You all know how much I love my bookish deals and discounts – I scour high and low to make sure I get the best deals on my books, so I thought I would put my bargain-hunting skills to good use and team-up with some amazing Etsy sellers to bring you EXCLUSIVE discount codes to use for bookish gifts and treats this holiday season!
I’ve included the price in pounds, as I’m based in the UK and Etsy conveniently converts the prices for me, but I’ve updated the post to include the locations of the sellers in case this helps. They all ship Internationally, and many of them also have customized options – if you have any questions, just reach out and ask, I can guarantee that they’re all lovely! 🙂

Cara is a self-confessed avid reader whose business idea came to her because of her love of books – “That tender feeling when you finish a story, that unequivocal connection you have to the paper it’s printed on, that ache when you must finally relinquish it to the shelf from whence it came. I wanted a way of keeping the story with me, without having a paperback tucked perpetually beneath my arm.”
Ben McFuzzylugs (Scotland)

They’re all brill in their own way aren’t they? I’ve just had two more stores sign up as well. In what way do you mean the conversion will kill? Working it out, or the exchange rate? R x

Exchange rate, mostly. The Canadian dollar isn’t doing too well.

£10 is working out at roughly $17 Canadian dollars, I don’t know if that’s good or not. I wonder if any of these guys are based in Canada… I should probably include that in the post… R x

Thank you for the time and effort you gave putting this post together. You really did a good job. If it would have been easier for me to buy from these stores, I would totally order. Alas, I’m on the opposite side of the globe and shipping really takes a big piece of my budget pie. But these are just lovely. 🙂

Most of these stores are US or UK based – the shipping from US can be expensive for some of them for me (I’m in the UK) but for some lightweight products it’s not too bad. From what I can tell Etsy does the conversion for you and also figures out shipping when you add an item to your cart – maybe worth considering… Thanks for the feedback though, Camille. I’ve been happy with the response so far 🙂 R x

Same! I get paid soon and will be getting my orders in. I included UK and US stores as my readers are a mix, but the US ones might sting me with shipping… Will see how it works out. I have to have a Splat! They’re so quirky! A gift for yourself for all of your hard work blogging! R x
