The reader—always full of recommendations, the one who’s at book club on time, with a well-stocked home library and a Kindle brimming with titles. We love them for their wealth of knowledge and literary passion! This holiday season, here’s what we’d get them locally: The cozy souls who curl up with a good book every chance they get. We know them, we love them, and we shop for them with gifts that celebrate their love of reading, adventure, all things cozy and with a story behind it.

Blurb Book Shop is the ultimate spot for book lovers, offering a blind-date-with-a-book wrapped and packed with all the goodies any reader could want—book-themed mugs, bookmarks, and all the accessories we love.

Reach out to them for a thoughtful gift, or let them pick out a book for your loved ones this holiday season!
William Arthur Wright
I made a shelf to show off all the mugs I’ve collected, and I’ve got about four from Willy. They’re thoughtfully crafted and always seem to make my coffee taste better. I mean, maybe not really, but if your vessel is made with love, doesn’t that love carry into the taste? I think so.
Willy is a ceramics teacher, so I believe everything he makes has a purpose behind it. To me, these mugs are like accomplishments I get to drink from every day.
Want to gift someone their own little "accomplishments" this holiday season? Message Willy and get something special under the tree for someone you love.

Kailey Lindsey Photography
One of the best gifts you can give is a memory—a moment frozen in time. I often wish I had more family photos because life changes, sometimes unexpectedly. Let this be your sign to book a family photoshoot. Trust me, your mom will thank you.
If you need a recommendation, I can’t say enough good things about Kailey. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she’s also a genuinely kind and wonderful person to work with. She makes the whole experience comfortable and fun, even if you’re camera-shy.
Check out her Facebook page and send her a message to get something booked. Her work is amazing, and I’m an even bigger fan of her as a person. Don’t wait—capture those memories while you can!
