As the Market Editor of
BABY Magazine, I get to shop for a living. Well, window shop since I really don't buy anything, just borrow them for the magazine when I do photo shoots. Now, many of my blog readers know I dislike the physical activity of shopping (
I like shopping online!) so while I enjoy my job, the window shopping part is my least favorite part. It's a good thing I only do that once every two months!
Anyway, I will confess that there's one part of the window shopping aspect that I really really really enjoy—when I visit the bookstores for books and other paper items. I always look forward to that! At my recent jaunt to National Book Store to pick books for the January-February issue of
BABY Magazine (I looked for books that will inspire change), I found other fabulous things that I would love to find under my Christmas tree!
I already have the Kate Spade planners (I have three!
Here's my review!) but I would love to get those gold paper clips!
I really don't have time for journalling but I want to believe these journals (
Q&A A Day For Moms: A 5-Year Journal, and
Do One Thing Every Day That Inspires You: A Creativity Journal by Robbie Rogge and Dian G. Smith) which require just short entries every day, won't be too time-consuming.
Those are my three-year-old son's hands, by the way!
I want
All in Good Taste by Kate Spade and
Love Style Life by Garance Doré! I snuck a peek at
Love Style Life and it is a good read on personal style!
Oh these beautifully bound hardbound book collections!
I've not read
Game of Thrones because I started on the HBO show first and my husband, who's read the books, fills me in anyway. But if they look this gorgeous, maybe I will read it!
I'd love all three of these books for my boys! I hate it that the children's section of bookstores these days are overrun by franchises. Disney. Pixar. Marvel. DC. Disney Junior. Nickelodeon. Cartoon Network. It's all Frozen, Batman, Avengers, Sofia the First, Toy Story, etc etc on the shelves! That's okay, okay? But where are the classics??? The myths, the poems, the bedtime stories, the fables, the fairy tales? I'm so happy I saw these at National Book Store!
There's more books and stationery to love at National Book Store! I've always believed that the bookstore is the one-stop shop for gifts. So shop shop shop!
