What is Blind Date with a Book?

Experience the charm of a blind date with a book where preconceptions are set aside, and the magic of discovery takes center stage! All you need to do is pick the genre and we'll thoughtfully handpick a book for you, keeping its title and author a delightful mystery until you unwrap it. Our surprise books are beautifully wrapped in eco-friendly brown paper and adorned with enchanting eclectic, cottage core and dark academia style stickers and stamps.

Can I choose a specific book?

No, the fun of Blind Date with a Book is the element of surprise. You won't know the exact title or author until you unwrap the book. However, you can select the genre that interests you, and we'll match you with a book from that category. Alternatively, you have the option to leave it as a delightful surprise and allow us to choose the genre for you.

How do I know I will get a “good” book?

Rest assured that we prioritize quality when selecting books for our collection. To ensure a "good" book, we rely on Goodreads ratings as our guiding criteria. We handpick books that have received a rating of 3.5/5 or higher on Goodreads, accompanied by a substantial number of reviews from fellow readers. This ensures that you receive a book that has been well-received by the reading community.

What condition are the books in?

We offer preloved and remainder books. In the case of a preloved book, you can expect it to be gently used, with minimal wear and tear but no significant damage or missing pages. Remainder books are copies of brand new titles that have a small mark or dot on the edge. These books are typically surplus or excess stock from publishers. While they may exhibit minor shelf wear, they are generally in excellent condition. Every book in our collection is meticulously handpicked to guarantee its overall excellent condition.

Will I receive a book that is in the middle of a series?

It is possible that you will receive a book that is part of a series, however, we will only ever send the first book in a series.

Can I return or exchange the book if I don't like it?

Blind Date with a Book purchases are final and non-refundable. We believe in embracing the surprise and unpredictability of the reading experience. However, if you encounter any issues with the condition or quality of the book, please reach out to us, and we'll be happy to assist you.

How can I avoid getting a book I've already read?

While we strive to offer a wide variety of titles, there is a chance you may receive a book you've read before. However, at checkout we provide a personalization section where you can leave a note about your order, ensuring it meets your preferences. After selecting your desired book genre, you can inform us of any authors or titles you would prefer us to avoid sending. Additionally, if you have any triggers or sensitive topics that you'd like us to be aware of, kindly let us know, and we'll take them into consideration when selecting your book. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we strive to accommodate your preferences as best we can to create a tailored reading experience.

Is Blind Date with a Book suitable for gifts?

Definitely! Blind Date with a Book makes for a unique and memorable gift. You can surprise your loved ones with an intriguing book selection, allowing them to embark on their own literary adventure. We’re also happy to include a gift note! Just use the personalization section when checking out to leave your gift note.

Highlights

Made by UnexpectedBookshelf

Scoop up a little magic!

Our Bookish Mystery Scoops are filled with charming stationery, reader accessories, and cozy little treasures designed for book lovers, journal enthusiasts, and aesthetic dreamers.

Each scoop is made to order and randomly selected, so no two scoops are ever the same. Whether you're shopping for a gift or treating yourself, every package is a delightful surprise waiting to be unwrapped!

🎀Your bookish scoop may include items such as:

Keychains, Pencil Bags, Small Notebooks, Pens & Highlighters, Sticky Notes, Journals, Sticker Packs, Bookmarks, Scrunchies, Bracelets, Thumb Page Holders, Headbands, Hand Lotion, Candles, Coin Pouches, Coloring Books, Enamel Pins, Coasters, Straw Covers, Book Review Pads, Stamps and Ink Pads, Diamond Art, Index Tabs, Markers, Book Lights, and many other fun surprises!

🎁PREMIUM ITEM CHARM🎁
Here’s how it works:
For every scoop you purchase, one premium charm is added into the charm bowl before I begin pulling your items. Then I draw your scoop charms at random.

If you pull a premium charm, you unlock a deluxe bookish item such as:
•Imperfect Blind Date With a Books*, Book Sleeves, Larger Journals, Specialty Stationery Sets, Necklaces, Coffee Mugs, Calligraphy Pen Set, Tote Bags, Book Lamps, Cross-Body Bags, Bookends, Limited-Edition Accessories, And More!

*These books are still brand new and unread, but they may have cosmetic imperfections from storage or handling that prevent them from being included in our standard Blind Date With a Book listings.

Each book is still wrapped and decorated just like our regular Blind Date With a Book packages, so you’ll get the same cozy mystery experience when opening it.

The more scoops you buy, the more premium charms are added — which increases your chances of pulling one.

Not every scoop will contain a premium item, but purchasing multiple scoops improves your odds.

Want to guarantee an extra deluxe surprise in your order?

You can add a Premium Item Upgrade when purchasing your scoops.
When you select the premium add-on, your order will include a guaranteed premium bookish item, in addition to the items you receive from your mystery scoops.

📖Premium items are chosen at random, so while you are guaranteed to receive a premium item, the specific item will still be a surprise.
Premium upgrades are guaranteed, while premium charms from the scoop bowl are still randomly pulled — meaning you could receive both!

⚠️Please Note:

• Items are randomly selected — no custom requests
• No returns or exchanges due to the mystery nature
• Colors and styles may vary
• All sales are final

Thank you so much for supporting my small business — I can’t wait for you to experience the fun of Mystery Scoops!
