Gift Guide: Bookworm

If I could sit and read all day, I totally would. If there wasn't a job to go to, a side business to run, or a house to clean, I would be eating Doritos and soaking up the words of JK Rowling and the Bronte sisters. And speaking of literary situations, we had a waiter at Buffalo Wild Wings last month who was named Gage, after the character in Pet Sematary. Gage. The zombie little boy who comes back from the dead to kill his own parents. Nope, nothing weird about that!

Anywho, bookworms can be hard to shop for if you're not one. Aside from gifting us the obvious (books--or a Kindle if you're feeling especially charitable), you might be stuck, so I tracked down some suggestions:


Book prints similar to this one have been popping up more and more lately, but this is the first I've seen of a literary character. Plus, it's only $10 for an 8x10. Score!


Maybe you're super cool and Jane Eyre is your second-favorite book ever (right after Harry Potter, which obviously counts as one epic tome). Or maybe you just know somebody who would like this necklace (HINT, HINT). Either way, a sterling silver Jane accessory might not be a bad idea. $25, including the chain.


It's kind of a splurge at $120, plus shipping, but how awesome would it be to have a vintage card catalog in your house? Um, really awesome.

What are you getting the bookworms on your list?
