I've been sitting on the idea of doing a holiday gift guide for book lovers and it's already seven days into December, so I'm just going to throw it out there now. Hopefully there will be some ideas for you to get for your bookish friends (or to give some subtle hints for you :)
Holiday Bookish Gift Guide
These gorgeous posters created from the text of your favorite books will make a beautiful and unique gift.
Spineless Classics is the slightly pricier option, ranging from $50+. I'm particularly fond of the
Alice in Wonderland or
The Hobbit, though I also like the
Pride and Prejudice poster (of course). If you are looking for something a little bit more affordable, you might try out Postertext, which has some more affordable prints (though they may not be the full text of the book), around $30. I like the
Wuthering Heights and
The Secret Garden prints, though there are a number of other classics available.
For someone who seems to have every book they want, get them a collector's edition of a favorite! The gorgeous illustrated copies from
The Folio Society will make the perfect addition to any bibliophiles collection. I adore
The Dark is Rising, not to mention
Anne of Green Gables and if I had unlimited funds, I'd already own
The Lord of the Rings set :)
You can pretty much find bookish t-shirts and other clothing items anywhere you want online! All you have to do is a google search and you will find them (or you can even make them yourself). These two are just a sample of what's available at
Out of Print Clothing, which also has a vast array of jewelry and other accessories, including book totes, mugs, and other goodies. This
Poe-inspired tote from
Out of Print Clothing is hilarious!
And to get you drooling even more, check out more bookish related gear available at
Café Press (
bookish flip flops!) and at
Zazzle (obviously love the
librarian tee).
Since jewelry is its own vast bookish mine, here are some ideas for accessorizing with books:
Love this
Les Miserables bracelet and also this
Jane Eyre brooch from
JezebelCharms.
The BookFiend is another good shop with lots and lots of bookish jewelry, including this
Lord of the Rings necklace and
Harry Potter leather bracelet. I really love that you can
customize some of their jewelry with your favorite quote. So many ideas!
Also, there's
Bookshelves of Doom's etsy shop of postage stamp pendants, including a
Harry Potter one and my favorite,
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

For the book-lover who wishes she had more time to read, offer a subscription to
Audible or to
Audiobooks.com. You can download one audiobook a month and enjoy it while doing housework, commuting, or exercising! This is an awesome affordable gift for the audiobook lovers in your life or as an introduction to the wonderful world of audiobooks!
Anyway, as you can see, there are a number of options (in addition to the always welcome gift of books or a gift certificate to a book store) for the bookish person on your gift list.
Any great ideas you'd like to add?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage
