A good friend of mine has a book coming out soon and I wanted to get her something because I am so proud of her and I know how long and hard she worked on it. She is a really good friend. I would love to get her something a little related to reading or writing, but it obviously can't be a book. I was sort of thinking something along the lines of a silver bookmark with an engraving. Not exactly that. I don't know if that's even a real thing. Anyway, I thought some of you might have ideas. Appreciate any help offered.
A classy pen (which can also be engraved) with a card on which you request the first thing she writes with the pen is an inscription on your copy of her book?
Fancy book ends. I like the heavy ones but they cost more. You'll have to know how many books she crams together, I guess. This one's $40 on Amazon, and it's pretty cool. As an example.
It is a sliced dyed geode. My husband is a recovering geologist and an unrepentant rock hound and lapidary who has made a lot of the undyed variety. They actually do a nice job of holding up books if they are large enough. Maybe something nice to wear to book signing events? I am always happy when someone gives me special earrings. https://www.etsy.com/listing/255491696/tiny-library-earring-mini-book-earrings?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_custom1=_k_67d25f8a9c4f18a5f52d3b505d770906_k_&utm_custom2=319339186&msclkid=67d25f8a9c4f18a5f52d3b505d770906
