Book Lover's Christmas Gift Guide

Don't know what to get the book worm in your life this Christmas? Never fear, here is a quick list of cute ideas just in time before all the final postage dates (don't forget to check, I have messed up Christmas shipping before and had to go out to the shops in person - what a nightmare!).

Firstly the obvious choice would be books, or gift vouchers for the purchase of books. At this time of year I love to read cute Christmas books - here are a few I have enjoyed over the last few years:
Dash and Lily's Book of DaresLet it SnowMy True Love Gave to Me


Other obvious choices would be the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - it is just gorgeous - or an adult colouring in book such as The Secret Garden (Not a trend that I am following but definitely a trend).  

Next on my list would be a book subscription box (something I am getting this Christmas!) - these are really taking off around the world and there are many to choose from. There are so many around the world that look amazing; Owl Crate, Illumicrate, Uppercase and many more. I try not look at them as the postage to Australia is insane. I am trying out a couple of Australian ones, YA Chronicles which have done a fabulous job so far with their offerings and Foxthings which I'm less sure about (they seem to have had some issues but I'm hoping to see a box around Christmas - time will tell). 


Next on my list would be some bookish attire. Who doesn't want to share their love of literature in their clothing. Here are a few ideas:




1) A gorgeous Harry Potter Alliance Hermione quote tee from DFTBA records
2) A delightful Alice in Wonderland brooch from Etsy 
3) A whimsical book tee from Modcloth  
4) An Opening-line necklace from Modcloth
5) A flowing Due date scarf from Etsy
  
And last but not least a few extra bits and bobs that are fun:





1) A personal library set from Modcloth
2) Some adorable bookmarks from Etsy
3) A truthful cushion cover from Etsy
4) A useful tote from Modcloth
5) One of Frostbeard's delicious book themed soy candles from Etsy 
6) A Mockingjay pin replica (see I like book fandoms other than Harry Potter!) 

I hope you all have a magical Christmas and your stockings are filled with bookish items galore! xox
