"She is too fond of books ..."

"She is too fond of books, & it has turned her brain," Louisa M Alcott

Know anyone in your family this could apply to?
There are a few in mine, not discounting myself.

 The Literary Gift Company is a place I stumbled upon whilst trying to find The Penguin Board Game to buy for our family Christmas this year. The game looks perfect for our family of book readers, competitive game players and penguin lovers. First to collect, beg, borrow or steal 6 books is the winner.

Enticed by the offer of free postage if I spent another £1.05, I clicked away and had difficulty stopping.
Here are some ideas that caught my eye and may be helpful present ideas for you too.

The Penguin Board Game.
A mug that may not be polite, but talks straight.
Tea towels guaranteed to cheer up the washing up.
A poster sized map of the literary writers of the UK, fascinating to explore.
Parcel tape that says it all.
Scrabble cufflinks, perfect for a man in your life.
A journal for witty thoughts and secrets.
Is it a book or is it a handbag?
