The ultimate literary gift guide
I said I wouldn't do one *but* I have to share these brilliant things with you
Most of my friends love books (and I also love receiving stuff like this) so I’ve gathered up some great bookish gift ideas. I’ve also tried to not go too ‘twee’ because I think literary gifts can often head that way (eg. “she believed she could so she did” stitched onto a pillow case, please just NO). Here are some fun things I’d be happy to receive and gift! Enjoy! xo
A personalized bookmark for a friend (bonus: using recycled leather.)
A posh bookmark from Anya Hindmarch.
A tee shirt with Toni Morrison on it, or Nora Ephron from Girls on Top Tees.
A Bookshop.org gift voucher. (So when they order a book, it’ll be despatched from their local indie bookstore.)
A chic Faber or LRB tote bag or the Notting Hill Bookshop shopper bag.
This Writer’s Journey coffee table book.
A Room of One's Own pencil case.
Books n Snacks large canvas bag.
A Writer’s Journal, designed by moi!
