Gifts for Everyone!

We love books as gifts, they are easy to wrap, fun to unwrap, and there’s an option for every reader, but there’s much more to our shop than books! Come see what’s new and fabulous. We’re happy to help you find just the right thing.

Join us, Saturday, Nov. 30 for Small Business Saturday. We’ll be open early at 9am, with mimosas, while supplies last and our friends at The Studios of Key West will be hosting their annual Artisan Fair!

Here are a few of the things we’ll be giving our friends and family this year!

  • Signed and special editions: Do you know someone who loves sprayed edges? Try Jessica Warman’s Repeat After Me or the deluxe edition of Frank Herbert’s Dune.
  • Art books, celebrity cookbooks, and hot memoirs: Key West: Paradise Found by Ellen T. White, Ina Garten’s new memoir Be Ready When the Luck Happens, or I Love You by Pamela Anderson, might fit the bill.
  • Plus, puzzles, games, plushies, books for kids of all ages, art supplies & much more!

Can’t decide? A gift card is always the right pick! Can’t find something on our website? Give us a call, we’ll be happy to help.

Gift cards = happy choices

They are also for sale. $5, includes a pipe cleaner to make the reusable part easy as Key Lime pie and Cuban coffee.

Gift registry services

For baby showers, kids’ birthdays, adult birthdays or any gift giving occasion

Encourage your child’s love of reading by having him or her pick out a pile of new books. We’ll make a list, then point party guests and family members in our direction and they’ll know exactly what the birthday kid would like.

You can also register yourself for any occasion (cookbooks for a new home, travel books for a honeymoon, that series you want to collect for your own birthday).

And if you’re the gift-giver and you don’t know what the recipient might like give us a call and we’ll help you find the right thing (gift cards and gift receipts make present buying happiness guaranteed).

For baby showers, we’ll take the guess work out of the equation. Tell us what you’d like to spend and author Judy Blume will pull together the assortment of must-have baby books that she gives to friends and family to welcome new little ones.

Email booksandbooks@tskw.org for more information or stop by the store to get started.
