Bookish Gifts I Would Love to Receive For Christmas

I don't like it when people buy me actual books for Christmas unless they are 100% certain it is something I want to read. I'm pretty picky. However, bookish gifts are the best.

Flower reading lamps:


1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die Book
Any bookish t-shrit from Out of Print Clothing

A fun new bookcase

A to Z bookends

  1. LOVE those bookends! I know what you mean about not wanting people to buy the books for me. Unless it's my dad who seems to find books I wouldn't have picked up but that I end up loving. He gets a pass.

  2. I asked for a t-shirt or sweatshirt from Out of Print Clothing for Christmas. I love their stuff!

  3. Red, Me too! I've wanted them ever since I saw them a few months back.

    Avid Reader, Let me know what you get! I love that store.

  4. I don't get books for Christmas - like you I'm pretty picky about what I read; also people are afraid of enabling my bookaholism :-)

    A nice chair to curl up and read in would be the perfect thing to go with those pretty lamps.

  5. I agree with your feelings about books. One year I got the same book twice from the same person and it was poetry (something I have never really ventured into). Did I mention that I had a third copy of it at home which I showed that person about the year prior to?

    The bookcase you have posted is beautiful. I'd love to own one like that some day as well.

  6. Suzanne, I know I like those little lamps. I think they would work best on a nightstand.

    Eclectic, That's why I don't like to ask for books for Christmas! But giftcards are always good!

    Nymeth, Me too!

  7. I broke down and bought myself the new edition of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die and am starting a long, long process of reading them in 2011 (I plan on taking 40 years.)

  9. nomadreader, I am jealous! If I don't get it for Christmas I am going to buy it for myself.

    historyofshe, I think I'll be lucky if I get one :)

  10. I'd LOVE a Gatsby shirt, but the colors are not manly enough!

  11. Ben, I'm going to go ahead and agree with you on that one. However there are other "manly" colored shirts if you care to peruse the site (linked above).

  15. I love Out of Print Clothing! I order the P&P sweater last week and am crossing my finger that it arrives next week so I can enjoy it's comfiness during the week off.
