Who Is GUTS For?
GUTS is aimed toward girls aged 8-13 years old, however we welcome everyone to get in on the fun! These are just SOME of the people who might be interested in this subscription box:
- Parents who struggle to find novels for reluctant readers or readers who 'aren't quite there yet'.
- Readers—particularly girls— looking for representation... we strive to find graphic novels that demonstrate the lives, socio-economical experiences, and
environments of people from all walks of life! - Graphic novel enthusiasts!
- Grandparents, aunts, uncles, or godparents who want to get the kids in their lives a unique gift.
- Girls who don't know where to start as far as looking for graphic novels to read (we've got your back!).
What Will I Receive In My Subscription Box?
Each month the box contents will be a little different. Things that could be included are (just to name a few):
- Bookmarks and art pieces created by illustrators and customized to line up with that month's graphic novel
- Handmade hair accessories, stationary, and jewelry, in collaboration with Etsy sellers and Canadian artisans and small businesses
- Small craft kit created and assembled by your team here at GUTS!
- Other book swag
Each box will also include a Spoiler Card (custom designed in collaboration with an illustrator) listing the different creators and contributors included in that month's box. The spoiler card will also include the profile of a woman doing interesting and exciting things in the world. Learn about different women changing the world—what is life like as an EMT, a small business owner, or even a welder?
Before each box is sent, GUTS gives subscribers a sneak-peek of what’s coming up. This also allows subscribers an opportunity to pause that month, no questions asked. So if you will be out of town, or aren’t interested in a particular genre or story, you can pause your subscription.
How Can I Get My Hands On One?
Very simply put... if you like what you see and read you place your order on here between the 16th and 15th of the current month and you are all signed up for receiving the next month's box. If you hold off too long... and order on the 16th of the month you just have a little longer wait because you'll be in the next cycle for the next month's box. (example: You had the June subscription box in your online shopping cart on the 15th of May but you were humming and hawing about the purchase - we've all done it - and worried about your decision so much you stayed up until 1 AM before finally caving and making your choice to purchase. Well, unfortunately because of your hesitation you're signed up for the July box... make sure you place your order on time!)
When Can I Expect My Order?
GUTS ships monthly between the 25th and 28th of the month. Occassionally a delay may occur due to a supplier however every ounce of effort will be made to make subscribers aware of any delay and make the shipping process go as smoothly as possible.
GUTS asks for your patience during this time of COVID as worldwide there are currently delays in one way or another. Again, GUTS would like to assure you that every effort is made to get the subscription boxes out in a timely manner.
