The non-fiction book subscription for curious minds

We're taking a short break - here's why!

We're not sending out an Autumn Quarterly Subscription box this year because we have big plans to roll out two brand new product lines in the next six months and we need time to get everything organised.

There are only two of us at Drift + Focus, and it's just too much of a stretch to do it all.

Rest assured, the subscription will be back for the Winter 2025 box, which goes out in mid-December.

If you'd like to be the first to know about our new products (*hint - one is a more giftable option and one is for the really avid readers amongst you), join our mailing list at the foot of the page. There'll be early-bird discounts if you do.

Quarterly deliveries to get you reading all year round

Two new non-fiction books every season

We sift through hundreds of non-fiction titles to select two brilliant books every quarter. If you're ready to re-ignite your reading mojo, start a quarterly subscription. If you don't love your first box, we'll give you a full refund.

What our subscribers say

I opened it very slowly and it was so lovely. Beautifully wrapped and presented. I wouldn't have chosen either of the books myself, which is what is so thrilling about the box. I am so looking forward to curling up with a cuppa and looking at the books.

Deborah
Brighton

My brother and his wife absolutely loved the book box I got them for Christmas. It was a massive hit!

Alex
Brighton

Curated with such care and heart - unwrapping it felt utterly delightful. I have already told some book lovers in my life about it.

Marie
Preston

Just received my box, it's fabulous! So beautifully packaged. Can't wait to read the magazine and check out the books.

Frances
East Sussex

"I'm so impressed. It's a box wonders! Two fabulous non-fiction books every three months and apt surprises. Fab!"

Gabriella
Norfolk

"Wow! I have just opened my first Drift + Focus subscription box. It was like Christmas. Each item in the box was carefully selected and beautifully designed and wrapped. I LOVED the two book choices."

Mette
Edinburgh

"Drift + Focus is about so much more than just the books, though they are the centrepiece of this visually beautiful offering. You can feel and experience the attention that's gone into the selection of everything - the pieces of art, the magazine and reading prompts. It's the initiation of a conversation not just about the books, but the act, and the art, of reading."

Sue
Brighton

I found myself immersed in writing I might otherwise have passed over...the care that has gone into curating the contents of the box brings it all to life.

Will
Brighton

"A subscription box for lovers of books and people who love reading."

Jo
Hove

"Another beautiful box. We can't wait to dive in!"

Moira + John
Yorkshire

"So exciting to receive a simple brown box full of mind-themed joy. I put on the playlist, lay back on my sofa and have been using the manifesto postcard as a bookmark ever since!"

Liz
Brighton

"Loved my first Drift + Focus subscription box. It arrived beautifully packaged with some really interesting reads. What a great way to discover books that I otherwise may not have chosen! Would totally recommend."

Kate
Hove

"I love it! It's so thoughtfully done, with an excellent choice of books - ones I wouldn't have picked up myself, but that's a very good thing. The magazine elevates it all to being something special. It was a great jumping off point and inspiration to actually read the books!"

Moira
Yorkshire

"Wow! The quality and details are amazing. You really feel like you're getting a lot for your money."

Questions about subscriptions

What happens when I subscribe?

Your card will be debited on the day you subscribe and you'll get your first delivery when the next box goes out to all subscribers (dispatch months are: September, December, March and June).

Payment is taken for subsequent boxes at the start of the month when the next box is due to go out.

You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time.

What is the deadline for ordering?

We're taking a brief break and won't be sending out a subscription box this Autumn, which means our next box will be the Winter 2025 one, going out in December, just in time for Christmas.

(We're only a small team of two and we're planning to roll out two new product lines in the next six months hence a temporary pause on our Quarterly Subscription!)

Will my subscription automatically renew?

Yes. By subscribing you’re giving us permission to take payment every quarter but you can pause or cancel any time before we take payment. 

How do I cancel my subscription?

Just log into your account and select cancel or drop us an email and we'll do it for you. No fuss and no questions asked. Or you can pause your subscription if you think you might like a box again in the future.
