Gift Ideas: Literary Gifts for Teachers

Bookish Gifts for Christmas

It’s getting to that time of the year when you need to start planning what you want to give to your teachers.
That is, if you want to get that extra credit and survive the semester/year!
BookRiot came up with a great list of some things that you can give to your teacher!
I honestly love all of them!

Or you can surprise them with a late acceptance to Hogwarts *winks*.

Bookish Gifts for Christmas

With Christmas  just over a month away, it’s time to start thinking about gifts.

No no, I’m not saying that you need to get out and shop yet, but you need to start planning. Especially if you’re looking to buy something handmade for that special someone this year. Some of these wonderful gift ideas take a few weeks processing time and it will get worse as we get closer to Christmas, so you might want to place that order soon!

I compiled a list of some of my favorite book-ish goods that I’ve found all over and thought you may like as well!


Candles

Candles are incredibly popular this year and seem to be on the rise, especially in the amount of shops that are out there! So I pulled a few together that make some wonderful products! Some of them do have discount codes but they change with time. You can access them if you check out these wonderful stores Instagram pages or send me an

email/tweet and I’ll find one for you (you can get between 5-20% off an order!)

Secret Santa!!!

Just as promised, my Secret Santa gift reveal!!

First off, I would really like to thank Abigail Thomas and Cathleen Slagle for hosting this Secret Santa this year. it was so easy and was so much fun!!!! It’s amazing how all these bloggers could come together and do a Secret Santa, and everyone is a different kind of blog niche, so how fun!

Second, I would like to thank my Secret Santa….drumroll please…..

Amber from theamberlynn.blogspot.com.

A little bit about her…

Hello! I’m Amber, a quirky young adult (Key word being young). I love life and what it gives to me. This is my life and I try to live it in the most positive way I can. Join me in all things lifestyle. Just a few examples: Food, fashion, inspiration, music, quotes, family, and friends.

-From her website

Best part is, she’s a college student like me so how exciting!

And don’t forget to check out her TWITTER, PINTEREST and INSTAGRAM!

Now, without further a-do, the really wonderful gifts which she sent my way!

Hmm…wonder what will be inside?

 

OMG!

 

Tea

 

FUZZY SOCKS!!!!

 

And a bling key chain…YES!

 

A tea mug and cat key chain, what’s better?

 

My favorite type of pens and a bookmark!

 

A mini journal! One I’ve wanted to buy, but never can rationalize!

 

Am I the only one seeing the Deathly Hallows as a Christmas Tree? Love it!

 

I LOVE IT! Like a lot!


A Birthday and A Surprise for Me…and Later for You!

So today is my birthday and after trudging through the snow to get home with the nasty snow storm which magically appeared over night, I came home only to find my Secret Santa gift having arrived. Since it was a small birthday this year, it was wonderful to get this little surprise and of course I had to open it up.

Inside was…..just kidding!!! You’re going to need to check back on Christmas Day to find out who my absolutely wonderful Secret Santa was as well as what goodies I was gifted!

Is this a shameless plug to get you to check back on Christmas Day when you are opening your own gifts? You can bet it is! Because I want to make sure everyone goes and checks out my Secret Santa’s website because it rocks. That will be one of my gifts to you.

But you’ll need to wait. Painful, huh?

It’s like seeing that big gift under the tree 10 days before Christmas that your estranged aunt had delivered and you are just dying to know what is inside.

Go have an egg-nog while you wait!
