Welcome to The Book Box Gift Company

For tweens, teens and young adults.

My Story

I am a qualified primary school teacher, a chartered secondary school librarian and a youth mental health first aider. Having worked with young people from the beginning of their reading journeys and beyond, I founded The Book Box Gift Company with a simple mission: to create memorable gifting experiences that celebrate the love of books and to help support young people and the burgeoning mental health crisis. Each box is thoughtfully designed to delight readers and make every occasion special  - the right book at the right time.

What I Do

Using all my experiences of working with young people with varying attitudes towards reading, I choose each book carefully and with purpose. Quite often it is my intention that parents will be involved reading alongside their child, helping them to understand not just what they are reading, but how it might impact them. In a world where young people are asking AI for advice, we need to ensure that our children are getting high quality and accurate information delivered in a manner that is age appropriate. This can be through fiction or non-fiction, but making reading a desirable experience is key to ensuring we don't lose this vital skill.

I am just at the start of this journey, and no doubt will make many mistakes along the way. Thank you for being part of this with me!
