This may have been mentioned before (let me know if it has and I'll delete this post) but my latest Motability mag mentions various websites for letterbox goodies and one of them is bookandabrew.com which will appeal to RISI members

I couldn’t resist ( no will power) I done a 1 month subscription - just to try it 😁 I’m obsessed with buying different teas/coffees anyway! I’ll let you all know what I receive 👍🏻
Thanks Lorraine for the info 😊

The box came today!! The book was Nina X - Ewan Morrison
Nina X has never been outside. She has never met another child.
Nina X has no books, no toys and no privacy.
Nina X has no idea what the outside world is like.
Nina X has a lot to learn.
Nina X has no mother and no father; she has Comrade Chen, and Comrades Uma, Jeni and Ruth. Her closest emotional connection is with the birds she sees when she removes the plasterboard that covers her bedroom window. Comrade Chen has named her The Project; she is being raised entirely separated from the false gods of capitalism and the cult of the self. He has her record everything in her journal, to track her thoughts. To keep her ideology pure, her words are erased, over and over again. But that was before. Now Nina is in Freedom, and all the rules have changed. She has to remember that everything is opposite to what she was told, and yet Freedom seems to be a very confusing and dangerous place.
And some Birchleys Russian Caravan loose leaf tea with some empty teabags to brew it.
I was quite impressed, came in a lovely box and the book was wrapped in tissue paper like a little present. I’ve signed up for a 6 month subscription as they have a sale on subscriptions so works out at just over £11 month - something to look forward to through h thy he winter months 😃
