Build a Jane Austen Gift Box
This year marks Jane Austen’s 250th birthday and anyone who loves her is excited to celebrate her timelessness. We’ve been bringing her stories into our lives for centuries and while the typical Austenite might have multiple copies of every Austen novel, their shelves may be lacking a few other items that complete the Austen obsession. That’s where the Jane Austen gift box comes in handy. A curated collection of Austen-esque items that inspire a life Austen herself would love, this box is a few things you can gather to help the Austen lover in your life celebrate the author during this special anniversary year.

This book encourages those who love Austen’s words to learn and indulge in one of the greatest arts of Austen’s time: embroidery. Women practiced embroidery as part of their education and produced some of the most beautiful work. The Jane Austen Embroidery book provides patterns that suit modern styles but honor this timeless craft.
Stickers
These Austen stickers are a fun way to put a little Austen everywhere. On water bottles, or converted to magnets, they make great decor!
Pride and Prejudice Literary Map
Featuring the locations that help build the beloved world of Pride and Prejudice, this literary map makes wonderful wall art, or just a fun piece of memorabilia.
Tea
“But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
Tea, for any Austenite, is a must. Anglophiles and Jane Austen lovers around the world agree that a good cup of tea goes really well with a good book. This Austen tea comes with a book mark and has a delicious, light peppermint flavor.

The final piece of this gift box is a book pin. There are plenty out there, but these Jane Austen book cover pins are especially cute and simple.
Final Pieces
Though this is called a gift box, I would recommend gifting these items in a Jane Austen-themed tote bag and maybe including a candle. What’s more, you and your Austen-obsessed friend, spouse, or family member can plan a trip to an Austen event celebrating her amazing life and work.
Happy reading!
