Have a blind date with a book. It's a lucky dip book for readers, a fabulous surprise gift for yourself or a fellow bookworm.

Sold as individual book / blind date or as a 3 / 5 / 10 pack (value for $$$).

When we had a shop at Burleigh, we had a local cult following of our blind dates with a book. Each week people popped in for a blind date before they went to the beach. We loved that. We've sent blind date books to shops all around the world to sell. And we also sell them to you!

Each blind date comes with a short teaser postcard that can be reused to regift the book after you've read it AND to be used as a bookmark. We are all for up-cycling here at Six things, so hang onto the postcard and once you've read it pay your blind date book forward to someone else. :)

Please note each book has been pre loved and pre read for you. They are sourced from our mates at Lifeline and the Salvos so you're giving to charity too! Each blind date book sale donates $5 to charity. Although the books are 2nd hand, they are in good condition, are best sellers or highly recommended reads chosen by hand by us.

We try our best to match your chosen genre but these are a lucky did so we cannot make any promises. Chosen at random.

Just think: a cozy evening, with a surprise book just for you, and potentially a few bookish goodies, snacks, or a cup of hot chocolate to make for the perfect date. What a wonderful gift for yourself or your bookish friend to unwrap this holiday season.

What do you do on a blind date?

Try to meet somewhere casual and public, like a cafe or a busy park. If you're tired of coffee shops and parks, arrange to meet in a place where you're sure you'll enjoy yourself. That way, if your date's uninteresting, you can still have a great time playing pool or eating your favorite food.
