This weeks Top Ten Tuesday was a freebie so I decided to do a post dedicated to some of my favourite UK based bookish shops. Right around the corner from christmas, these shops have the perfect gifts to add to your Christmas list or buy for your bookish friends. From T-shirts, candles, bookmarks, pins to the most amazing books with sprayed edges there it sure to be something for everyone.

Top Ten Tuesday is run by Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl and you should definitely go give her blog some love.

The Literary Emporium

This shop is perfect for lovers of the classics. They create some truly unique pins, keyrings, t-shirts as well as putting together some great gift boxes. Really reasonably priced and some fantastic designs. I have one or two items from this shop on my Christmas list.

Fable and Black

I love this shop so much! They have such a great variety of pins, bookmarks, keyrings and so much more. I snagged some pins last Christmas and they are some of my favourites, such interesting designs and really amazing quality.

Pret a Geek

I am all for a good bookish candle and I used this shop for a few peoples presents last year. They all absolutely loved the candles, they last for ages and the smells were amazing.

Nutmeg and Arlo

Washi tape, pins, t-shirts… what more could you want. Be sure to check this shop out because the above pictures only show a minute amount of the awesome bookish goodies they sell. They have quite a whimsical theme and I already have quite a few of their pins on my pin board.

Midnight Flame Co

Another awesome candle shop with a really wide variety of fandoms. The scents from these candles are to die for and I love the labels.

Tsundoku Chronicles

I have had two sprayed edge design books from this shop as well as a number of bookmarks and the quality is amazing. She also does custom sprayed edges, you just have to tell her the book you want doing. A really unique gift to give/receive this Christmas.

Literary Galaxy

Jenn is an amazing blogger and so active in the bookish community its a wonder she has time for anything else. Luckily she does, and she makes some of the most unique and beautiful bookmarks. There are so many designs on her store and I especially love the space themed ones.

Bookishly UK

T-shirts totes and bookmarks oh my. This is just a snapshot of the bookish goodies this shop stocks. Fantastic quality and lovely and simple designs, I can’t get enough.

Ruthless Heroines

I love the designs for these candles… just look a the polyjuice potion one! It helps that they also smell divine and have a ridiculously wide variety of fandoms, not just bookish for you to pick from.

Ash and Quill Candles

This is the only shop I’ve ever found to do a Winternight themed candle and I would love them for that alone. They also stock a range of quirky and humorous style candles as well as plenty of bookish themed ones.

I mean, personally I think you are spoilt for choice! All of these shops have amazing ranges, quality and customer service and I can recommend them all personally. The perfect gift for any book lover in your life.
