Let’s talk about Mother’s Day and the annual “What do I get her this year?” moment. If you’ve ever panicked in the gift aisle or defaulted to flowers that looked tired before they even made it home, you’re not alone. This year, though, there’s a new trend taking over—and it’s way more thoughtful than that last-minute bouquet. 

We’ve got just what you need! The Once Upon a Book Club adult book box is the perfect Mother’s Day gift; it’s personal and says, “Mom, I actually put thought into this.” We guarantee that your Mom will love our book box! It’s packed with an exciting novel and our world-famous surprise gifts! Yes, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Because Moms and Sons Share a Special Kind of Love

Let’s be real, your mom probably still brags about you to her friends. She’s your biggest cheerleader, the one who drove you to football or soccer practice, packed snacks, and remembered every single one of your favorite meals (even when you changed your mind weekly).

The bond between a mother and her son is a forever kind of love—loyal, proud, and soft around the edges. And Mother’s Day is the perfect time to cherish that bond with something more memorable than a grocery store bouquet.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Sure, flowers are nice. But a book box? That’s taking gifting to a whole new level. Each Once Upon a Book Club box includes a newly released novel and 3 to 5 beautifully wrapped gifts your mom opens at specific page numbers while she reads. It turns reading into an experience—and adds a little sparkle to her daily routine. We love bringing books to life, one box at a time!

Let’s not forget: your mom probably hasn’t had much alone time over the past few years. And if your Mom is anything like ours, she always puts everyone else first. This is the gift that gives her permission to slow down, savor a story, and enjoy a few well-earned surprises along the way. It’s relaxing, rewarding, and all about her for a change.

📦 Give your Mom a Mother’s Day gift she’ll truly love!

Want Bonus Points? Add Coffee

If you’re really looking to knock it out of the park, plan a little follow-up coffee date and let her tell you all about the book, the characters, the twists—and of course, show off the surprise gifts that made her laugh, cry, or both. She’ll be touched that you care enough to listen, and let’s be honest, she probably still thinks you’re the best thing since sliced bread anyway.

Look Like a Gifting Genius

We know most sons aren’t scrolling Pinterest for gift ideas. That’s why this is such a win: it’s beautiful, meaningful, and super easy to order. Choose from month-to-month, or 3, 6, or 12-month subscriptions. We handle the rest — you take the credit.

If you’re not quite ready to sign up for a subscription, no problem. You can still impress your  Mom with a Ready-to-Ship Book Box — no waiting, no hassle, and packed with all the magic of our regular boxes. It's the perfect one-time gift to test the waters (and we promise, she’ll be hooked).
