Monday Miscellany: Bookish Christmas Gifts for Early Readers

It's often true that I am the dreaded Aunt that always gives books as gifts instead of toys - whups.  This Christmas, my sister-in-law told me that my nephew actually wants early reader books so you can imagine my glee!  To make the gift more fun, I glued the following inside the cover of each book:

I also wrote in the information on each, gave him some extras for future books, and of course a date stamper so he can have fun making it look like a real library card!  For those interested, after doing some research, these are the books that are being gifted:

National Geographic Kids: Polar Bears...how cool is it that National Geographic has early reader books on TONS of different subjects??

Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure!  - I remember my little sister loving Flat Stanley as a kiddo.

Ride, Fly Guy, Ride!  This one is just super fun :)

Ellray Jakes Walks the Plank!

The Legend of Diamond Lil...this one is more of a beginning chapter book - and who doesn't love a mystery?

The Cat on the Mat is Flat...this one is also a longer book but looks super-fun!

I also bought him a few early readers from Target that feature superheroes because I know that he loves Spiderman!  Hopefully he likes his gift and becomes a little bookworm like his Aunt Kat :)

Bookish Christmas Gifts Part 2

Now that Black Friday is almost here, I thought I'd share a few more bookish gift ideas with you folks (click on the photos to be taken to the site)!  First up, is the Mini Modern Classics box set which includes short stories from the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and P. G. Wodehouse.

 

The person on your list isn't a short story fan...how about some bookish art?

Or perhaps a favorite author portrait?

For the computer-savvy bookworm, a Don Quixote Macbook decal

For a bookworm who loves accessories

Or the Harry Potter fan who loves accessories

Time Turner Necklace

Lastly, how about some stylish bookends?
