Top 4 Book Gifts - Holiday Gift Guide



For the book lovers in your life (or maybe that's you!), I've got some fun books to give and book-related items to give this holiday season.

1. The Great Gatsby East and West Egg Necklace from Out of Print Clothing
This funky take on the traditional friendship necklace is egg-shaped with the word "West" on one half and "East" on the other. Turn over each half to find the names "Daisy" and "Jay". Comes in silver or gold for $30.


2. #Read and Book Nerd T-shirts from Gibb Smith
Let the world know how much you love books with either of these cool T-shirts. Each is $20, and additional styles are also available.



3. Coloring Books for Adults from multiple publishers
The big trend this year: coloring books for adults. I saw a lot of different coloring books at BEA, and now even Crayola is getting in on the trend with coloring books coming out by year's end! These are not little kid coloring books. These have fun designs and patterns to color that help relax and de-stress you.


4. Books!
