National Book Tokens Gift Card

National Book Tokens® gift cards empower readers to choose the books they want to read from the bookshops they love. They’re the only gift cards accepted in bookshops across the UK, including Waterstones, WHSmith, Blackwell's, Eason, Foyles and hundreds of beloved local independents. They can also be spent online with selected bookshops big and small, including independent audiobook retailers.

National Book Tokens are a gift you can trust: they’re valid for eight years from last use (including balance checks), and expired cards can be replaced. National Book Tokens also support campaigns that champion local bookshops, and encourage reading for pleasure through their support for reading charities such as World Book Day, Read for Good and Book Aid International.

Whatever the occasion – birthdays and Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, congratulations or a simple "thank you" – National Book Tokens are a gift beyond words for booklovers everywhere.
