2024 Holiday Shopping Ideas

First up, I've long been a fan of Jordan Rannells, and his soundscapes. He's just released "An Unexpected Soundscape", an immersive audio soundscape journey inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. You can also use it as an accompaniment for reading the books or sync it with the official audiobook to get an incredible immersive audio experience.

Link to the store: https://jordanrannells.com/shop/p/an-unexpected-soundscape
Discount Code: TCG25

Also, if you are quick, you might catch the Black Friday sale with 30% off all available soundscapes. Highly recommended!

Artist Jenny Dolfen is having a Black Friday sale on prints of her art.

Spineless Classics is having a Black Friday sale as well, with 30% off everything including framed posters. Use code BF30 at checkout.

This is the (licensed, official) poster which is also the entire text of The Hobbit. But you can get lots of different "books as posters", framed or not, in this sale.
