“There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
A few weeks ago I floated the idea of Bookentine’s Day on social media – a day to celebrate our love of all things books. Let’s make it official, and call February 15, 2024 the first annual Bookentine’s Day! Although I know it’s less than twenty-four hours from now, here are a few fun gifts that you can check out for a book lover in your life – especially if that book lover is you! And if none of these strike your fancy, you can browse more here. Happy Valentine’s Day, book buddies! Wishing you all the love in the world.
Book Bags about Books!
I admit it, I am a “bagaholic.” I love totes and purses and pouches of all kinds. Here are a few that I am adding to my wish list. What do you think of these?
“There is no such thing as too many books.” This might be my favorite item on the list. First, the sentiment validates my lifestyle (lol). Also, I love the pretty springtime colors. And it comes with a coffee cup! You can see it here on Amazon.
“Just one more chapter” cosmetic bag. Pens, pencils, note cards… anything can go into this cosmetic bag, including actual cosmetics! Check it out here.
Little Women Tote – This tote comes in multiple designs, including Pride and Prejudice, Beauty and the Beast, Murder on the Orient Express, and more. See them all here.
The Bookish Home
It’s fun to share our love of books in places other than our bookshelves. Here are a couple of pretty and cozy items for your book-loving heart.
“Books are my love language” candle. This definitely sets a mood! Fill the bath, light a candle, grab your book. Sounds good to me. See it here.
“The Art of Flowers” book vase – It fits on your bookshelf and holds pretty flowers. Love it. See it here.
Wear Your Love of Books
Wear your love of books on your heart, your sleeve… your feet. Any place you darn well choose.
“Shhh… I’m reading” socks – You don’t even have to say a word. Just point your feet towards the door, and read undisturbed. What a great idea. Find them here.
“Single Taken Reading” T-Shirt – Whatever your relationship status, this is the one that matters: you’re reading, and that’s all people need to know. Comes in a variety of colors and sizes. See them all here.
“Once Upon a Time” necklace – These four words can stop the heart of any book lover. Treat yourself, or someone you love, to this pretty piece. Comes in gold and silver. Find it here.
Book Marks
No bookish list would be complete without some bookmarks. Here are a few that struck my fancy. You can see more here.
Cat Bookmark – Books and cats go together like… well, books and cats. Seven different designs. Find them here.
“Drink good coffee, read good books.” This is pretty much my life motto. Find the bookmark here.
Vintage Library Card Bookmark – No book lover, who’s my age or older, can forget the marvelous sound of a due date being stamped on a library card. This is a pretty and fun blast from the past. Find it here.
Do any of these strike your fancy? Let me know in the comments. And here’s to a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and the timeless enchantment found within the pages of a good book.
