A Bookish Gift Guide from Bex Hogan

Hello everybody! Day 10 of blogmas!!! Since last posting dates are swiftly approaching, I figured I should probably share this gift guide from YA author Bex Hogan in case anyone is looking for a last minute treat for your favourite bookworm. Onto the post!

It’s my favourite time of the year! I am such a sucker for all things festive and especially enjoy searching for special gifts for my loved ones. I try to support small businesses as much as possible, so thought today I would share some of my top finds for the bookish person in your life!

We all love a good book-themed candle, right? I love this one from PretAGeek: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/700691692/book-lover-candle-125ml-bookish-candles?click_key=9c6b12e67e93a8339ef91e0f8d6421d6676545c1%3A700691692&click_sum=779a3cca&ref=shop_home_active_35&sts=1

I’m also very fond of this one from TheVintageBookCandle: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1308241660/wuthering-heights-emily-bronte-bookish?click_key=65e2d5de6e90c3af4aeb04f5e9c18bcf32d34bb9%3A1308241660&click_sum=473d0fdb&ref=shop_home_active_7&crt=1

Pins are a fantastic little gift – they don’t take up too much room, so you can always find a home for them! When I was Christmas shopping last year, I found this one and had to have it myself! Persuasion is one of my absolute favourites! From itslauracrow: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1041357305/half-agony-half-hope-jane-austen-enamel?click_key=56471d5a0ae26606c171b43a226e9f539a352dd8%3A1041357305&click_sum=9dbc6226&ref=shop_home_recs_19

It’s lovely to come across some merch for a UKYA fantasy! A Throne of Swans by Katharine and Elizabeth Corr is such a brilliant book, and I love this pin from LitPinsandCo: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1013651056/atratys-house-crest-a-throne-of-swans-a?click_key=d6305beeb2d332f5ab978431b44d86cca39a831c%3A1013651056&click_sum=51cca5bb&ref=shop_home_active_60

A tote is an essential for book buying! And you can never have too many! These are just a couple of fab ones in an ocean of amazing totes!

From BookishlyUK: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/951227108/literary-tote-bag-is-it-insomnia-or-is?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=bookish+tote&ref=sr_gallery-5-17&frs=1&edd=1&organic_search_click=1

From BookishlyDreaming: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1209462584/bookish-tote-bag-midnight-reader?click_key=15034a66089a8ca85bbed6c73fd558a6a0612f15%3A1209462584&click_sum=dbcfa289&ref=shop_home_recs_21

If you’re anything like me, you have loads of bookmarks but can never actually find one when you need it! The solution? Buy more! I love the foil on these ones from QuoteandQuillShop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1308413704/pride-and-prejudice-rose-gold-foil?click_key=fdf76ea56823594d165c0634c768515f69a3f074%3A1308413704&click_sum=4d15849f&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1&crt=1

And if you’re after something a little more special, what about this from AgniPrasadaBurning? https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/512586933/handmade-wooden-bee-bookmark-mothers-day?click_key=bf3bb64b1f87bd082741d4c6a45043a1c5b8f1d5%3A512586933&click_sum=faa1dfd9&ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1&crt=1&sts=1

If you’re still looking for inspiration may I suggest literally everything on LiteraryEmporium’s website? From jewellery to clothes, they have everything a bookworm could desire! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LiteraryEmporium?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1215358171

Or else, just head to Etsy and have fun discovering new sellers! There are so many wonderful creators making beautiful products.

And of course, I can’t talk about presents for book lovers without mentioning books themselves! Please support your local bookshops where at all possible – you’ll make their Christmas!
