The Handmaid’s Tale Notebook. I WANT.
Oh my, how I want this Handmaid’s Tale Notebook. I have to say – I do try and stay clear of The Literary Gift Company. I actively avoid it, if I’m honest. WAY too tempting.

The Maileg Mice 2020. You didn’t think we’d forget, did you?
It’s the much-anticipated Maileg Mice 2020 pick! I think regular readers all know just how much we love the Maileg mice. Christmas really wouldn’t be the same without a new one coming to join the party (who all live in a large Thornton’s hamper box. Which feels remarkably fitting).
