Do You Even Read Mug

While some may enjoy spending their days pumping iron and advancing into the next weight class, your valentine enjoys crushing novels and shredding through chapters. Your loved one can impress their friends with their word count as opposed to their rep count. This mug will help get your valentine’s book goal swole.

Open Book. Sniff. Read. Repeat. Tote Bag

What’s one of the most troubling dilemmas facing all serious book lovers? Not enough mobile book storage space. While they probably have shelves full of books at home, when they venture out into the great wide world, their backpacks and purses are too full of non-bookish items to carry all of their literary-related needs; namely books. With this stylish tote, your valentine can carry around all the books his or heart desires while proclaiming their love of that classic scholarly smell.

Cat Sleeping on a Book Art Print

What better way to show your love of reading than through a book-themed print? The creatively named, Cat Sleeping on a Book art print is an original watercolor design created by our very own co-founder, Tom. This print encapsulates the charming inconsiderate-ness of our feline friends when it's reading time.
