Got Your Blue Envelope Yet?

Monday, October 3, 2022.

It's back!  Our third annual Blue Envelope campaign is here, which means that from now through October 31, when you give Brilliant Books Monthly, you'll get a gift for yourself.

Here's how it works. 

You already know that our flagship subscription service, Brilliant Books Monthly, makes a fantastic gift.  So fantastic, in fact, that we get hundreds of orders for new and renewed subscriptions during the holiday season alone. 

If you place your order early enough to beat the Christmas rush (that is, between September 1-21) we've got a Blue Envelope just for you.

What's in it?  Well, like every hand-picked Brilliant Books Monthly selection, it's a surprise.

What's in that Blue Envelope?
