Hand-picked

Books and stationery make thoughtful gifts for family, friends, clients, and even suppliers. They show how well you know the person and that you understand their interests and what they like.

But if you’re not a big reader — or you have vastly different tastes to the person you’re buying for — you might find yourself stuck for ideas on exactly which book to buy.

Luckily, the team at Mrs Blackwell’s Village Bookshop are huge book nerds. We love nothing more than helping customers choose the perfect book, whether it’s for themselves or a loved one.

If you’re stuck for gift ideas, send us a message with a few clues about the recipient and we’ll get back to you with a list of recommendations!

All wrapped up in a bow

We don’t just pluck your chosen book from the shelf and post it to the recipient with no flair. We go beyond that to create a gift that your client, vendor, or loved one will remember.

Our team of bookworms will remove the price label, lovingly wrap your gift, add a fancy ribbon, and even handwrite a card for you.

We’ll then send your gift anywhere in the world! We use New Zealand Couriers for domestic orders and NZ Post for overseas gifts.

Corporate gifting

We offer a corporate gifting service for businesses or entrepreneurs that want to send gifts to clients, customers, or vendors.

Corporate gifting includes all of the delightful elements of our regular gifting service, plus an optional handwritten note on your corporate stationery. If you find yourself using the service regularly, you can even leave a stash of your stationery with us to use each time.

If we don’t stock books relating to your industry, ask us to order them for you so you can send them as gifts. Who knows — they might even end up as permanent additions on our shelves!
