I'm a little behind on my Christmas shopping. I have a couple things for my mom, one thing for my favorite baby, and that's about it. It seems like this is the year for online shopping. But even that takes a little planning ahead.
One site I'm definitely going to shop:
The Reader's Catalog. It's got great gifts for anyone who loves words. Among my favorites: the
alphabet mug; the
alphabet tie; and journals in different
sizes and
colors.
I also like the
2005 Granta diary, but it is less expensive at
Amazon. Amazon's description is inaccurate, though -- the diary actually features 52 different book jacket designs from the past 100 years, including first edition covers of
The Hobbit,
Casino Royale,
Trainspotting,
On the Road, and
The Old Man and the Sea.
Nice.
