Gift Boxes, Subscriptions and Book of the Month Club
The team at award-winning Children’s Bookshop, Halfway up the Stairs, believe that the gift of reading is the best gift of all!
Gift Boxes:
First Library Gift Box
To encourage people to gift books to babies, toddlers and young children for baby showers, christenings, naming days and birthdays, we have selected our favourite enduring and modern classics – both Irish and international.
With prices ranging from €50 to €150, this gift will set the foundation for a lifetime of reading! See more information and order here
General Gift Box
A once off gift to send to a child in your life! Choose from four values – €35, €50, €80 and €100. Tell us a bit about the child and we will choose books and gifts according to the information you give us. They will be beautifully wrapped and packaged in an eco friendly gift box. You can also choose your own books from our website or in store and buy a gift box to package your books in.

Subscriptions
Choose a six or twelve month subscription for a child in your life.
Our subscription service is a very personal offering, with every book chosen individually for each child, taking particular care to tailor the selection to their tastes and interests. This is done by our award-winning Subscriptions Co-ordinator, Amanda, who also writes a personal note for each reader. Each book is wrapped in environmentally-friendly paper to be posted or collected in the first week of the month.
