This is one of the two teak wood/heart -shaped bookmarks that were offered on NOVICA and since I am a voracious reader, I purchased one of each for myself. Upon receiving them, I now know I will be buying more of them for the people that I know in life that read almost as much as I do. The heart that tops the bookmark is such a thoughtful addition and will convey an even greater message to the people that I know who are readers.
Chosen as a gift, it is so pretty. Im thinking Ill be ordering a few more of these as gifts ---and, of course, one for me!
