Children's book gift subscription with e-voucher only

Keep things simple with a digital gift card - a fantastic last-minute gift for kids

Keep the kids buzzing about books all year round with a monthly book subscription for 5 to 14-year-olds. It's an ideal gift and our e-voucher makes it easy – simply forward or print and the recipient can take charge of their own reading adventure!

As members of Parrot Street Book Club kids will receive a parcel every month containing a chapter book to keep and an activity pack designed specifically to accompany it.

The books are carefully chosen to introduce subscribers to titles we don’t think they will have easily discovered on their own – no classics, bestsellers or celebrity authors – and we ensure an exciting mix of styles and genres throughout the year.

More about our club...

Just like a real book club, all subscribers in our Parakeet and Cockatoo reading groups get the same book each month so they're constantly trying something different, discovering new favourites and growing as readers. Those in our Macaw group will be offered a choice between two books each month, giving them more independence to plot their own reading adventure.

The activities accompanying each book include book club-style questions to ponder, facts, jokes, puzzles, craft and cooking projects. They add to the fun and excitement each month but also, subtly, encourage our subscribers to think a bit more deeply about what they’ve read.

For one child or two?

A shared subscription works fantastically when the two children are able to enjoy the same books, whether reading independently or listening to them being read aloud. Every parcel will be addressed to them both and they will receive two of everything except the book itself which can be shared.

However, if the siblings will want to enjoy different books they will each need a separate subscription.

For guidance, we say that our Parakeets are roughly 5 to 8, Cockatoos 8 to 12 and Macaws 12 to 14 years old.  

How it works

1. Make your purchase

• Choose between a 3, 6 or 12-month gift subscription and whether you’d like it to be for one child or two.
• Select which region of the world we will be sending the box to each month. 

2. Share the voucher

• An e-voucher will be sent to the email address given at checkout. This contains a unique code which can be redeemed to set up the subscription.
• It’s simplest to then forward the e-voucher to the child’s parent/guardian.
  
• If you would like something to hand over in person, you may prefer to opt for one of our gift vouchers instead.

3. The child's parent/guardian sets up the subscription

• The recipient's parent or guardian will need to redeem the e-voucher, set up a subscription account and give us delivery and reading level information.
• Within a few days of setting up the subscription a welcome pack will be sent out addressed to the child containing bookish goodies and an introductory note.
• Their first book and activity pack will then arrive midway through the month after the subscription is activated.
• Each monthly parcel contains a chapter book and A5 activity pack. They are wrapped in a cardboard book wrap and should fit through most standard letterboxes.
