This wristlet can be made in the image of almost anything. (Maybe not in time for Christmas, but think ahead!)
My friend Leslie also has one for her forthcoming book:
Both are from this website:http://www.torynicole.com/wristlet.html
Neat, no?
Or if you are really feeling generous and have something to celebrate, how about a CAKE made from the cover image of your/ your friend's book. Wow, will this ever impress!
(Yes, that's a cake. A delicious cake. Thanks again, Kate.)
How about this tee-shirt? All sorts of neat things in the Signals catalog. Click here for Writerly stuff.

Which is about how I was feeling when I sent off my last box of goodies into Santaland yesterday.
But of course, here's what I really and truly meant:
Happy reading/writing/shopping/ celebrating to all!
(Any other book or writer-related gift ideas? Leave me a message and I'll expand this post.)
