Client Spotlight: Find Your Holiday Gifts at Barnes & Noble

Holiday shopping is full steam ahead, with more than 151 million shoppers over Black Friday weekend and $3 billion in sales for Cyber Monday (an increase of 12 percent from last year!). But before you finish your holiday shopping, read on to see the unique and creative holiday gifts found at Barnes & Noble this season!

We’re excited to work with Barnes & Noble to share some of the most unexpected holiday gifts that can be found in their stores nationwide. While the bookstore is well-known for its amazing and broad collection of classic and best-selling reads, there is so much more available beyond the book! Whether you’re searching for the perfect holiday host/hostess gift, toy ideas for your nieces or nephews or last-minute stocking stuffers, Barnes & Noble has it all.

Not only does the bookstore serve as a one-stop shop for your holiday shopping needs, it’s also a great place to enjoy the season with your family through in-store, family-centric events. The events range from book signings and Elf on the Shelf Adoption Days to How the Grinch Stole Christmas Story Time and various other children’s book readings. Check the online store finder to see what exciting events are happening near you!

The Motherhood team is using Barnes & Noble to give creative gifts this year. And to inspire your holiday shopping, here are some of our favorite gift ideas from their online gift guide:

“I’m picking up a couple of the Fair Isle Chunky Cable Knit 100% Cotton Throws. They look so cozy, and will be a perfect gift for several people on my list. I think I may also pick up an extra one as a grab bag gift!”
-Brittnee H. 

“I was excited to see Barnes & Noble offered a great selection of vinyl records! I can’t wait to gift my friend with Adele’s newest album, 25.”
 -Nicole

“I’d love to gift my cousin and her husband with the “Our Q&A a Day: 3-Year Journal for 2 People.” They were just married in October and I think this would be a fun, creative gift for the newlywed couple to enjoy!”
-Sarah

“After working with Barnes & Noble on our gift guide for the blogger campaign, I was inspired to visit my local store (in downtown Seattle) to kick off my Christmas shopping. I bought several gifts, notably the Buddha Board for a friend of mine who has been stressed at work, so it was a successful trip!”
-Erin

“I love the Buddha Board and already got it for two creative and artistic people on my list!”
-Cooper

“The Star Wars X-Wing Force Awakens Core Set looks like something my husband would love! He’s a Star Wars fanatic (we bought our tickets for opening day two months early) and he could add this to his collection of figurines he keeps in our living room!”
-Kayla

“I would love to gift my nieces The Polar Express and take them to the special reading event! It was one of my favorite books growing up and reading time is one of their favorite activities.”
-Kahlianne

“This Snap Circuits Jr. set is perfect for my nephews! They’re so curious and love to create, so this is the perfect gift to keep them occupied during snow days this winter.”
-Brittney C.

And remember, Barnes & Noble has items that go beyond the gift guide that could still be perfect for your friends and family. Emily of The Motherhood’s team said, “I love the ‘Awesome Gifts for Makers’! My daughter is a maker and loves new tools and gadgets and ways of building things, so this mix of gifts is just perfect for us. Out of all the terrific options, I’m getting her the LittleBits Deluxe Kit. She’s going to adore it. Thank you, Barnes & Noble!”
