This Food Enthusiasts Book Box or Gift Bundle is a great custom feel-good reading gift for any foodie in your life (on their birthday, any holiday, or just because)! Each curated assortment includes a book (or several books!) of your choice featuring delicious culinary adventures that your giftee will gobble up whole (or straight up cookbooks with recipes and stories about cooking from esteemed chefs and beyond!) and can be paired with an *optional* assortment of themed reading pairings of your choice from our favorite small business brands.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Pick your packaging* from the dropdown menu above, then select a book (or several books)** and choose which pairing(s) you'd like us to include by clicking on the checkbox(es) above. Once we receive your selections, we will thoughtfully select your chosen reading pairings from our current assortment of products that are in-stock at our Booktiques to ensure your items match the gift's theme. The products we choose may or may not be the same items that are pictured in the photo above, so...
If you would like us to include any particular bookish goodies (like a favorite scent, flavor, quote, etc.) that you've seen in our Booktiques or online, just ask! If we've got the items in stock, we can absolutely add them to your bundle (and send you a custom invoice for anything that is not included in our checkbox list above).

NOTE: We're open to any and all special custom requests (including requests for other books that are not listed with our titles above)! Please let us know how we can further customize your gifts in the order notes at checkout...
*PACKAGING:
GIFT BOX (MEDIUM) - Select this option if you're ordering 1 book with 1-2 pairings and are picking up in-store or shipping.

CHAMPAGNE BUCKET - Select this option if you're ordering 1-2 books with 1-5 pairings and are picking up in-store.

NOTE: If you're still not sure which packaging option to choose, it's okay to guess!
