What will Santa bring this year?

Yes, it’s that time of the year when you see Christmassy decorations everywhere! Even though it’s considered one of the best times of the year, for some (including myself) it’s also a time of intense struggles to find the most appropriate presents for family and friends. That’s why I have compiled a list of present ideas that I inspired me and I hope will inspire you as well 🙂

§ Pillow with a secret book pocket

The decorative pillows with a secret book pocket are created by a Romanian handcrafter – ChicCitta. They cost 40-43 RON (around €10) and you can order them on Breslo.

§ Cute little pins

If you have a friend who wears pins, why not buy him/her a literary pin? I’ve found these cute ones on etsy for only £7.50.

§ The classic mug gift

Who wouldn’t like a cool mug? It can be quite a special gift if you add a personal touch to it. I’ve found some very nice examples of mugs on etsy and theliterarygiftcompany, with prices starting from £7. If I were to choose, I’d prefer these two mugs:

§ Merlot Wine Starter Kit

This can be a great present for a couple, or why not for you and your significant one. The starter kit comes with a bottle of wine, two wine glasses labelled “You had me at Merlot“, a set of 4 coasters also labelled with nice messages, for example, “This wine is making me awesome“, 2 postal cards, and a small guide. You can buy it from wineful.ro for 129 RON (around €28).

§ Book cover wallet

These leather wallets that look like vintage books can hold your credit cards, change and all small things you want to keep with you at all time. Apart from the fact that they look lovely, you can also customize them by choosing the button you prefer. You can find them on etsy with £32.
