Because I’m a knitter—and handknit projects just can’t be cranked out the night before—I’m one of those irritating types that gets started on my Christmas shopping list early. (The fact that I’m a magazine editor plays into it too: we start planning our Christmas issues in the summer.) Not everyone can get (or wants to get, for that matter) a new scarf this Christmas, so for the others on my list, I’m eyeing these sweet e-reader covers from Out Of Print. Made by the oldest bookbinder in the U.S., they feel like a real book—the one thing I miss when I’m flipping through the “pages” of my Kobo. Better yet, for each book sold, one is donated to a community in need through the company’s partnership with Books in Africa. Out of Print e-reader cover and iPad case, from $55, available at Holt Renfrew, holtrenfrew.com
