[read] 12 Days of Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Bookworm
Maybe for this year’s Secret Santa, you pulled the name of the guy at work who always eats lunch with his nose buried in a book. Or maybe your best friend is constantly quoting Shakespeare. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Here are 12 literary-themed gift ideas, all available at Watermark Books & Cafe (4701 E. Douglas):
1. Edgar Allen Poe finger puppet/refrigerator magnet – $6.50: This one is fun for adults and children alike. Entertain your toddler with “The Raven” puppet show! “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary…”
2. Ideas reporter notebooks – $8.25 each: These little flip notebooks with colorful covers and inspiring quotes are perfect for writing down all those day-to-day brilliant notions.
3. Stuff White People Like 2010 daily calendar – $13.99: Hummus, scarves, dinner parties…the list of “stuff white people like” goes on and on – enough to fill a calendar. This would be sure to give anyone a little chuckle every day.
4. The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz – $17.99: Maybe your bookworm is branching out and just got his very own Beatles Rock Band game. This book will make the game experience even more exciting.
5. Weighted bookmark – $8.50: Available in various colors, this bookmark will hold the pages of a book open, freeing up your hands for other important things. It would be especially helpful for use with cookbooks.
6. Go Fish for Art cards – $12.25: This is a Go Fish game for adults (or really ambitious children); each card contains facts about about various works of art. There are three different decks available: Impressionists, Modern Artists and VanGogh & Friends.
7. Jane Austen action figure – $11.75: Perfect for the bookworm who’s read and loved Pride and Prejudice and all of Austen’s other novels. Also, she comes complete with writing desk and quill pen! Kapow!
8. The Onion Front Pages: 1988-2008 – $28: Experience the glorious snark of The Onion all over again.
9. Mini clip-on book light – $10.75: This may seem dorky, but my boyfriend introduced me to the wonders of the clip-on book light a couple years ago and I love it. Great for the bookworm who reads herself to sleep.
10. Great Writers magnet set – $8.95: This nifty magnet set features the faces of Poe, Herman Melville, William Shakespeare and Walt Whitman.
11. The Pizza Hut Story by Robert Spector - $40: Too bad they don’t have “Book It!” for adults – this would be a perfect way to earn one of those gold stars. My favorite part of this book is that it is packaged in a pizza box, but I bet it would be just as good once you cracked it open.
12. 365 Days of Procrastination notepad – $13.99: This little item is billed as the “Not to do notepad” and it’s perfect for anyone whose mantra is, “There’s always tomorrow.”
