    I’ve seen all of these while shopping for others and thought… I could have that.

    I would add a favourite novel done like this: http://www.spinelessclassics.com.au/

    I keep hinting but no one’s hearing me yet!

      Love the ideas.
      And Belinda. That spinelessclassics thing is the. most. amazing. thing ever!

      Very cool Belinda! And yeah, I keep finding super cool pressies that I’D like, when I’m supposed to be shopping for family and friends.

      However….. maybe if I buy them anyway they could “regift” them my way 😉

    Fab collection Anna – that decision-making paperweight appeals to the procrastinator in me!

    If we add these to the ones I found for my own post – http://www.everywordcounts.co.uk/7-cool-christmas-gift-ideas-writers/ – we’d be able to keep every word nerd happy this Christmas 🙂

    My wife would love an Alice in Wonderland scarf. And we have a couple of little ones, so the coffee cup warmer would really come in handy! (most of the tea and coffee we drink at home ends up being lukewarm or cold…)

    Thanks for the tips!

    Ah yes… cold “hot” drinks. The story of my life!

    I hope you’ve added these to your birthday/Christmas wishlists for the year 😉
