The Unemployed Philosophers Guild

What I notice every time is the little bits of text on the packaging and the card, they really make a present feel thought through. I've been ordering from them for years, mostly for my brother and my dad. Everything has arrived in good order and nothing has ever been damaged.

The item I keep coming back for is the philosophers tea towel set, which I bought for my wife's sister. It's a good size and the printing has held up well through several washes. Ordering was straightforward and it came in a few days. A dependable place for a present.

Honestly the gift itself was good, the mug has a nice design and my sister loved it. Shipping took about ten days though, longer than I'd have liked for a birthday. Still a fun place to shop.

I bought a pair of the philosophy socks for my dad's birthday because he likes a bit of humour in his presents. The order went through without any trouble and the socks came in a neat little box. They're a bit thinner than I expected but he laughed at the slogan so that's the main thing. Delivery was about three days which was fine.

The first thing that struck me was how nicely the mug was described on the page, with a little note about the philosopher on it. When it arrived the handle had a small chip and the colour looked duller than the photo. I've ordered from them before so I know what to expect, but this one was a letdown.

I needed something for my girlfriend's birthday and wanted something a bit more thoughtful than flowers. Looked at a few places on my phone while on the bus. The site was easy to use and I got the order in quickly. It arrived the next week in a nice box, and she's had it on her desk ever since. Would order again.

Compared to the chain shops I used to buy from for gifts, this site is far more interesting and the things they sell feel like they have a bit of character. I've been ordering from them for years now, mostly around birthdays and Christmas. Packaging has always been careful and the items arrive as described, which is more than I can say for some places I've tried.

I needed a gift for a friend who's just started studying philosophy and I'd looked at a few other sites first. This one had the most interesting range and the descriptions helped me choose. Ordering was easy and the book arrived within the week in a sturdy box with no damage. My friend was thrilled and said it's exactly what she wanted.

I needed a last minute present for my brother who is hard to buy for and somebody at work suggested this place. The ordering was quick and simple, I picked something within ten minutes. It arrived in good time and he seemed genuinely pleased with it.

Compared with buying the same sort of thing in a big bookshop, this was a bit more money, but the item was well made. I bought a notebook for my wife. Ordering was simple and it arrived in a few days. For what you get it's reasonable enough.

Got the order through in about four minutes while waiting for the kettle to boil, which is honestly the only way I shop these days. The checkout kept my details saved so I didn't have to type my address again. Stuff arrived the following week and it was just what I wanted.

Really the best place I know for a gift that isn't the usual thing. I've been a customer for years. Quick to order and the parcels turn up on time.

I bought the philosophers tea towel set for my sister's birthday and I've ordered from them for years now. The towels are still in great shape after loads of washes. Ordering was simple as always and it arrived in good time.

The book I wanted was out of stock at my usual shop so I checked here on the train and it was listed with a delivery date. Placed it in a couple of taps, the confirmation came straight away. The parcel turned up two days later, wrapped properly and no damage. Quick, easy, nothing to complain about and I'll be back.

The verdict is that the quality is better than most novelty gift sites, the materials feel solid and the printing is sharp. I've bought a few of their mugs and a notebook over the years and I know the range well. Ordering is simple and delivery has always been prompt, so I'd happily keep buying from them.

I bought a set of coasters from them, the sort with a quote printed on each one, and I've had them a few years now. The design is nice and they're sturdy enough. Delivery took much longer than the site suggested, nearly two weeks, and I had to email them to ask where it was. They did reply within a day though.

I would say the gift I chose was a very satisfactory purchase for my nephew's birthday. The site was straightforward to navigate and I found the description of the item clear and helpful. It arrived well wrapped and he was delighted with it, which is all one can ask.

I'd normally pick up a book token from the garden centre for my granddaughter but I thought I'd try something a bit different this time. The item was a little more expensive than I'd have paid elsewhere, though it's a lovely piece. Delivery took a few days and the packaging was careful. I'm glad I went with it.

Compared to the high street gift shops I usually go to, this is so much more interesting and the things are better made. I've been buying from them for about six years now. Delivery is always prompt and the packing is careful.

My colleague was leaving and we needed a card and a little present from the office, so I was asked to sort it out on my phone during my lunch break. Found something funny in about five minutes and placed the order. It came through to my desk a few days later and everyone thought it was brilliant. Easy and quick, and the price was fine too.
