Last year I posted a set of reading time coupons, and I received a request for new ones – so if you're trying to find a gift for someone, and you know they love to read, this might work perfectly.
I don't know of many people who would turn down the gift of uninterrupted time for themselves, especially with reading.
You can print out the gift certificates, fill them out and sign them, and enclose them with whatever reading accessories you think best: a book, tea, wine, both tea and wine, hot chocolate, tea, wine, and hot chocolate, a set of fuzzy slippers – whatever you like.
You like? I hope so! There are three denominations of reading time: 30, 60, or 90 minutes. The giver's job, upon redemption, is to allow the recipient reading time, free of distractions and interruptions. They're backed by the support and enthusiasm of Smart Bitches, though they aren't actual legal tender (but you knew that!). They are meant to make giving someone a bit of reading time easy and fun.
You can download a one-page PDF for printing here (right click and save-as)(PDF). It should look equally spiffy in black and white or color.
And if you need a set dated 2013 that PDF is still availble, too (right click and save-as)(963kb PDF). There are still days left in the year, so don't forget to read!
Happy holidays!
I love this! Thanks, Sarah. Happy Holidays!
You’re so welcome – happy holidays to you and yours!!
Happy Christmas, all.
