BestieBoxx Book Box Review: A Hidden Gem

AD – PR Sample: I received a box from BestieBoxx for consideration on my blog.

There’s something lovely about receiving a parcel that feels like a present, especially when you have no idea quite what you’re going to find inside.

I’m a little late sharing this particular box. Between a trip to Cornwall and then coming down with the flu, October rather got away from me!

However, I didn’t want to miss sharing this lovely bookish treat from BestieBoox, especially as there were some really thoughtful touches inside.

What Is BestieBoox?

BestieBoox is a book subscription box created by two best friends who share a love of reading.

The idea is to bring together a book and a selection of little treats, with each one having been carefully picked to match both the book and the season, to help you feel like you are really stepping foot inside the book making this a real experience.

I was kindly sent one of their box to take a look at, and I have to say, the presentation was absolutely lovely.

Unboxing The Cozy Autumn Girlie Box BestieBoox

A gift box containing a tea infuser, a bag of Magic Love Potion herbal tea, a bracelet with the beads Bestie and Sarah, and a bar of Pumpkin Spice chocolate, all nestled in orange and yellow shredded paper.

One of the first things that struck me was just how much thought had gone into putting everything together.

Rather than simply placing a book and a few extras inside a box, everything felt carefully chosen and beautifully presented.

The book itself was individually wrapped, which I thought was such a lovely idea. There’s something about unwrapping a book that makes the experience feel a little more exciting, even when you know what you’re getting.

Inside was The Magical Spice Tea Shop by Amy Boyles, which fitted the cosy autumn theme perfectly.

There was also signed artwork to match the book, which I thought was a particularly nice addition. It’s one of those little details that helps bring everything together.

And, of course, there were some treats to enjoy alongside it!

A Few Cosy Extras

A collection of gifts including a bag of floral tea, a tea infuser, a Bestie Box gift package, a pumpkin spice chocolate bar, and a beaded bracelet that reads Bestie Sarah.

Something I particularly loved about this box was how the little extras tied in with both the book and the time of year.

With The Magical Spice Tea Shop as the chosen book, it seemed only right that there was a magical blend of loose-leaf tea to enjoy alongside it. They even included a heart-shaped tea tong for brewing your tea, which I thought was such a cute touch.

Then, keeping with the autumn theme, there was a spiced pumpkin chocolate bar.

I’ve tried both the tea and the chocolate, and they really are the perfect sort of treats for curling up with a book on one of those colder evenings.

I think it’s lovely that the extras have been chosen to complement the story and the season, rather than simply being a collection of unrelated goodies.

It’s these little details that make the box feel so thoughtfully put together.

A Particularly Thoughtful Surprise

A pouch of Magic Love Potion tea, a heart-shaped tea infuser, a copy of the book The Magical Spice Tea Shop with a matching bookmark, a chocolate bar, and a signed illustration of a couple.

Now, I have to mention something that genuinely touched me.

Tucked inside my box was a handmade bracelet personalised with my name!

I wasn’t expecting this at all, and I thought it was such a sweet thing to include.

Apparently, BestieBoox adds a personalised bracelet to everyone’s first box, which I think is a really lovely way to welcome new subscribers.

It’s such a simple idea, but it made the box feel that little bit more personal.

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that leave the biggest impression, and this was definitely one of them.

My Thoughts on BestieBoox

Now, I should mention that I haven’t read The Magical Spice Tea Shop myself.

Unfortunately, due to my keratoconus, I’m no longer able to read physical books, something BestieBoox were aware of when we arranged this review.

The book will be passed on to someone who can enjoy it, but I was still able to appreciate everything else that went into creating the box.

And I think that’s what stood out to me most.

From the beautifully wrapped book and matching signed artwork to the carefully chosen treats and personalised bracelet, there was a real sense that someone had taken the time to make opening this box feel special.

It’s the sort of thing I can imagine being a lovely gift for a book lover, particularly someone who enjoys a little surprise arriving through the post.

While this was their September box, I think it gives a nice idea of the thought that goes into a BestieBoox subscription.

If you would like to try BestieBoox for yourself, subscriptions cost £29.90 and can be subscribed to monthly or every three months. You can also pick up some previous offerings, including signed editions and boxes.

What would be your favourite thing to find inside a book subscription box?
