2022 Tea with Tolkien Small Business Gift Guide
After surveying our readers and community members, I was thrilled to hear that so many of you were interested in another Tea with Tolkien Gift Guide this year. I’ve reached out to over a dozen small businesses who I thought might be a good fit for this year’s guide, and many of them have been generous enough to provide coupon codes for our community!
Many of these items are inspired by Tolkien’s works specifically, while others are “Tolkien-adjacent” gifts for the Hobbit at Heart. I hope this guide will be inspiring as you shop for meaningful gifts for your loved ones this holiday season.
Keep an eye out for a second guide coming a bit closer to Christmas featuring last-minute gift ideas such as favorite Tolkien book editions, etc.; these shops included are small businesses and may close as we draw nearer to the holidays, so keep that in mind!
Disclaimer: some items were gifted to me for the purpose of promotion during this holiday season. This post also contains affiliate links.
Please note that I will be updating this post throughout November and December!
