This cute bookish tote is a reminder to us all of Carpe Librum’s motto: Be Awesome. Read Books. Perfect to carry your reads around with you or just to “tote” your love for reading everywhere you go!
Sometimes hours spent making great progress on your latest project might not be all that great for your back. To save the writer in your life from the perils of pains and bad posture, try getting them this seat cushion. It’s proven to relieve pressure on your hips, improve posture, and it’s comfy!
For another way to show off a love of books, check out these adorable mini-shelves stocked with your favorites. The question isn’t whether to get one, but which one to get!
