Gift Ideas

You know the feeling. The birthday party (or baby shower, or graduation gig or wedding...) is right around the corner, and you're still trying to come up with the perfect gift. Let us help.

The Saturday Morning Scramble is a pretty common sight around the shop. Parents and kids swing by on their way to the party (maybe at the Rec Center, or the Discovery Museum or Chapman Hill), knowing full well that they'll be able to pick something out for the birthday girl or boy.

While our website features all the great books we love, our bricks-and-mortar shop is packed to the gills with lots of other fun stuff--notecards, journals, datebooks and calendars; toys, puzzles, games stuffed animals and puppets; jewelery, reading glasses and bags.

And of course, Maria's Bookshop Gift Cards bring a smile to pretty much everyone's face! They are great teacher appreciation gifts and stocking stuffers because they never expire and can be redeemed for anything in the store, or anything we can special order for you.
