Wearable words from Litographs

Litographs sell clothing and scarves printed with words from over 200 classic books. Would you like to wear words from The Great Gatsby or Sherlock Holmes? Some garments incorporate pictures too. If you're a writer, you can even upload your own story and have it made into a scarf or a T-shirt.

Chocolate from The Amazing Chocolate Workshop

Okay, so this one isn't strictly book-related, but some of my books have horses and guns and skulls in the, so I'm claiming it. The Amazing Chocolate Workshop is based in the UK, but they do ship internationally, and their creations taste as good as they look – yes, I even sampled the box above for you! You can buy everything from a fried egg to a corkscrew, all made out of chocolate, and they do look super-realistic. Perfect for the chocolate-lover in your life!

Handmade lace bookmarks from Tatania Rosa

While I was looking for prizes for my Roses are Dead giveaway, I came across these beautiful tatting lace bookmarks. They're so delicate and beautiful, and handmade too. A great present for the bookworm in your life!

Blackwood goodies

Did you know that all my books are available in paperback? They make a great gift and look pretty on the bookshelf too 🙂 I'm happy to send out a signed bookplate if you email me proof of purchase.

I also sell Blackwood mugs, buttons, tote bags, memory sticks, and T-shirts in my Zazzle store 🙂

And for the Emmy in your life…

I found an Easy store with cute sweary stuff! Katie Abey Design sells stickers, badges, and cards. I *may* have some of the stickers on my laptop.

Tough clothing and bags for men and women

If Bradley didn't buy Emmy's clothes, she'd probably do all her shopping at 5.11 Tactical. I have the skull T-shirt (the little dots are actually cartridge cases – really funky). If you or your loved one needs clothing suitable for walking the dog or staging a coup in a small country, why not take a look?

Headlamp (I know, I know, bear with me…)

Okay, I know this doesn't look like a typical Christmas gift. But my dad gave me one a few years back and it's been the most useful present I've ever received. It's only small, so it lives in my handbag, and I use it for everything from hunting for Trev in the dark to finding may way home from the pub late at night. Much better than a box of chocolates or another pair of gloves (that usually don't fit).

Buy from Amazon HERE.

Unicorn socks

Because every girl needs unicorn socks. Need I say more?

Buy from Amazon HERE.

Sorry I'm late… mug

I had this mug. I loved this mug. It basically tells the story of my life. But my other half broke the mug, so I'm basically putting it here in the hope that he sees it and buys me another one.

If you'd like one too, you can buy it HERE.

Orgone generator

One of my readers makes orgone generators, which are not only super pretty, they can also help to reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation from the environment. I have one on my desk and another I wear as a pendant. An unusual gift, handmade and one-of-a kind.

Find out more HERE.

Happy shopping!

    Have you seen this shirt? I love that it looks typewritten. My oldest and I have a couple Crazy Dog shirts – super soft. I’ve held off on buying this one as I’m afraid I’d get sassy enough one Friday to wear it under my logoed pullover on casual Friday, forget what t-shirt it is, take off the pullover because I always get hot, and get in trouble despite the lack of dress code. My common sense angel told me it wasn’t quite Fortune 500 wear. Stupid practicality.

    • Love it!

      I once ran out of clean shirts and wore one to work that said “I’m sorry, it’s just that I literally don’t care.” Then the AC was broken and I couldn’t take my sweatshirt off all day!

    Wow; Now I have more ideas… Was racking my brain for this year’s Christmas gifts for everyone…
