Bookish Gift Guide: Coloring Book Edition
Let’s say you want to give a bookish gift, but it’s basically impossible to remember which books the intended recipient already has. Or maybe your friend isn’t much of a reader at all. Or perhaps that special someone keeps meaning to try mindfulness, but just hasn’t gotten around to it.
Regardless, coloring books make great gifts because there are so many to choose from, plus they’re a gift and an activity all in one. Here are a few ideas for coloring book gifting this holiday season.
If you bonded over the stress of watching The Great British Bake Off…
The Great British Bake Off Colouring Book is a great way to relive the drama without the risk of soggy bottoms and collapsing showstoppers.
For the friend that won’t stop talking about Bob’s Burgers…
Let them color in some friend fiction with Tina and practice punny burger names with Bob in The Official Bob’s Burgers Coloring Book.
If they really need some happy little trees in their world…
Free them from the pressure of creating a masterpiece from scratch by letting them color between the lines in The Official Bob Ross Coloring Book.
