How do I choose the right WellRead gift subscription?

Start with who you're buying for

Choose a subscription that suits the reader, whether it’s for a child, a parent, or a thoughtful reader in your life.

Select the gift length

Choose from 3, 6, or 12 months depending on the occasion and how long you’d like the experience to last.

One gift per recipient

Each gift is designed for one reader. If you're purchasing for multiple people, please place separate orders so each recipient can redeem their gift individually.

Add your message and send

Include a personal note and choose when the gift email is sent. They’ll receive everything they need to redeem and begin when ready.

When should I send the gift?

You can choose to send the gift email immediately or schedule it for a special occasion (up to 30 days from purchase), such as a birthday or celebration.

Gift – Mother's Day Literary Book Subscription

$264.00

Gift Recipient Details:
What’s included each month?

Each delivery includes one carefully selected book, along with reading notes and a letter explaining why it was chosen.

Every title is thoughtfully curated from new literary releases—both local and international—with a focus on quality, discovery, and lasting reading experiences.

The reading notes are designed to deepen the experience, whether enjoyed personally or shared in a book club setting.

How does gifting work?

When you purchase a gift subscription, you’ll be able to include a personal message and choose when the gift email is sent.

On that date, the recipient will receive a beautifully written email with your note and a link to redeem their gift.

They’ll enter their delivery details and begin their subscription when ready, with each book thoughtfully selected and sent with care.

How does delivery work?

Once the gift is redeemed, the first book is prepared for the next available delivery window.

Books are carefully packaged and sent at the start of each month, with most deliveries arriving within the first week.

If a selected title is tied to a future release date, delivery may follow shortly after publication.

Shipping is included in the gift subscription, so there’s nothing additional for the recipient to pay.

Billing & subscriptions

Gift subscriptions are prepaid, so there are no ongoing charges during the selected gift period.

Once the gift is redeemed, books will be delivered according to the chosen subscription length (e.g. 3, 6, or 12 months).

At the end of the gift period, the subscription will not automatically renew. The recipient will receive a confirmation when their subscription has concluded.

What if they’ve already read the selected book?

We carefully select new and notable releases to minimise the chance of this happening.

If they’ve already read the book, many customers choose to pass it on — sharing the experience with a friend, family member, or fellow reader.

As each selection is curated in advance, we don’t typically offer exchanges. If something doesn’t feel quite right, please contact us and we’ll do our best to assist.

When Is Mother's Day in Australia?

Mother’s Day in Australia is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, which means it falls on 10 May 2026. It’s a moment to honour the mothers and mother figures who shape our lives – often quietly, always profoundly. If you’re searching for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift, a WellRead subscription offers something beautifully simple: a curated book each month, chosen with care and delivered with intention. It’s a gift that lingers well beyond the day itself, creating small pockets of reading joy long after the flowers have faded. Whether you’re celebrating Mum, a carer, a grandmother, or the friend who feels like family, a subscription becomes a gentle reminder of how much they’re appreciated.

We'll pack your order when it arrives, but keep in mind that we can't guarantee it will arrive before Mother's Day. 

At checkout, you can select a printable card so you have something to slip into it, no matter how late you leave the gift-buying!
