Holding back the books

I think it’s probably obvious by now that I have a bit of a thing for cookbooks. Which means they are everywhere around the house, whether they fit the space or not. So I could probably use some of these bookends, both for the practical aspects, but also for the great designs.

I really like the cook ones, and they are too good to be hidden (completely) by the books. They are made from stainless steel, so are going to hold up some fairly heavyweight tomes. For a cookbook loving mum, I would suggest this would make a great Mother’s Day present with a difference. For those who don’t need further food references then check out this slightly Hitchcock-esque version!

There don’t seem to be huge numbers of bookends around, so maybe most people do what I do, and just pile some up the other way! I quite like the idea of them as a gift: different, practical, unusual. Good criteria for a great gift in my book!
