LOOKING FOR A GIFT FOR A BOOK LOVER?

Oh, boy, have I have a website for you. The Literary Gift Company came my way by chance last week and I want you to know that I'm not on commission and I don't know anyone who's involved with the company, but the treasures I found there were such fun that I wanted to share them with you.

For instance are you going to a wedding, know someone whose getting married this year?  How about literary confetti?

Heart-shaped pieces are cut up from old Mills and Boon novels.   - how appropriate! This generous helping of romantic confetti comes in a pocket-sized box.  I quote from the website -

"When their bodies were touching it felt so...so right. As if she were coming home, as if she belonged here." Kate Hardy, Nurse Bride: Bayside Wedding.

- as a sample of what you'll get.  Actually, that's a Gil Sanderson title, but Kate's blog is always worth a visit!

And then there's the book wallet.  Each one is individually made and you might be lucky enough to find your favourite author.  How about this one, for instance?

Just the thing to keep your money comfy and the library ticket will feel right at home.

The store has a ton of fun stuff for the book lovers -- and if my dh is reading this as he wonders what little special something he might buy me for Valentine's Day he should look no further than this rather smart handbag...

There are mugs, posters, "banned book" jewellery, even, blissfully this "Ladybird" Tea Towel that will have us all sighing with nostalgia for that bygone age when Janet helped Mummy with the washing up and John helped Daddy wash the car.  Now, obviously, they're both too busy surfing the 'net.

Don't take my word for it, go to The Literary Gift Company and treat yourself!
