working in publishing means I use my discount to get everyone books as birthday/holiday gifts, and turns out it is SO fun selecting books for everyone based on their interests and loves and reading habits!! I think even without a discount this is a fun way to keep gift prices low without losing a personal touch 🩷
Preferably to a niece or nephew as this is very much uncle vibes. And preferably not a new book. I think this is the chic’est gift you can ever give anyone. They can get a pint or something with the tenner while they read the book. Sick.
I’m convinced restaurants have popularized them because they can use less meat and charge the same price. It’s a small thing individually, but on a global scale…
they love it. It doesn’t have to be their birthday or anything, just when they ask if you can get sushi for dinner, a simple “it’s your day,” goes a long way.
