Can anyone recommend to me bookshop that will giftwrap books for delivery? I normally use Amazon for family gifts but I trying to avoid them.

I used this shop last year. Beautifully wrapped books in lovely paper. Amazing service, really helpful.

I know it’s not a bookstore but this shop www.chirpystore.co.uk offers a
gift wrapping and send service if you are wanting any other gifts. I highly recommend them after ordering two items last week.

Definitely recommend the Wallingford book shop; local to us and fab service

I think if you ask your local bookshop if they will giftwrap, they may very well oblige.

It 's an added incentive that they can offer and it just wouldn't make sense to refuse.

I was looking for one and found this www.gwisgobookworm.co.uk/ They say they do gift wrapping but I haven't actually used them. Persephone Books also gift wrap.

mrbsemporium.com

need to check giftwrap though

Thank you everyone, I shall spend some time browsing.

@ladyfelsham my local bookshop only sells French books which is why I was asking. Smile

If you find a nice independent one and phone them up, they may be prepared to do that for you for an extra couple of pounds, even if they don't normally.
There was a nice one in Church Stretton last time we went there.

Daunt?

Whoops! Smile

Just ring the bookshop nearest to the UK person that you're sending the book to-just like Interflora but with books.

Persephone books are offering free gift-wrap, I think.

katy1213 · 25/11/2020 20:19

Also Slightly Foxed, although I think you might have missed the date for free wrapping.

Cheltenham Rare Books offer a gift wrap service - in addition to the standard wrapping they do to protect the book during transit - www.cheltenhamrarebooks.co.uk
