Happy December to you!
I’m busy wrapping gifts before all the children and grandchildren fill our home with energy and love. I love getting every name checked off my shopping list on Black Friday. If you’re in need of some gift ideas, I’m sharing my annual holiday gift ideas for the book lovers in your life. These are some of my personal favorites to give and enjoy.
MARY ALICE MONROE’S HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
If you know me personally, read my newsletters, or follow my social pages, then you can probably guess what gift idea tops my list:
🎟️TICKETS TO WILD DUNES AUTHOR EVENT WITH MARY ALICE MONROE | Give the gift of a literary experience to your favorite book lover! It’ll be a conversation like no other and a wonderful experience they’ll remember long after the event is over. PLUS! Receive a downloadable gift certificate to wrap up for your loved one. Simply email [email protected] with your ticket confirmation and she will send you the downloadable gift certificate to place under your tree!
☕CHARLESTON COFFEE ROASTERS BEACH HOUSE BLEND or VARIETY PACK I This is the perfect gift for coffee lovers! I’ve been a fan of this local roaster for a very long time, and I’m honored to say that I have my own signature dark roast coffee that is my newest favorite–I personally selected Beach House Blend, inspired by my Beach House book series. They also sell an adorable coffee canister now too!
🍪CALLIE’S HOT LITTLE BISCUITS I Experience the delight of perfect Southern biscuits without any of the hassle, delivered directly to your doorstep! These are a personal favorite of mine, offering the authentic taste of the South in every bite. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of homemade biscuits — a treat that brings the Southern charm right to you!
💖HART JEWELRY AND CHARMS | I love jewelry and this is one of my favorites for meaningful charm necklaces and more. A Lowcountry-founded company by a Charleston native, too! If you’re looking for earrings, I adore Elu Cook Designs. Her glass jewelry collections are infused with sand from different Lowcountry beaches. You must see her Dewees Island collection, inspired by The Islanders series. I even have a pair I love to wear!
📘GIFT CARD FROM A LOCAL INDIE BOOKSTORE I Let your booklover get exactly what they want this holiday season!
🖊️GIVE THE GIFT OF SIGNED BOOKS! I Buxton Books and Blue Bicycle Books in Charleston carry a wide selection, including my children’s books—perfect for any age. They offer gift wrapping and can ship books anywhere!
And, remember that gifts don’t have to cost a lot of money (or any at all). They don’t have to fit in a pretty box under the Christmas tree either. One of the greatest gifts is simply time well spent with the ones you love most. I hope you get to spend quality time with loved ones this holiday season. Merry Christmas from my home to yours!
