This year there is a big push on the four gift principles, something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read. Whilst this concept has been around for a number of years, I think we are all more aware of the financial burden that Christmas can be. As well as the number of items we both gift and receive that are not necessary. With this in mind, I wanted to share with you the wonderful #GiveABook campaign from Scholastic.
Something to read #GiveABook
All the books featured in the Scholastic Christmas Bookshop have been significantly discounted with up to 70% off the RRP. Plus, when you shop with Scholastic, you can stretch the season of goodwill to make it last all year round as Scholastic donate 25% worth of FREE BOOKS back to the shopper’s nominated school or nursery for every order over £10. Which means schools can add to their library or class bookshelves for free!
The books in this year’s shop have been carefully chosen from around 70 publishers and are a time-saving round-up of titles that will be at the top of everyone’s Christmas list. As well as the much-anticipated new releases from award-winning authors such as David Walliams, Jeff Kinney and Liz Pichon. There are paperback exclusives from Michael Rosen, Antony Horowitz, Cathy Cassidy, Jacqueline Wilson, David Baddiel plus the best-selling debut children’s novel from Miranda Hart. In addition, there are jolly joke books, silly stories and the opportunity to get crafty with all kinds of creative kits which will entertain any child whether they’re a tiny tot or teen.
Book Advent Ideas
Also on offer for the first time, are two brilliantly conceived, Advent Packs containing a wonderful mix of classic and new favourites for either 0-7 years or 7-11 years. Each amazing value set will include 24 seasonally themed books (to be given each day of Advent) for an incredible £29.99. Offering a unique countdown to Christmas sure to delight young bookworms and far more wholesome than the usual chocolate option!
