Reading, at least in my house, is an essential part of the season. I mean, what could be nicer than curling up by the fire with a glass of red wine, an open tin of chocolates, and a good book? Nothing, that's what.
It also (almost) goes without saying that Christmas isn't Christmas without a stack of shiny new books underneath the tree. You'd be hard pressed to find a better – and more versatile – gift than a book. They work for all ages (picture books for the very young, large-print or audiobooks for the old), cater for every taste, and require no assembly or batteries. If you're a really bookish sort, here are five ways to make your Christmas even more literary.
1. These Christmas tree decorations give old, unloved books a new lease of life. Each tree is made from a complete book and comes with a book page star on the top. The set comprises of a large, medium and small tree, measuring between 13 and 6.5 inches tall. Available for approximately £32 from Anothology On Main at Etsy.
2. How to accessorise your Christmas outfit while also proclaiming your love of literature? With a book purse, of course. This neat little bag is made from a leather-bound copy of Charles Dickens' yuletide favourite A Christmas Carol. The purse is handmade and comes with a choice of handles and buttons (for the elastic closure). It costs around £36 from Novel Creations at Etsy.
