8 Gifts for Book Lovers

With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us are still scrambling to get our ducks in a row and get all the gifts we need for friends and family. And chances are, even if you don't celebrate anything at this time of year, you're going to need to get a gift for someone at some point in the near future. Or hey, maybe you're just looking to #treatyoself. With that in mind, I've created a (hopefully) handy guide for those looking to get something unique for their favorite book lovers who might not be sure where to start. It's by no means extensive, but it contains some of my favorite items and shops that I've collected over my ridiculously nerdy lifetime.


1. Book Clutches


Like every good bookworm, I make sure to take a book everywhere I go. But these gorgeous handmade bags give you the special ability to carry around a book inside a book, all while looking effortlessly classy.


2. Literary Cuffs

Take your favorite book quotes with you every where you go with these specialty bracelets! The featured passages range from romantic to inspiring to spooky--whatever you're in the mood for.

3. Today I'm Reading...

I have this problem where I keep buying mugs en masse when I actually only need one or two. But of the bunch, this one is probably my personal favorite. The machine-washable chalk mug pictured above is the perfect way to show everyone what's you're reading obsession at the moment, since for some reason people get annoyed if you just go up to them and start gushing nonstop in person.


4. Nerdy Animal Bookworms

These adorable felt bookmarks are the perfect way to ensure you'll always have a friend reading with you every time you open up your book.


5. Specialty Journals

Since reading and writing go together like peanut butter and jelly, have where you write pay homage to a work you love! Who knows, maybe it'll inspire you.

6. Quotable Throw Pillows

Nothing's better than getting cozy with a book you love. Now you can cuddle up with a pillow that that reflects this universal truth.

7. Bookish Pins

I'm obsessed with these stunning handmade literary pins. Each one is only an inch tall, but they do a wonderful job of capturing the essence of their respective books.

8. Novel Scarves

With the colder months upon us, we could all use a way to keep warm--and what better way that draping yourself in your favorite books!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
