Sweet Mystery Box

Sweet Mystery Box 🍪📚

A cozy surprise for your bookish soul and your sweet tooth.

The Sweet Mystery Box is one of our favorite gifts for readers because it combines two universally comforting things: a beautifully wrapped surprise book and something delicious to snack on while reading it.

Perfect for birthdays, care packages, long-distance friendships, self-care nights, breakups, celebrations, or simply treating yourself to a little mystery and joy ✨

At the heart of this gift is our Blind Date With a Book – Book Bar Edition, a curated reading experience inspired by our in-store Blind Date Book Bar at You Should Read in San Diego.

Instead of choosing a book by its cover, you’ll select a genre and receive a thoughtfully wrapped surprise read paired with cozy bookish extras and crispy chocolate chip cookies for the ultimate reading night in.

This Gift Box Includes:

📖 Blind Date With a Book – Book Bar Edition
A hand-selected surprise book wrapped with ribbons, clues, and thoughtful little extras to make reading feel magical again.

Each Blind Date includes:
🎀 Fancy ribbon
📚 Reading list bookmark
📝 Reading sticky tabs
📎 Artsy paper clip
✨ Bookish sticker
🍵 Organic tea bag

Choose Your Genre:

• Surprise Me!

🍪 Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies by Maxine’s Heavenly
Crispy, chocolatey, and crafted with wholesome ingredients, these better-for-you cookies are gluten-free, vegan, and made with coconut sugar and oats. The perfect sweet treat to enjoy alongside a new read.

🎁 Signature Gift Box Packaging Included
No additional gift wrapping needed, this bundle arrives beautifully packed and ready to gift.

A Few Important Notes:

• Books are hand-selected and wrapped by our team at You Should Read, choosing only quality reads we genuinely love
• Most books are overstock, shelf pulls, or retailer returns, meaning they are unread and in like-new condition, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections or small remainder marks (such as a dot or line on the edge)
• No excessive damage, writing, or water damage
• Book wrapping colors, ribbons, and patterns will vary based on each selection – we love keeping things fresh, seasonal, and unique
• Photos shown are examples only - each Sweet Mystery Box is thoughtfully customized by hand, so your book selection, wrapping paper, ribbons, and accessories may vary
• Since this is a surprise experience, all sales are final unless an item arrives damaged in transit

Have a Preference?

You’re welcome to leave notes during checkout (in the gift message field, right under your main message for the card) with favorite tropes, themes, spice level preferences, books/authors to avoid, or anything else that helps us personalize your blind date experience.
