Bookish Goodies on a Sunday

If you're a regular reader of the blog then you'll know that I flipping love a bookish or cult TV/Movie or comic themed product!

Today I'm sharing a few of my fav bookish goodies. They cost less than £10 each so make great low cost gifts!

First up this cute The Book Was Better Enamel Pin from Punky Pins Book Lovers range! Mine was a gift from my Mum but it's a steal at £7.00 on their website.

I picked up the As You Like It - All the World's a Stage pen in London a couple of years ago and only recently started using it. You can grab something similar for around £2.00 at Shakespeare's Globe.

This Alice in Wonderland mini Drink Me glass bottle necklace came on a silver chain as part of an Alice cosplay costume, but you can grab a much cheaper one for a few pounds on eBay, Etsy or Amazon.

I purchased the Batman comic notebook at London Film and Comic Con last year for a fiver! It has Batman on side and Catwoman on the other. Amazon has a pretty rocking selection of comic themed notebooks.

Christmas Bookish Gifts

Christmassy gift ideas for the book lover in your life

“She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.” ― Louisa May Alcott, Work: A Story of Experience

✨ Go away I'm reading merchandise - there's a wonderful selection available on Etsy but I picked up this fab tote bag from my local library a couple of years ago, before getting it signed by some of my favourite authors at YALC and then popping it in lovely frame!

✨ Book Lover Gifts have some quirky ideas - I particularly like this Sherlock Holmes quote scarf!

✨ The Literary Gift Company have lots of book themed treats - I love their wonderful range of jewellery! 

✨ You can't beat giving an actual book but if the book geek in your is anything like me then they'll already have shelves full of the beauties so why not give them a voucher or token to pick their own? I'm a big fan of National Book Tokens and they can always be trusted t have lots of awesome bookish competitions!

✨ How about a Shakespearian Insults Picture? I found this beauty on Redbubble here but you can pick these up all over the place...
