Rare Birds Gift Guide

Rare Birds Gift Guide

Need a gift for a book lover? We've got you! Choose from book subscription gifts, handmade candles, curated book bundles for adults, Rare Birds merch and so much more. 

Personal Shopping Experience

We're famous for our personalised reading lists, and now you can get your own tailored recommendations on demand with our personal shopping experience. 
After purchase you'll be sent your own private link to a reader questionnaire - you can fill it out yourself, or, if it's a gift, forward it on to someone else.
The reader questionnaire helps us understand your tastes as a reader and what you're looking for.
Once that's done, our team of expert booksellers sit down to create a personalised reading list just for you. When we're done, you'll receive your reading list by email, along with a voucher for £50 pounds to spend online.
