What goes with tights and a book?

I like to have a bit of a theme rather than a random selection of gifts but i've lost it here. I have bought a friend a book and a pair of snag tights to try (hers are always falling down) and want a third gift - no more than about £8 -£10. What would tie these together or have I got no hope?

I think the leg bookmarks are genius. I
I can't think of a single other way to link a random book and a random pair of tights. Unless the character in the book is famous for wearing tights or runs a lingerie shop or something.

Slightly over your budget but this place does book 'themed' candles...

And other general book gifts if she is that way inclined, could be good for another year.

Snags are in my Xmas list!

I'd get food or drink- mini Prosecco / gin in a tin / coffee/ tea / etc

Bubble bath or hot water bottle.

Agree that tights are an odd present.

I'd be quite happy to receive tights - I'd find a hot chocolate kit or a candle a bit meh.

Really nice notepad. So she can make notes on the book and how much she likes the tights?

A feminist pin badge from Etsy (sorry that was the weird present I was looking for my friend today).

@CUDet that is more her style! I'm off to have a look

Wine?

Hope you find something lovely for her. I would definitely love the presents you have already chosen, so would my friends.

Massive mug and posh tea. I'd love a pair of snag tights for Christmas!

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 21:20

@ShipshapeShore haha - another friend of mine presented me with a mug one year and said, of course, it's the last thing anyone needs or wants . That's stuck with me - she can't even dump it at work because she wfh 😆

@Forgoodnesssakejustletme oh no, I guess mugs are a bit marmite. My brother got me one with a picture of the queen and Paddington the Christmas after she passed and it's one of my my favourite gifts ever!

OMGitsnotgood · 19/11/2023 22:44

Have you read the book? If so, the theme is 'things you love which think she would enjoy.' 3rd thing could be anything which fits that category.

That said, I love those bookmarks!

I found https://mybookmark-shop.com/products/cabaret-in-fishnets-bookmark?_pos=3&_sid=83bd1dc1b&_ss=r while browsing - still not quite, but it got me thinking that you could probably find someone on Etsy and commission a bookmark pair of legs with wrinkly tights (or whatever?) in polymer clay, or an artist to draw something for a paper version.

@Renamed I like your thinking- bit like Hilda Ogden 🤣. She doesn't smoke but maybe I could buy some rollers (for her hair) instead

Well I was thinking more Patti Boyd! Maybe eyeliner…
