Christmas gifts
Two guides, because there are two kinds of person hard to buy for: the one who has read everything, and the one who has every tool. 96 designs on 33 things, from £16, printed to order in the UK with free tracked delivery in 3–5 working days.
Nothing here is a novelty that gets a laugh on the day and lives in a drawer by February. Every line is either ours or four hundred years old.
Wilde, Austen, Dickens, Shakespeare and Marcus Aurelius on shirts, totes and mugs. For the reader who already owns the books.
Secret Santa and stocking fillers
The mug is £16 and clears most Secret Santa limits with room to spare. It is also the only thing here with no size to get wrong, which matters when you are buying for somebody you share an office with and cannot ask.
New for Christmas
14 designs written or chosen for the day itself — Dickens, who is out of copyright and responsible for most of what Christmas sounds like, and a set of our own about the month nothing gets finished and nobody gets paid.
Ordering in time
Nothing is held in stock — it is printed when you order it and posted tracked from Westbury, usually inside 3–5 working days. Leave more room than that in December, when the post is what it is. Full terms and your 14-day right to cancel are on the delivery page.
