Bookish Gifts and Items

Now that my Christmas event is in full swing I thought it would be a great excuse to talk about bookish items! If you follow me on Pinterest you probably noticed I have a Gifts for Bookworms board, and can I just say some of the items are so clever, and fun, and just plain cuuute! If I talked about all my favorite items we would be here forever, and I want to get back to eating cookies so I’ll just call out a few of my favorites!
Mugs
If you saw any of my Lars Olsen #deskdwarf posts on Instagram you saw my newest bookish themed mug! I also have a Dr. Seuss one featuring some lines from Oh the Places You’ll Go. Here’s a buzzfeed article with tons more bookish themed mugs!
If you’d like a mug (or a travel mug) featuring some of my cover art, there are some options over on my merchandise store. If you’re not interested in cover art MyrrhLynn also made a mug featuring the most popular line ever from The Little Selkie (“Some people need a starfish in the face.“)
Games
I know this might seem random to include a game in this list but if you are a Jane Austen fan at all and haven’t played the Marrying Mr. Darcy game you need to give it a try! It is SO. MUCH. FUN! Especially if you play it with people who are willing to get into the spirit of it, because many of the cards say ridiculous things like “Scandal! Your dress was deemed too revealing!”
Bookends
I love cute decorations and book ends for my bookshelves. My unicorn bookends that I got at a garage sale sometimes make an appearance in my Instagram photos (although in my case I have so many books the bookends are pretty squashed on the shelf and aren’t really serving their intended purpose). I also have a Pinterest board with links to tons of other options – I’m kind of obsessed so I willingly pin pictures of everything bookend related from cute to cool to majestic to DIY.
T-Shirts and Clothing
I’ve always admired the litograph t-shirts and other products, especially since they give a lot of recognition to Jane Austen and other classic writers. Check out their website if you haven’t seen their works before – they take text from the stories and use it to craft an image that represents the story. It basically allows you to read your clothing.
