Happy Holidays, friends!
(I wanted to cover the whole spectrum but “Merry Kwanzukkahmas” sounded catchier in my head.)
So whilst crafting my next Brash Jobs post, it occurred to me that perhaps I shouldn’t be writing about that kind of stuff this time of year – I should focus on a warm-hearted holiday post…Mostly because my friends and family said, “You shouldn’t be writing about that kind of stuff this time of year – you should focus on a warm-hearted holiday post!”
So, here we are. I’m sure many of you will be offline during the holidays, so I’m taking my chance to say hello before everyone goes to hibernate!
But before you hibernate…do you need any last minute gifts for the librarian or book lover in your life? Here are some Brash ideas I’ve stumbled across:
Card Catalog Necktie
Available in cream, platinum, champagne, pink, sky, cream and butter. Feel free to buy me one here!
Librarian Magnets – Lots more on ALA’s Gift shop
We like knick knacks that don’t take up counter space.
Anything for Duluth Trading Company (For when we’re off the job!)
No lie, their stuff is pretty tough.
I like camping, hiking, and adventure in general when I’m not in the library. Man or woman, Duluth has something ranging from underwear to jackets to gloves…I just got the most amazing jeans and cargo pants ever!
A Librarian Mug to keep you calm
Because this is something that will actually calm you down.
The Librarian Films on DVD or Blu-Ray! (Available on Amazon)
This will go perfectly with your new-found addiction to The Librarians on TNT.
This is WAY better than the TBS Christmas Story marathon.
Anything from Stand-Up Librarian, Meredith Myers gift shop!
Purses, wristlets, cosmetic bags, scarves, bow ties…whatever you need, she’s got you covered. Meredith makes these by hand – I actually have a sweet Christmas stocking from her as a gift from when we did our comedy show together! Check out her Etsy shop to see the other cat/boating/Edgar Allen Poe stuff she can do as well and make your friends jealous.
For those on the naughty list, the fine folks at The Worst Things for Sale scour the internets looking for the most horrible presents you can imagine to give people. A few examples include:
Nose-Free Wine Glass (for the wine savant in your life)
$49.95…FOR ONE GLASS.
I feel my arteries clogging already.
I actually see a few people I’d get this for. I’m looking at you, Diego and Tiza.
This is actually sold by Duluth Trading Company as well!
A…Thing…that makes your eggs into cubes…?
Why you would want cube eggs is beyond me.
There’s still time to get overnight shipping if you need it!
Happy holidays (and shopping!),
