Q: Are we able to skip if the months scent is going to be one we could die from? Or is there no hints as to what gets shipped? My allergy is what keeps me from subscribing to almost everything. :( Asked by Cami V., March 2023
Hi Cami,
Box contents are a surprise until they arrive - it's part of the excitement of our box! We don't currently have a way to note allergies on customer accounts, unfortunately. If you want to email us and let us know what the allergy is, we can let you know if it's a scent we use.
Q: Can I gift one box without signing up for a subscription? Asked by Nicole W., June 2022
All products through our Cratejoy listing are for subscriptions. You do have the ability to sign up to gift the box, and immediately cancel. It then cancels the subscription but you still get the first box.
Q: Is there a Premium version available for the Mystery & Thrillers genre box?Asked by Cheryl B., August 2021
No, sorry Cheryl, there is not a premium option for Mystery & Thrillers at this time.
I saw a Mystery & Thriller Premium selection offered just now 4/30/23
Q: This is a gift. If ordered too late to arrive for birthday, do you notify them they will be receiving it? Also if the book has been read ,can it be exchanged?Asked by Vera K., May 2021
Hi Vera!
If you check the box when ordering that it is a gift, you can also include a gift message and that will be emailed to your recipient the day you order so they know it's coming. It also gives your gift recipient an opportunity to contact us about changing their book genre - sometimes people prefer a different book genre than the one chosen for them by the gift giver so we email everyone who is receiving a gift (if we have their email) to ask if they would like to pick a different one.
We have exchanged books for people when they've already read them - we do it on a case by case basis. (We can do it once in a while...
My wife loves books…I thought this would be a great way to get some new titles for her. Unfortunately, when the box showed up (btw it was very quick!) inside was a novel I can only describe as something you’d see in the checkout at the grocery store. And those aren’t always “high quality.” I hate to judge a book but it’s cover…but I did. She did. I’m guessing she won’t read it. Fingers crossed it’s a better title next month. 🤞
I love that this box has a theme, and all the products were very well curated and went well together! I also loved the book I received, and it is very high quality and a pretty recent release as well!
For me, the only let down in the box was the quality of some of the products. I loved the bar of soap and the full sized bath bomb, but the other two products I received were a very tiny bath bomb and a votive candle that seemed like it could have been from the dollar tree. The candle is fine, it smells nice, but it is definitely not handcrafted and it wasn't even wrapped in any kind of packaging.
Overall, I highly recommend this box! It is a great value and fun to unbox! The books are great, even if the bath products are kind of hit or miss when it comes to quality. Overall, I received a great book and two super nice bath products, plus some other stuff, which I think is a great deal for the price I paid!
I love this service and it’s always a nice little surprise after a long day to get home to see you have new books and bubble box!
This is my first box that I received (as a birthday present). I love all the items (the products smell so nice) and I cannot wait to finish the book I'm reading now so I can read these ones!!
I'm looking forward to purchasing future boxes 🙂
This was a great box. I loved the bath bombs and the book looked cute.
Love love love it!!!! Best box I have received!!
I loved the content of the box, I am excited to read the book and try out the bath supplies! I am not sure what happened during shipping, as per the photos, a few items came broken and/or open in the box, with the box itself being bent. I am going to try another month and see how it works out, but I am not happy with the shipping of the box; it seems as though it wasn’t handled properly. I would suggest putting a warning on the box that says “fragile, handle with care” if at all possible. Overall, I am pleased with the content in the box, but not pleased at the shipping and handling of the box.
Hi Amy,
Thank you for your feedback! Shipping is always a struggle. We've responded to your email earlier today and offered to replace your damaged items - I don't see a picture so please reply back to the email with which item(s) were damaged. Unfortunately, even the best wrapped items are sometimes damaged during shipping and we've found placing a "fragile" sticker on the boxes does not mean the delivery services take any extra care with the packages during the shipping process. They are loaded and unloaded from multiple vehicles, sometimes travel by airplane, move across conveyor belts, and are dropped into bigger boxes for sorting by zipcode- even when marked fragile. We replace an average of 3 boxes per month due to shipping...
Bubbles and Books was exactly what I had hoped for. Great as a gift or a treat for yourself. When I made a mistake in my order, they kindly fixed my mistake and displayed excellent customer service.
The book in this was surprisingly one I have never read, I read ALOT. So that's great. And all the bath products are all good quality and smell amazing!
I like this box so far. I've received the first month and have kept the subscription going.
