Gifts for Readers…or You!

November 12, 2024 By Julie Klassen

My friend Michelle Griep has opened a new Etsy Shop. She is offering gifts that readers will love: T-shirts featuring cute readerly quotes, stickers, mugs, her fabulous Story Letters, Victorian Advent Letters, and more.

With Story Letters, you choose the subscription that intrigues you most. You’ll receive a letter twice a month with an intimate message from a historical character. But there’s more than that. Each letter includes special items related to the storyline such as a historical photo, an intriguing map, a charming sketch, or some other delightful surprise that makes history tangible. By the end of the 3 months, you’ll have a whole story!

And just in time for Christmas are the Victorian Advent Letters—25 beautifully crafted letters. Each day in December, discover the blossoming romance between Clara and her mysterious admirer, Daniel, set against the backdrop of festive Victorian traditions. Written in period style, these letters bring the charm of Christmas past into your home, with surprise items like Victorian ornaments, gift tags, and recipes hidden within select letters.

Take a peek at Michelle’s shop HERE. I hope you find a treat for yourself or a book-loving friend!
