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.
