Can I buy a gift box?
Yes - our boxes make great gifts! When finalizing the purchase, just enter the delivery address, such as the address of the recipient of the desired gift. If you can't decide which box they would like, you can always buy a gift card so they can choose for themselves!
I already have one of the books in my box, what should I do?
This has not happened very often, please note that if the duplicate book received is not provided by us in one of our boxes, we will not be able to replace or exchange it as this defeats the purpose of a surprise box. At this point, it's absolutely impossible for us to know which books you've already read.
