Gift Guide # : Non-Material and Subscription Gift Ideas

With all the supply chain issues and shipping delays, holiday shopping feels more stressful than ever this year. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate the gifts that keep on giving and actually serve my friends and family. I highly recommend a book subscription box for any readers in your life! It’s also a great thing to ask for, especially if you have any family who notoriously wait until the last minute to shop. Here are some of my favorites!

Libro.fm —Libro.fm has been my FAVORITE audiobook service for the last two years because your monthly fee goes to the independent bookstore of your choice instead of comparably priced competitors. It’s a great way to support a small business in your area or somewhere you vacation even if you can’t shop there regularly. Use code READANDWRIGHT when you sign up!

Steam Box Co —If you have a romance reader in your life, I can’t recommend this woman owned company enough that champions women authors of color. Plus the box also promotes self love and I love that it’s not something the company is shy about.

Literati —I am going to be gifting a member of my family a Literati subscription this year! Many celebrities and authors have monthly book clubs and each month, you receive a book and discussion materials! How cool, right?

The Book Drop—The Book Dop is a great price point depending on the length of subscription you choose to gift. It’s also a great one to choose for genre specific readers. From literary fiction to fantasy romance, thrillers, YA, or someone who likes to mix and match, there’s something for everyone!

Page 1 Books—Page 1 is a fun option for something a little extra special. It’s a service that hand selects your choices each month based on your preferences for 3, 6, or 12 month options.

Call Number —A book subscription service that champions and celebrate Black literature. From new releases, indie published books, non fiction, and YA, this is a fantastic service!
