Bookish Gift Guide – On the Go Edition

December 1, 2020Lifestyle, Listing, Seasonal
+4

First bookish gift guide of the year! Christmas is one of my favourite holidays, but the struggle of finding the perfect present is real! No matter how early I start, I always end up rushing presents at the last minute.

While buying books for myself is one of my favourite things to do, I struggle with other people. I can even know them well, and still struggle unless I ask. There’s nothing worse than buying a book for someone and they accept it just out of politeness.

However, when it comes to bookish gifts, you can never go wrong! So here’s a list of my current favourites to help you out.

  1. BOOKISH PIN by Punky Pins, £6.75 – What’s better than filling your to-go bag or your jacket with pins? Do I even have to mention the cat, the books and the quote?
  2. GIANT BOOK TOTE by Paper and Word, £15.00 – I can never find a tote big enough for me to carry all the books when I raid the bookshop. I always end up carrying them or squished in my backpack. Problem solved! {no longer in stock}
  3. BOOK CLUTCH by Bagsy Me First, from £74.99 – If you have to go out, then make it fashion! A handmade clutch and one in a kind gift. This is there to impress!
  4. BOOK LOVER KEYCHAIN by Stacey McEvoy Caunt, £8.00 – Enamel keychain for your keys or attached to your bag. Vibrant colours and fantastic design sure to make you smile!
  5. BOOK SLEEVE by Book Besties UK, £12.50 – Going on a stroll and bringing your favourite read and don’t want to ruin it? Book sleeves are the perfect solution!
  6. TUMBLER WITH STRAW (20 oz) by Miss Bohemia, £14.00 – Perfect tumbler for drinks on the go. What’s better than one with designed some magical destination?
  7. CURSE BREAKER TEE by Blissfully Bookish, £19.70 – Made to order bookish tee. They have plenty of designs to choose from, but this caught my heart!
  8. BOOKISH PENCILS by Ustudio, £6.00 – A set of six pencils with bookish phrases on them. Can you find anything better to write your next story or your ever-growing to be read list?
  9. BOOK PATCH by Literary Emporium, £5.00 – Perfect patch for your jacket, bag or book sleeve. Iron it on and you’re ready to go!
  10. NOTEBOOK by Bookish Stuff, £17.48 – A notebook in your bag comes always handy when ideas come at the most impossible moments. Perfect gift for someone who writes.
