Top Ten Tuesday- Bookish and Crafty Gift Ideas

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a freebie. With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to do a mix of bookish and crafty gift ideas.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

 Ten bookish and crafty gift ideas:

1. Bookish shirts

One of my favorite series is the Holly series by C.C. Warrens. I recently found out C.C. Warrens has an Etsy shop. One way to support the book lovers in your life AND authors is to shop from their favorite authors shop (assuming they have one!). Two items I wouldn't mind owning myself and would be great for book lovers are these:

2. Autographed copy of their favorite book

Some authors even have opportunities to for you to send autographed copies to your friends and family. I do have some books that are autographed, but it's more important to me to have a copy of the books than them being autographed, even though it it s nice touch.

3. A Novel Poster 

I would love to give credit to the blogger that introduced me to Litographs last year, but I can't remember who it was and I can't find their post. I got Elijah this poster last year (and we FINALLY framed it) to hang in his room. He LOVES it, we all do. This movie (The Princess Bride) is one of Matt and the kids' favorites. One of the cool things with this site is it's not just posters, you can get totes, T-shirts etc with the novel on it, it's such a unique and fun gift!

4. A Bookish Ornament

I recently saw this one and thought it was so cute but there are SO many to choose from...chose the one the person you have in mind will like best.

5. A Bookish Puzzle

We have several different types of bookish puzzles and we all love them! One of the most unique ones we found came from Barnes and Noble. The one pictured below is at Amazon.

6. I am sharing another bookish shirt, LOL, because most book nerds can relate:

7. For your crafty friend you can take any of the suggestions above and find it for their craft: crochet, sewing, quilting etc...For crochet you can get a Yarn Bowl. This would have been handy yesterday when I was crocheting and my yarn rolled out of my lap and onto the floor 😂 They range in price and you can get them at most craft stores and Amazon.

 

8. A Craft Kit for them to complete

My niece wants to learn to make crochet animals so I got her something similar to this for Christmas:

9. Funny Coffee/Tea Mugs

I bought this one for my mom for her birthday. I thought it was hilarious 😂

10. Cute Keychains

Something like this is super cute and practical too. My sister got me a bookish keychain for my birthday and I LOVE it!!!

Bonus: Their book wish list. Simply ask your friend/family member if they have a book wish list, many of them will (formal or informal). I have a wish list that I add to and then take off when the library gets the book, or I decide I no longer want to read it. I usually only put books on it that I really want to own or my library doesn't have.

No matter your budget, big or small, these gift ideas should help get your gift buying juices flowing, LOL.

On a side note, I got all my fiction books out of their boxes this weekend, and on the shelves yesterday. I realized I have a book by an author with every letter of the alphabet, except X! How cool is that? I had never realized it before!!! It made my son jealous, LOL! I love that my kids are just as big of a book nerd as I am, LOL!!! We are a bookish family.
