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

"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."
