For the booklovers on your list
A few things too good not to share...
Out of Print Clothing has produced some fabulous tshirts featuring their interpretations of classic book covers. I gave Maddy the Pride and Prejudice one for her birthday and she loved it. Wouldn't your bookgroup best friend or English major niece love one?
. . .
Check out this lovely wreath made from the pages of books! I just ordered one for our front room/library and I couldn't resist sharing it in case someone else loves it as much as I do. This one will probably stay up on our walls all year long.
. . .
Who wouldn't love receiving one of these gorgeous, cloth-bound Penguin classics with covers designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith? It might be just the thing for helping someone start a collection. Maybe one a year for ten years?
. . .
Or for the journal/book writer on your list, this set of three blank books provides an excellent canvas. This was under the tree for Maddy last year and she's had a lovely time filling each book with its own content, chapter style.
Speaking of books, look at this marvelous idea for a children's book advent calendar--you can use holiday books you already have, library books, whatever you'd like. What a charming idea! I think even my teens and tweens would love to revisit one book from their childhood Christmases every night of December.

ooh, I plan on using a few of these ideas. Thanks Annie!
Oh, man--I've had this tutorial bookmarked for...well...is it December already?...about a year. It's still cozy in the folder with all of the other undone craft projects. Your post has inspired me, though. Consider the fire LIT.
LOVELY post. Heading over to those Penguin classics now!
Why did I not stop in sooner today? I have my book club book exchange tomorrow night and would be the hit of the party if I showed up with one of those great Penguin Classics. Too late now to order on Amazon. Maybe a local book store will have something in stock tomorrow. You always have the greatest ideas Annie. Thank you for sharing!
