BOOKISH GIFT LIST: HERS
1. KAST BOOKCASE BY MAARTIN VAN SEVERIN
The smart but soft color palette of this Vitra bookcase seems ideal for a girl's library. It comes in several configurations.
2. MORRISSEY QUOTE POSTER
A poster featuring a quote from the famously bookish Morrissey. The line comes from the song "Handsome Devil", is printed large on blue paper, and sums up a certain mentality quite nicely.
3. BL3 FLOOR LAMP BY BESTLITE
Simple and modern, while still carrying itself with elegance and charm, the BL3 is the quintessential English reading lamp. It figures, though, that it takes the craftsmanship of the Danes to produce it today.
4. LIBRARY SCENTED PERFUME
The good folks at CB I Hate Perfume prefer scents of everyday things to the unreal blends of traditional perfume. In the Library is a warm blend of English Novel , Russian & Moroccan Leather Bindings, Worn Cloth and a hint of Wood Polish. A little on the wrists will let a girl take her library with her everywhere she goes.
5. A-BOOK-A-MONTH FROM PERSEPHONE BOOKS
Persephone Books issue beautiful editions of classic books by neglected female authors. They're bound in thick grey paper with patterned endpapers culled from archival fabrics & wallpapers. A 6 or 12 month gift subscription means a different book gets posted in the mail from the very scenic Persephone bookshop every month. You can even choose the books & the order in which they'll arrive.
6. PARIS REVIEW TOTE
Spacious enough to cart home a whole pile of library finds, this tote from the legendary Paris Review is made of heavy duty canvas with hunter green bottom and shoulder-length straps.
7. FACSIMILE DUST JACKETS
These exact reproductions of classic bookcovers will give beloved (but ragged) copies of Franny and Zooey or A Common Reader (or any of a thousand other titles) a new lease on life. Also makes great wrapping paper for a small gift.
8. URCHIN POUF BY FLOCKS
Sometimes a girl just needs a tuffet to park it on in front of her shelves. The hand knitted Urchin Pouf uses massive strands of New Zealand wool yarn to create a perfect little seat.
