Are you the sort of reader who loves a surprise book? How about a curated collection of delightful, themed trinkets to go with that book? And maybe some coffee, tea or cocoa? I am definitely that sort of reader.
What if I told you that there is an amazing Etsy store that offers the absolute best Blind Date With a Book boxes I’ve ever encountered?
It’s Inglenook Book Shop, and I’m absolutely in love. I first encountered the store on BookTok, where it frequently posts, and where Blind Date With a Book boxes are absolutely everywhere. But Inglenook stood out. Its boxes are stuffed with delightful little items like jewelry, bookmarks, bows, feathers, art, decor, and, of course, well-chosen books from a variety of genres.
And then there are the tiaras. Oh, the tiaras! Depending on the theme of the box, the tiaras are dark or light or magical looking, but wow, are they enchanting! Here’s the lovely and extremely talented author Shveta Thakrar* modeling the tiara she received as the winner of the Inglenook Dark Academia box we gave away at our October Fairy Godparents Club Celebration. Here she is:
Not only are the offerings at Inglenook fantastic, the people who run it are terrific. They very generously worked with me on the Dark Academia box giveaway, and I’m so appreciative. (Thank you, Elizabeth!)
Inglenook Book Shop offers a variety of boxes, and their inventory is constantly changing, so no items are guaranteed, but judging by the quality of the boxes I’ve seen, you’ll do well no matter when and what you buy from them. It’s not just about tiaras, fantastic as they are. Currently, there is a Dark Academia box, a Light Academia Box, and a Fairy Tale box (be still my heart). All three not only come with glorious objects to love, they have TWO books in them! There are some other intriguing items on offer as well (like vintage aesthetic boxes!), so hurry over to Inglenook Book Shop for your holiday shopping today.
*If you’ve never read Shveta’s work, then go find it! She is the author of the mesmerizing book Star Daughter, which I’m currently loving. Plus, she has a new book coming in March, called Divining the Leaves—can’t wait! Learn all about Shveta and her writing here. You won’t be sorry.
