📚Kyla’s Musings: Unique 🎁 for book lovers
One last giveaway + Final gift guide—the kitsch and the quirky
Hi friends!
We are only ~1 month away from the release of VALLEY VERIFIED!!! I am shocked. How did this year just fly by so fast?!
Giveaway!
Icymi here’s a giveaway for Valley Verified! 5 print copies up for grabs 😉 No purchase necessary and no strings attached—so don’t wait to enter and get yourself a nice holiday treat!
One last gift guide
The holiday season is upon us and I know you’re being bamboozled by gift guides. But here’s a gift guide full of unique, quirky items for the book lovers in your life—including yourself 😉
I am obsessed with custom rubber ducks. And one can never have too many of them lying around the house.
A book-themed necklace isn’t too special… but a library card?! ‘Nuff said.
For your friend who’s always misplacing their books… or if they just want to put their own stamp on a book, literally. 😉
Not strictly for books… but I’d totally use it as a book bag. The bows add so much flair!

A lovely, homemade touch.
Cool bookmarks
Aren’t we all?
Who doesn’t want to see one peeking out from between the pages? Other designs from this brand that I love include Hot Sauce, Femur Bone, and Dumplings and Chopsticks
If your friend’s a Pedro Pascal fan, they’d get such a kick out of this.
Okay I know Schitt’s Creek is a TV show, not a book. But if someone gets me this, I’d love them forever.
For your friend (or yourself) who always says they want to write but can never concentrate on writing. This typewriter forces them to stare at a screen that displays nothing but the words they put out. :P Very portable too! And your work can be easily exported at any time.
A little reading shrine that you can carry anywhere with you and holds all the essentials for a good book session. And if you’re someone who’s always misplacing bookmarks (ahem me ahem), you can just rest your book on the stand to mark your page.
Let me know if you end up getting any of these gifts for yourself or a loved one!
What about… a book gift?
And if you’re looking for a book gift, consider The Fraud Squad or Valley Verified! The Fraud Squad’s fun and glamorous vibes are the perfect way to pass the December blues. And why keep all the present-giving to the holiday season? Preordering Valley Verified means a gift will show up for your loved one in January just when the post-holiday blues are hitting them—something to look forward to in the new year + get a head start on the reading resolution. 😉
Valley Verified: When a fashion writer dives headfirst into the Silicon Valley startup scene, her future’s on the line as she battles judgmental coworkers, eccentric tech billionaires and her own insecurities in this cutthroat industry.
The Fraud Squad: A working-class woman who infiltrates Singapore’s high society to get her dream job risks losing everything in the process—including herself.
