Annual Member Gift
we can't tell you what it is. just know it's good.
Once a year, every member gets a complimentary gift. Handpicked. Specific. The kind of thing that makes you feel like someone actually thought about what readers want.
It arrives once a year as long as your membership is active.
Questions
the ones we actually get asked.
-
Immediately. The moment your membership payment processes, your gift card is sent to the email you signed up with. There's no waiting period. It's one of our favorite parts of the whole setup.
-
Yes. Every year your membership renews, a fresh $30 gift card is sent to your inbox. So as long as you stay a member, the gift card keeps coming back. It resets on your membership anniversary date.
-
Anything in the store except ebooks purchased directly from Bookshop.org through our partner link. Physical books, print-on-demand editions, store merchandise, digital downloads from SBR directly — all fair game. We'll make it clear at checkout when an item applies.
-
Your member account is tagged automatically. When you're logged in and your cart total for physical products hits $55 or more, free shipping applies without any code. No copy-paste, no forgetting. It just works.
-
Four times a year, a new issue is added to your account. You'll get a notification when it's live. It's a digital issue, so there's no shipping delay, no physical handling. Just open and read.
-
Your perks stay active through the end of your current billing year. After that, the membership and its perks expire. We don't do partial refunds on annual memberships, but you'll never be surprised by a charge — you'll always get a reminder before renewal.
-
That's the part we keep close to the chest on purpose. What we can say is that it's handpicked, it's for readers, and it's something we'd actually want to receive. We reveal the year's gift close to delivery. Part of the fun is not knowing.
