A Really Cool Place To Buy Literary Gifts (and winner of The Real Boy!)

Looking for lighthearted gifts for kids, friends, and family this holiday season? Try browsing the Archie McPhee website. One of my critique partners sent me a link (we were discussing librarian action figures, as CPs tend to do, and she wanted to show me an available option). Little did she know that the website is a gold mine for goofballs like me.

Not only can you find gems like the Shakespearean Insult Bandages above ($5), but they also have:

Jane Austen Tattoos

Edgar Allan Poe Action Figure

Shakespeare Air Freshener ("smells like Shakespearmint")

and you'll also find wonders like:

Bacon-scented Mustache

and

Great Ideas Napkin Sketchbook--all great ideas start on the back of a napkin

Once again, here's a link: Archie McPhee

Best of luck with your holiday shopping!
