Gifts for the Book Lovers

Bookish Apparel

My everyday outfit now that I work from home is an oversized graphic t-shirt or sweatshirt. I love wearing something oversized when I want to be extra cozy while working, running errands, and most definitely while reading. It earns extra cozy points if it’s related to my favorite book series. If you have a book lover in your life that’s the same way, you should check out Stardust and Moonlight. She has the cutest ACOTAR apparel like this cute Prythian World Tour t-shirt and City of Starlight crewneck. She also has apparel for the other Sarah J. Mass universes.

Here are a few other options that I love from other small businesses:

Bookish Jewelry

Who doesn’t love receiving jewelry as a holiday gift? Estori Collective is a new brand to me that I fell in love with. She makes simple, timeless pieces that are both subtle and beautiful. Some of my favorites that I’ve purchased recently are the Velaris Pendant and Hunt’s Lightning Choker. Estori Collective also has jewelry inspired by Throne of Glass, From Blood and Ash, Zodiac Academy, and several other book series.

Book Clutch

If you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind gift for a book lover, you need to check out this customized cover book clutch. This gift is perfect for those that are a die-hard fan of a particular book or series as you can customized the cover to fit the recipient. It also comes in several different sizes.

Book Embosser

How perfect is this custom, personalized book embosser? Need I say more.

Thumb Page Holder

Something on my personal wishlist for this holiday season is a thumb page holder. Whenever I read for hours and hours, my thumb and hand tend to ache after a while. With this little nifty gadget, that will no longer be a problem. It comes in several different styles and sizes.

Bookish Candle

I’m pretty sure almost every reader loves a good candle! I know that I do, especially when I’m relaxing in my reading nook. If you know your favorite person loves candle, think about getting them a bookish candle or two.

Reading Journal

Spoil your favorite book lover with a STUNNING reading journal. It’s perfect for readers that enjoy writing down their thoughts and keeping track of their ever-growing TBR list.  

Bookish Artwork

For those that know that the recipient is a die-hard fan of a certain series and could use some new artwork, you may try your luck with purchasing some bookish artwork. FromBookstoBooks has some gorgeous subtle bookish artwork that are just *chiefs kisses*. I love that her artwork looks like any regular artwork if you haven’t read the book series before.

Believe it or not, I’ve never owned an electronic toothbrush before, at least as far as I remember. I might have had one when I was a child when I was still learning how to brush my teeth. Recently despite brushing and flossing twice a day like I’m supposed to, my teeth just haven’t been feeling as clean as I wished. I’m a sweets addict and an avid soda drinker so my teeth tend to take a beating every day and need a little more TLC than most.

My fiancé, Titi, has an electronic toothbrush and swears by his, but of course, I didn’t want the same one as his. I wanted something that was more aesthetically pleasing and that worked phenomenally. Bonus points if it also had an option to whiten my teeth during the cleaning process.

A few weeks ago, BURST Oral Care reached out to me to see if I wanted to review their toothbrush, and since it fit the bill of what I was looking for, I said yes! Since I received my new toothbrush in the mail, I’ve been using it every day and all I can say is “wow!”. My teeth feel just as clean as if I went to the dentist every day for a professional cleaning.  

SO WHAT IS THE BURST BRUSH?

BURST Brush comes in three colors currently: black, white, and rose gold. It’s a sonic powered toothbrush that removes 6-7 times more plaque that a regular manual toothbrush and helps fight again gingivitis at the gumlines. With its charcoal-coated bristles, it also makes your smile whiter and brighter within days of use.

Features:

• Charcoal Bristles: The bristles are soft charcoal infused PBT nylon, which is designed to help remove surface stains and make your smile brighter with regular use.
• 2 Minute Timer: Dentists recommended brushing for 2 minutes. After the dedicated 2 minutes is up, your toothbrush will automatically cut off and you’re good to go.
• Quad-interval technology: Every 30 seconds you’ll feel a gentle vibration to remind you to switch to a different side in your mouth to continue brushing.
• 3 Brushing Modes: The 3 different modes are whitening, sensitive, and massage.
• Long-Lasting Battery: With 1 hour of charging, it’ll last up to 4 weeks with regular use.
• 33,000 Sonic Vibrations Per Minute: With that much power, the Burst Brush proves you the deepest clean without any harm to your gums.

What comes in the box:

• BURST sonic toothbrush
• USB charger
• Wall socket
• 1 toothbrush head
• Travel case

MY THOUGHTS

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my new toothbrush.  From day one, I was immediately impressed with how clean and smooth my teeth felt after using the BURST brush. My teeth haven’t felt this clean since my last appointment with the dentist, which was only a few months ago. I’ve tried out all three modes, and the most comfortable one for me for everyday use is the sensitive mode. I currently use the whitening mode about once a week for a whitening treatment and for a deeper clean. It can be pretty intensive for everyday use, but it does actually work so I like the setting.

At first, I was nervous that the bristles would be too soft and that the brush head would be too big for my preference. Apparently I have a smaller mouth, so I typically use a child’s toothbrush, which allows me to clean even the toughest parts of my mouth. This brush system works perfectly for me! I don’t have any issues with the brush size or the bristle softness. Since I’ve been using it, I have noticed a subtle change in the color of my teeth. Nothing dramatic, but I’m thinking about ordering their new whitening strips to see if those make a more dramatic change for me.

If you’re looking to buy a sonic toothbrush, then I highly recommend ordering the BURST Oral Care toothbrush. The quality of the system is amazing, and my teeth have never felt this clean before at home. I totally thought I was doing a great job of cleaning my teeth before with my manual brush, but after the first use of this one, I realized that I had been barely scraping the surface. I can’t wait to see what’ll happen after a few months of regular use with this new brush. I’m hoping for no more cavities and an even whiter smile.  

Have you ever used an electronic toothbrush before? What are your thoughts on them? Do you love or hate them?
