Blind Date With a Book + Annotation Kit

A Story Chosen Just for You — Your Personal Reading Escape

Looking for the perfect gift for book lovers or a fun way out of your reading slump? Meet your new obsession: the Blind Date With a Book. It’s a surprise book box designed to match your taste, not some dusty thrift shop’s leftovers.

Picture this: you (or your bestie), curled up in your favourite reading nook, the world fading away as you flip through page after page of a story that feels like it was written for you. With your annotation tools in hand — pen, highlighter, sticky tabs — you’re underlining gut-punching quotes, scribbling fierce little thoughts in the margins, and marking every heart-racing, soul-aching moment.

This isn’t just a solo reading session. It’s a full-body exhale. A retreat into a story that sees you.

📚 What makes our mystery book box different?

You send us your Goodreads, StoryGraph, or Amazon wishlist so we can make sure you get a book you haven’t read. No random picks. No weird flops. Just new releases, trending BookTok/Bookstagram reads, and hidden gems — handpicked to match your vibe.

✨ You choose the genre (romance, fantasy, thriller, dark romance, contemporary fiction/drama, horror, mystery, sci-fi, literary fiction).

📚 Tell us the target audience — adult (spicy or closed-door), new adult, or young adult — so we don’t accidentally traumatise your teenage niece or underwhelm your spice-loving soul.

🎁 We send you a book lover’s annotation kit and reading bundle full of serotonin and chaos — perfect for your next solo date night in.

Each book box includes:

📖 1x brand new book – A hyped or trending title (no crusty secondhand copies — only fresh, scream-worthy reads)

🔖 1x quirky bookmark – Because dog-earing pages is a crime against literature

🖊 1x coloured ink pen – For annotating, journaling, or drafting your enemies list

✨ 1x highlighter – You will need them for those gasp-out-loud lines

 📌 5x sticky tabs – For dramatic pointing and shouting “THIS. RIGHT HERE.”

💖 4x bonus stickers – Just because you’re the main character and you deserve it

 🎁 Aesthetic, mood-setting packaging – Ready for your Instagram feed or a gift that makes people jealous

💌 Nothing is pre-packed — every order is hand-curated based on your preferences. Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for a unique bookish gift, this bundle turns every mail day into a main character moment.

🚨 IMPORTANT (or we’ll cry):

To make sure we don’t send you a book you’ve already read, we need your reading history. Seriously — we’re begging.

Send us your Goodreads, StoryGraph, spreadsheet, carrier pigeon, Amazon wishlist — whatever you use to track your TBR. Just drop the link or info into the Order Special Instructions at checkout.

If you don’t? We’ll cry. Loudly. And worse…

😱 You might get a duplicate.

💔 Tragic.

🔥 Preventable.

🍬 Allergies? Preferences? Mild fear of bees?

If you’re allergic to anything (nuts, bees, commitment…), let us know in the Order Special Instructions too.

There may be a mystery treat inside your bundle. We said may. Don’t come for us.

🎯 Choosing Your Target Audience

🔥 Adult – Spicy

For readers 18+ who like their books with some serious heat.

Open-door spice, smut, kink — it’s all on the table. Let us know if you prefer:

🌶 A little sprinkle

🌶🌶 Medium heat

🌶🌶🌶 Full inferno

Mention your spice level in the checkout notes so we can match your taste.

💬 Adult – Not Spicy

No open-door scenes here, but still written for adults. These may explore mature or heavy themes. Perfect if you love emotional depth without the steam.

🎓 New Adult (Ages 18–22) – Spicy

Think college-aged main characters, fresh-adult chaos, and a bit of steam. Great for anyone who loves that early 20s energy — even if you’re not in your early 20s anymore.

🧃 Young Adult (Ages 13–17)

Teen-friendly reads with no spice. Just vibes, emotions, first crushes, identity quests, and swoony drama. Wholesome(ish) fun.

We put our heart and soul into curating your perfect book bundle based on your requests, but sometimes the universe has other plans. While we do our absolute best to match your preferences and needs, we can’t guarantee perfection every time. Thanks for understanding — and for being part of the chaos!
