As an example I’m using the Parasol Protectorate books but you can do this with any genre book. Just run with your imagination what about a Dune themed basket full of spices and spice cakes?
- Order a signed book (in my case the illustrated version of SOULLESS is all signed)
- Source a vintage looking basket, possibly from a local thrift store (or a nice gift bag works)
- Fill with accompanying fun items that tie to the books
Example: Parasol theme
- Alternative or additional book option: Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone or maybe the Amelia Peabody books? (I have a list of books that people who read me also really like)
- For nesting: parasol scarf or t-shirt or blanket
- Tiny lace parasols or a very useful Pagoda Umbrella or Parasol or here’s a bunch of beautiful Victorian looking ones
- Reader or Victorian themed mug
- Assam Tea or other tea themed items
- Some kind of food that goes with the book, something like spices, cookies, crazy flavored chips
- Companion non-fiction: Hints to Lady Travellers or similar fun research books
- Here’s an Amazon list of jewelry, steampunk, books ends and other reader & writer delights.
