This week's topic is:
Best Non-Book Gifts for Readers:
I think the answer to this question depends mostly on the reader in question. So, I'm going to answer this question as if it pertained to me :)
Tea!
(Because I don't like coffee! Yuck!) I especially love Vanilla Chai Tea. I also enjoy a tried and true Orange Pekoe :)
Stationary!
Along with my love of books comes a love of all things paper :) Whether it be cards, note books or a plain old ream of computer paper, I don't care. I just love me some stationary!
Pens!
Pens kind of go with stationary but I count them as a completely different item. I love a good pen that writes smoothly and dries quickly. There's nothing worse than a smeary pen!
Time!
There is no better gift than the gift of time. Just spend time with me. We can have a cup of that tea I was talking about and chat about the weather. We can go for a walk and talk about how much weight we need to lose. Or we can just sit together and watch an episode of Prodigal Son. Time is precious :)
So, would you say is the best non-book gift for readers?

Tea was on my list, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd time is another great answer.

Time is the greatest gift of all.
ReplyDeletePaper products and pens are a great idea. I always have journals and fun-colored gel pens on my gift lists.
ReplyDeleteSo funny ... so many people suggested tea. Are all bookish folks also tea drinkers? I feel like we should have a poll :-)
ReplyDeleteTea and time! And yes, I think an awful lot of readers are also tea-drinkers.
ReplyDeleteMy list is here.
I am a total pen hog. I love pens and love when I find one that writes just right. So yes. I agree!
ReplyDeleteI do like a good pen. I run mine into the ground.
ReplyDeleteI love coffee but I also adore herbal tea especially ones with cinnamon or ginger in them. Yes to stationery too!
ReplyDeletePens and time. They're great ones!
