It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a fan of Jane Austen is likely to want to visit a museum and buy a gift in person - or online.
Problem
What to get somebody as a gift, something new, something useful, something unique, something amusing.
Answer
For anybody who likes Jane Austen (and that's easy to ascertain) consider a gift from their shop. Here are some of my favourites and finds:
Bookcase design pillows!
cake slices
cookie cutter - Jane Austen 3d cookie cutter
coasters
ear-rings: fan-shape ear-rings; teapot ear-rings
mugs
oven gloves with jolly Regency dancers
rings and bangles with quotations
silver book design pendant
If you don't know what to buy, and they are family so the price does not have to be concealed, you could opt for an e-giftcard.
These would also make useful items for a fund-raising raffle, or Secret Santa gifts for a book group or writing group.
For a birthday or holiday, you could organise a trip to the Jane Austen house museum in Bath, England, or do a whole Jane Austen literary tour of England.
