You will receive your box the first week of the following month. If you sign up on 25th October for example, you will receive your first box during the first week in November if you live in Ireland and during the second/third week of November for the rest of the world.
Of course you can, simply follow the instructions below.
1. Choose "This is a gift" in the checkout. Please give the recipients delivery address in the checkout.
2. Choose the length of the subscription. You have the option of 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscriptions or until you cancel.
3. Choose the start date of the subscription. Your card will be charged on the start date and the box will be delivered the following month. For example, If you would like your gift box to begin arriving in early March please choose any date in February. The cut off is the last day of the month, ie-the last day of February in the example above.
4. If you would like a card included in the first box please fill in the message for the card in the gift message box. This will appear at the final stage of the checkout.
The main difference is that a gift box is a one time purchase, whereas the subscription box is an ongoing subscription. A gift box will be shipped with 1-2 working days. Subscription boxes ship the 1st of every month. If the 1st of the month is on a Saturday or bank holiday, they will ship on the next working day.
The advance subscriptions start at the beginning of the following month that the subscription was purchased.
For example if someone gifted you a 6 month subscription and that was purchased in December, the subscription will automatically start in January and will run until June.
You or the purchaser can request a different start date/pause/delay the subscription at any time. Simply email us @thebookresortie@gmail.com or call us on 083 1329794 or dm us on Insta and we can do that for you.
You are billed each month on the same day that you signed up. If you sign up on the 15th September, you will be charged on the 15th September and you will receive your first box during the first week of October if the box is being shipped to Ireland.
You will be billed again on the 15th October and will receive that box during the first week of November and so on.
Our European and international customers should expect their box to arrive in the first two weeks of the month.
The last day of each month is the final day for signing up, ie the 30th or 31st of the month before.

Of course. We are very serious in our quest for global domination.
