Most of these boxes are young adult and young adult crossover subscription boxes. They will all usually contain a new release, with some bookish treats to accompany it. I am hoping to try a few of them over the next few months, but for now, here’s a brief summary of each.
Illumicrate is a quarterly Subscription, sending boxes out in Feb, May, Aug and November. They send out YA, UK edition new releases. They don’t tend to have themes each box so you get an eclectic selection of bookish and stationery goodies. This is a great option if yo want a box that sends goodies with the book but don’t want to spend out each month.
Cost:£29.99 every 3 months
Postage: Uk delivery is free
Contents: One, new release and a variety of goodies and book promo items.
Will it fit through my letter box? No
One off option available? No, but you can cancel anytime.
Fairy Loot focuses on YA/YA cross over Fantasy, so if you’re a fan of fantasy this is the box for you! They send newly released, usually hard cover books, and 4-6 items based around a theme. The books are usually hard cover, and they only send out stand alone or 1st in series stories.

Owlcrate is actually based in Canada but I’m mentioning it because it was my first book subscription, and I do LOVE it! They are a YA subscription, sending out a variety of different genres. You will receive a newly released, hard cover book with promo items each month, as well as 3-5 bookish items, based around a theme. This box is a bit pricier as its not based in the UK but I feel its definitely worth the mention.
