Start with a candle that smells like books.
Theres a shop called Luminous Candles Company on etsy.com, a bustling online marketplace of handmade and vintage goods that I regularly blog about, just cause I love it—whether I'm shopping or window-shopping.
They offer for sale The Library Collection, a set of three 4-ounce soy candles scented, respectively, like Antique Books, New Books and Ancient Scroll.
Heres how they describe each scent. Antique books is "a leathery blend with cedarwood and patchouli. New Books has "the new book, just printed magazine smell." And Ancient Scroll smells of old parchment, frankincense and myrrh combined with sandalwood and more. The cost for this bibliocentric threesome is $24.
Okay, here are some more perfect prezies for the bookworm in your life—which may well be you.
Now let me just put this out there. My next pick is expensive. Like kind of break-the-bank expensive at $325. But it is so awesome, I have to share it.
f It comes to us from an item from the EclecticForestShop on etsy, Bookends Hands Holding Fire Flames Unique Lamp.
The name is unwieldy. The item is very cool—very 1930s heroic—and brings to mind a million inspiring quotes about reading and knowledge helping to illuminate the mind.
The next item is funky and retro and I'd like one in every color.
Was your favorite bibliophile around in the days when you filled out a card to check out a library books? Or are they connoisseurs of all things retro?
Then these Library Card Pillows in seven colors, from overdue orange to I'd -like-to-renew-this-book salmon and from paging-through-the-naughty-parts green to "Shhhhhh!" white.
They are offered by the the dirtsastudio shop on etsy.com for $30 each. Forget the book "What Color Is Your Parachute?" My question is, "What color is your pillow?"
There are many more bookish gifts I could list but just like a writer of fiction and nonfiction books must discern when a story is over, so must a blogger. And it's generally a lot quicker.
The end.
