FAQ

Blind Date With a Book

Are the books new or pre-loved?

Most of our Blind Date With a Book selections are gently pre-loved and carefully chosen for their excellent condition and storytelling quality. Occasionally, we may include new or remaindered titles. Each book is selected with care and wrapped to create a thoughtful reading experience.

Can I choose a genre?

Yes. You will be able to select your preferred genre when ordering. We aim to match your choice as closely as possible while keeping the title a surprise.

Will I know the title before I buy?

No – that is part of the magic. Each book is wrapped and described only by clues to give you a sense of the story without revealing it.

Do you ship across the UK?

Yes, we currently ship across the UK. Shipping typically takes between 1-2 weeks.

Can I send a Blind Date With a Book as a gift?

Absolutely. Our books are beautifully wrapped and perfect for gifting. You can email us a personalised message at hello@thecraftedpage.co.uk if sending directly to someone special.

Handmade Crochet Gifts

Are your crochet items handmade?

Yes – each piece is handmade with care and attention to detail. As a small creative business, every item is crafted thoughtfully to ensure quality and charm.

Can I request custom colours or sizes?
