Top Ten List for Book Lovers
I’ve done a lot of geeky posts lately for presents and this one I am being rather selfish on. This one is for people like me. Well, technically they are all for people like me, but this one is for writers and book lovers. What do you get the illusive bibliophile? Well, here are a few suggestions.
10. Old Book Bag – This is a cool old book bag that is perfect for anyone who loves books. Why not put your books, in your book bag?
9. Classic Book Pillows – These are super cool. They are pillows. You can literally lay your head on Alice in Wonderland. It doesn’t get much better than that my geeky friends!
8. Book Journal – There is nothing as precious to me as my Star Wars journals that I use to jot down notes and ideas in for books. My Darth Vader one is completely full so I had to start using my Yoda one. Just about every writer I know has a journal of some kind that they carry with them to take notes in. And these are beautiful ones at that.
7. Bookmarks – There are all kinds of bookmarks out there, but none quite as creative and whimsical as these. Inspired by your favorite stories these bookmarks are a great gift. There are so many to choose from I don’t think I could ever decided on just one.
6. Writing Scarf and Gloves – These are a lot of fun. The best and easiest way to wear your favorite parts of your favorite books in both a scarf and gloves. From Romeo and Juliet to Pride and Prejudice these are beautiful.
5. Book Folding – I think this art is truly amazing. I have no idea how they do it and though I have a huge aversion to dog earring pages of a novel, this is pretty piece of artwork to give to any loved one. They do it in any name you want.
4. Book Plates – What better way to show your love of books than with an entire setting of book plates? I would love to get these, but with the way my kids break things I’ll have to wait a few more years.
3. Mac Book Cover & Ipad Cover – These are a lot of fun as well as functional. And they may even keep your items from getting stolen. By people who don’t want amazing old books that is.
2. Embossing Stamp – There’s nothing worse, to a book lover, than someone who borrows our books and doesn’t return them. This is a nice way to be able to insure your books get back to you when you lend them out, or when someone tries to take them. And you don’t have to write in them.
1. Gift Card – I know it sounds cliche and ridiculous, but the best thing you can give a book lover is a gift card to a book store. Barnes and Noble and Amazon are the best, but you can go local as well. Local used bookstores and independent book stores are the way to go.
Okay so I looked EVERYWHERE for any ugly book sweater but couldn’t find one. I did however find an ugly Harry Potter Sweater T-shirt. So that’s what you get today. Sorry! If you find one, PLEASE send me the link!
So are you a bibliophile? What kind of gift would you want?
