It’s that time of year. In fact, it’s my favourite time of the year.. Christmas.
I am one of those people who likes finding presents for family and friends. I will sit for hours trying to find the perfect something – a gift they would like.
As I have been doing my own shopping, I have found some perfect stocking fillers related to writing or books so I have put together a gift guide.
If you’re struggling to find a present for the writer or reader in your life (or, if you want to observe the law of Christmas present shopping where you should buy something for yourself as well as for others. OK, I made that up but it’s a nice tradition to start right?)
I have tried to find things that are under £20 so let’s get straight to the guide.*
Literary Cat Mug – The Literary Gift Company – £13.99.
Words can’t describe how much I love this mug and it is going on my Christmas list for sure. This mug features nine cat silhouettes and kitty related quotes from people like Emily Bronte, L.M Montgomery and Winston Churchill.
It’s so pretty and for anyone who wants to know, it’s microwave and dishwasher safe too. If, like me, you or your gift recipient is a writer, reader or cat lover (or all three,) this mug is perfect.
100 Books Scratch Bucket List Poster – Gift Republic via Not on The High Street – £12.99.
I love these type of posters and really want one. This one in particular compiles a hundred of the best novels and, if you’ve not already guessed, you can scratch off the books as you read.
This poster features classic novels like Murder on the Orient Express and Great Expectations to more recent books like The Help, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Handmaid’s Tale. This would make a great reading challenge for the new year if you or someone you know have wanted to read some of the greats but haven’t know where to begin.
