exchanges on unopened, unused items within 14 days of purchase. Books must be in new condition, and Blind Date With a Book purchases are final (to keep the surprise intact!). If you ever have an issue or concern with an order, just reach out, we’re always happy to help.

How long will my order take to ship?

We have a very small team, so orders are typically processed and shipped within 5-7 business days. You’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as your package is on the way. If it's a rush, just email us to let us know and we will prioritize your order!

Local? You can select in-store pickup at Spare Time Books during checkout and grab your order the same day we process it!

Can I use a Bookshop Besties e-gift card in-store and online?

Yes! Our e-gift cards work both on our website and in-store at Spare Time Books. Just enter the gift card code at checkout (online) or show the email at the register (in person).
