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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
