The Literary Gift Company Scrabble Cushions

I adore words and word games. In my dream house, I would have endless gin-fuelled tournaments of Snatch It and Scrabble, and bookcases all over the walls, rather than my current situation of two cases and a window sill where unsteady book piles are slowly blocking out daylight.

So, obviously I would have a thousand and one of these gorgeous Scrabble cushions.

Pick one letter, pick 12 – I could spell out my favourite words, friends, my places or my boyfriend’s name as a sop to him. Sadly, being a man who hates both cushions and Scrabble (I know!) he would take no joy from this competitively-comfortable dream house, but on the bright side, that would leave me even more space to fill up with cushions.

Made from organic cotton, these little lovelies cost £19.99 each from my new favourite shop, the The Literary Gift Company (expect to hear a lot more from here) and you can pick any letter you like: “Sorry, no blanks available!” P&P is free if you spend more than £30 which is practically an invitation to buy two and spell out your initials!
