Gift Guide for Book Nerds
Need a bookish gift or two for family or friends, or for yourself? Here are links to a dozen+ of our favorites …
Some of these are gifts we sell in our own Read+Purr Shop or our Bookshop storefront; some are affiliate links* for companies we believe in and support with our own gift-buying dollars; and others are simply items we love. In all cases, we think you will adore these companies and these bookish gifts as much as we do.
* Meaning, of course, that if you purchase something using one of our affiliate links, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. It’s a win-win-win, really.
