Holiday Gift Guide! (And Gift Pick #1)
It's one of my favorite times of the year: vicarious shopping week! Yes, dear readers, it's time for our Annual Holiday Gift Guide, where I feature eight book-related items that I would personally quite like to receive as gifts. This year I've been trying to focus on buying less new, single-use stuff, so everything on this list will be either A) used/vintage, or B) consumable...
Cute~
I like these "Hero Bookends" from Uncommon Goods. (There's a "Heroine" one, too, don't worry.) They're cute, eye-catching, and, at $25, they'd make reasonably priced gifts...
Holiday Gift Pick #4
Gift Pick #4: Stained Wooden Mountain Bookends by Spilled Milk Designs ($24)
Etsy is awash in beautiful, handmade bookends, but we fell in love with the simple elegance of these mountain-shaped options...
Pre-holiday shopping (for me)

Holiday Gift Guide: Animal Bookends
Gift Idea #6: Zuny Bookends
Zuny Bookends are cheerful and sturdy (they're made of synthetic leather, so your kid would need to put in some serious effort to chew through one), and come in pretty much whatever animal form you can think of...
Mostly ridiculous, a little bit sublime
I love these bookends from Anthropologie, but, like so many of things sold at that store, they are ridiculously overpriced. They're priced between $168 and $228, because adding fake snow apparently adds sixty bucks to the already inflated cost. However, I'm pretty sure this is one of the rare craft projects I could actually duplicate...
Mixed company
If you're in the market for a thematically-appropriate pair of bookends to contain your collection of nonfiction books on the American electoral process (and who isn't?), look no further than these "Left and Right" bookends from CB2. Apart from that $40 price tag, they're pretty cute, huh?
