Your Jane Austen Stocking-Filler Guide

It's that time of year again. If you've clicked on this post, you're probably stumped for a Christmas gift for the Jane Austen fan in your life, or maybe you've drawn a Jane Austen obsessive in your office Secret Santa, or you might just be looking to get yourself a treat for making it to the end of a stressful year. Whatever your gifting need is, this guide will help you find the perfect gift under £20 for the Janeite in your life.

As a big reader, it happens that, from time to time, I get really sucked into a book I don't want to put down. However, sometimes my partner has different priorities and he'd rather I switch my lamp off than try to sleep with a bright white light burning a hole in his peripheral vision. One of these reading lights is definitely on my list; clipping onto your book to light the page instead of the whole bedroom, this is the perfect gift for late-night bookworms and kids who like to read under the covers.

If your Jane Austen fan is all about pops of Regency flare, then a piece of jewellery wouldn't go amiss. These Porcelain Print Hook Earrings are charming, elevating the print of a Regency teaset to a must-have fashion accessory. These earrings will complete any Christmas party look, or afternoon tea ensemble.

If you are dealing with someone who already has every bit of Jane Austen merch under the sun, you might struggle to find something new. Well, hopefully they don't have this year. Jane Austen's Revenge is the follow-up expansion to the Jane Austen's Matchmaker card game. This additional card pack adds layers of complexity and fun to the existing game and is perfect to vex your family with on Boxing Day.

There's nothing that makes me feel more organised going into a new year than a good bit of stationery to liven up my desk. I might just be feeling this one personally because my Post-Its keep getting pinched, but this Pride and Prejudice sticky note set is calling my name. This set has sticky notes in many shapes and sizes, making it perfect for everything from annotating books to confessing to your true love that they pierce your soul, and that you are half agony, half hope. 

There's no nightmare like pulling the name of the one colleague you don't really chat with in the workplace Secret Santa. All you know about them is that they like Jane Austen. Well, you can't really go wrong with our Mr Darcy Rubber Duck. He's fun, budget-friendly and can live on their desk or in their bath.
