It’s DECEMBER. What on earth? Also, hey, it’s Cyber Monday! We’re going to do something a little different this second day of December: a romance gift guide! Some of us have way too many books, and will cry in the bad way if you try to foist more upon us before we’re ready. Instead, use your gift funds wisely with some of these amazing pieces from a bunch of independent retailers!
(Some of these are Etsy dealers who make these for a bunch of genres, some are romance-specific folks, and some…just are.)
Start the year out with this gorgeous calendar. I might have just bought one.
And of course, we always need new mugs for our preferred warm beverage of choice…
If you can’t get enough of Alex and Henry, you can say “History, Huh?” to your coffee every morning. (And uh…if anyone wants to get me one…You know where to find me.)
“Of Course I wasn’t staying up late reading romance novels”
“I’m just going to drink this and read a romance novel”
“Read Romance, Fight Patriarchy” (also comes in an array of other things like tshirts and tote bags)
And speaking of warm beverages of choice, The Ripped Bodice has this brilliant Trope Tea with flavors like “This Kiss Was Only Supposed to Be Instructive” and “My Childhood Friend Is Hot Now” 😀
Need to carry your books around? How about a #Romancelandia tote?
Do you know someone who loves surprises? Send them a holiday book box from Love’s Sweet Arrow!
Do you know someone who likes enamel pins? You can get a bunch of different ones from Jane Mount of The Ideal Bookshelf (like this cute Pride and Prejudice one or this gorgeous one for Their Eyes Were Watching God)
And if you want to do something super duper special for a special someone, you can get someone a custom painting (or give them a gift card to get their own) of their favorite book spines to hang anywhere they want. Here’s mine:
(Yes, An Extraordinary Union is in it. No, I’m not sorry.) (And honestly, if it had been a year later, there might have been more romance in it lolsob)
If that’s a bit pricey, Here’s a great piece of art featuring the best Lisa Kleypas quote.
And of course, as we all know…we need diverse romance.
