These also work great when included into a customized hand assembled gift basket.

Want to go with something more classic and elegant? There are many brilliant artworks that are a book lover’s dream and totally free! You heard that right, free to obtain the digital file at least, because they are in the public domain.
It won’t cost much to print them at home or in your local print shop or online, either. A great frame might be the costliest item in this project, but you can also go with the standard frames available in stores for cheap. No need to hit the antique frames shop!
