New baby and baby showers — A basket of starter board books is one of the most lasting gifts for a new parent. We offer several ready-to-ship options, and we can personalize the bucket with the baby’s name. The Scattered Books team can curate a baby gift based on any theme or colors.
Gifts for readers — Know someone who always has a book in their hand? We’ll match titles to their tastes, whether that’s literary fiction, cozy mysteries, cookbooks, or something they’d never think to pick up themselves. A book basket from an actual independent bookstore hits differently than anything you’d find in a big box store. Each book is selected for the recipient and we can even add one of our fun Blind Date with a Book!
Birthdays — We’ll match books and fun extras to the age, interests, and general vibe of the gift. We can create amazing sets for kids who loves mysteries, humor, historical fiction, mythology, sports, unicorns and fantasy, graphic novels, cooking, specific characters and more! A Scattered Books kids birthday gift will be the best in the house!
Corporate gifting — Skip the generic. A thoughtfully curated book basket with hand-selected titles says something about the giver. We work with companies on bulk orders and can include branded elements or autographed books on request. We can work with certain colors and select nice combinations of general appeal books with chocolates, leather journals and more. Be the cool corporation this year!
Holidays — Our holiday baskets make excellent gifts for family, friends, kids, babies, teachers, neighbors, hosts, and anyone else on your list who deserves something that took actual thought. We can do Christmas gifts, Hanukkah gifts or a combination, and the same with all other holidays or even a neutral holiday gifts. There are lots of choices and will provide a guaranteed “wow” factor.
