Reversible Bookstop ($28)

This is one of those handy things you never wind up buying for yourself, but that you certainly should buy for a book nerd you love. Think of all the times you've found yourself trying to keep a book open with odd things at hand—a stapler, a remote control, a (saddest of all) 'nother book. From Levenger, home of all kinds of accessories for le nerderie.

Harold the Giraffe ($24)

Harold, he is made of the vinyl, the better for the wiping off of le, je ne sais quoi, zwieback cracker drool from ze bebe. Also he is having the très modern print. Oui? From Lemons & Lollis.

Home Sweet Home Pet Carrier ($89)

The next time you take Françoise or Henri to the vet, this might be a lot more dignified for both of you than those très guache gray plastic carriers with ze bars on the front that look like le cage, zut alors! From Armstead's Porch.
