Uh oh. It’s that time of year again. Baubles. Tinsel. The C word…
Only joking! I bloomin’ love Christmas… the mulled wine, the carols, the good cheer, the hunt for perfect presents. But it’s when it comes to Secret Santa that I always get most exited- the chance to get someone the perfect gift and watch as they try to figure out who their Santa is! So, to get you in the swing of things, here’s a bunch of Secret Santa bookish gift ideas for a range of different prices – from skinted to minted…
£5 ish
Harry Potter Ministry Of Magic Toilet Decal
This brilliant Harry Potter sticker for the back of the loo has to be the best jokey gift for any HP superfan!
A gorgeous pin that’s available in a range of different colours and quotes, so you can tailor it perfectly. My fave is this beautiful bookish quote from Virginia Woolf.
£10 ish
If you happen to choose the colleague who is always nicking your favourite mug for their mid-morning cuppa, then this is the gift for you. The perfect penguin mug – choose between a range of colours and titles. I love this bright, happy yellow for Country Life by H. E. Bates.
Book Lover Friendship Bracelet
Looking for something dainty, pretty and a little bit special? This Book Lover Friendship Bracelet should be perfect. Choose between a red, blue or grey cord, and watch as their face lights up at the lovely quote from Louisa May Alcott on the backing card – “She is too fond of books and it has turned her brain”.
£20 ish
I just think these bookmarks are absolutely gorgeous and would make any book-lover’s Christmas dreams come true. My fave is the little 24 carat gold acorn- but the other designs are stunning too- in both silver and gold.
A beautiful gift for anyone- this is one of those presents that you can make work no matter who you pull out of the hat. Just spend a bit of time choosing the perfect quote- and you might just graduate as the best Secret-Santa ever.
£50 ish
Solid Silver Personalised Bookmark
I mean- who wouldn’t want one? Choose the perfect message to engrave have engraved- add a tassel and you’re done! Who wouldn’t want one? And this is one of those gifts that you’d treasure forever.
One for your library-loving colleagues – this is really for the true book-addict. Available in black, taupe or cream – this gift is both stylish, practical and truly geeky!
£ When There’s Just No Limit
1 Year Illumicrate Subscription
Make your Secret Santa gift keep on giving all year around, and arrange for 4 bookish subscription boxes to arrive throughout the coming year… just make a little gift card to let them know what you’ve set up for them, and watch their face light up!
