Gifts for Booklovers

by Deborah Bullivant

We couldn't create our gift guides without having one filled with books for all the bookworms we know! The Shop Elves have gathered some perfect choices together for anyone who loves to read, and with gifts that don't always add to the 'books to be read' pile.

 

  1. Joanne Harris Novel Tea Box featuring The Blue Salt Road, other book options include Pocketful of Crows and OrfeiaOur Novel Tea Boxes have proved popular year on year, with 4 different teas and books featured in each, and additional gifts all wrapped up in a stunning gift box ready to pass on. Each box has a variety of items to complement the book and encourage time to oneself, getting cosy with a cuppa and a good read. The Christmas Carol box contains a bumper selection of treats and is a classic gift for this time of year.

    And if they has read all these books already, how about the
    Gift Box to Mull Over - a smaller treat-filled box with plenty of festive feels.

  2. The Bookshelf at Grimm & Co is fuller than ever with so many delightful titles to peruse and read. We are especially fond of some of the more seasonal titles which are perfect for chilly nights drawing in and getting cosy under a duvet. From tales we know and love to newer and unfamiliar tales, these are all sure to leave you feeling uplifted and relishing the winter months.

  3. The range of Story Excerpt Scarves feature striking designs of cursive, coloured lettering over a soft white background. Choose from beloved tales such as Pride & Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes. Hamlet, Jane Eyre and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. These infinity scarves allow you to take your favourite story with you wherever you go, and the lengthy quotes featured across the scarf mean you'll always have something to read.

  4. For a book to truly treasure, why not opt for some of our classic titles with designs that showcase the stories within. Choose from re-imaginings from MinaLima with pull-out and interactive items, a collector edition celebrating the Taschen 40th anniversary of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen compilation with illustrations from artists all around the world, and a beautiful clothbound table copy of Aesop's Fables with lino-cut illustrations by Agnes Miller Parker. All these books are sure to delight and captivate any book-lover with their style and re-telling.

  5. Lastly, we think any book-lover will love re-creating famous stories with these literary themed puzzles in the Jigsaw Library collection. Each puzzle is double-sided which means twice the fun in creating either the front cover picture of the book or an extract from the story on the reverse.
    Titles to choose from include Romeo & Juliet, The Great Gatsby, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Frankenstein, A Christmas Carol and many beloved children's classics too. 
    Find the Jigsaw Library titles here.

Hopefully we have given you some ideas to ponder and that the book-lovers will have plenty of gifts to choose from this year.
