The Holiday Rush Begins
It's the day after Thanksgiving, are you still disgesting all that food or are you one of the thousands out shopping at the mall, looking for a bargain? Or maybe you are of the number who stay home and do all their shopping from the internet? If you are part of the latter group and you are looking for a gift for a bookish someone, and you are of the mind, like my mother, that getting a book or a gift card for books is a crime to give to someone who already has so many books, then here are a few non-book suggestions that rabid readers might still enjoy:
- Signals has something for every literary taste, from Wild Thing shirts, to a Terrific Charlotte's Web shirt. For the more philosophical person on your list, you might want to consider a Nietzsche shirt that says "God is Dead"--Nietzsche followed by "Nietzsche is Dead"--God. But if you want something a bit more general, then try an Edward Gorey Book Lovers' Shirt
- Or perhaps a literary print or poster
- If the bookish person on your list enjoys coffee or tea, perhaps a mug that says I'd rather be reading would be appreciated. Or, there is the Reading brings tranquility mug
- And of course, to haul around books, a Read totebag might useful.
- For the more discriminating reader on your list, be sure to check out Levenger. Page Points are always nearby whenever I read. I have have been told that book bungees are great (they are on my list this year). And if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, what lucky person wouldn't love to have a full bronze bust of Mark Twain? It's only $15,000. Come on! What are you waiting for? Order it now before your sanity returns.
