The rarest kind of gift is an unexpected pleasure, something original and inspired that awakens the soul and pleases the senses. This holiday season, delight and inspire the people on your list with uniquely tactile gifts that stimulate pleasurable productivity. Here’s a first look at some of our new arrivals:

Cambridge Explorer made by Tusting for Levenger

Gorgeous gifts in rich, long-lasting Levenger leather are a perennial favorite. These are the gifts they’ll use and enjoy every day–and think of you. In addition to new arrivals to our popular Bomber Jacket Collection in pebbled mocha leather with plaid twill lining, and to our buttery soft Carezza Collection, you’ll find a host of new products made in England by Tusting leathercrafters. Tusting is our longtime transatlantic partner, helping us provide our customers with exclusive designs they won’t find elsewhere in the U.S. In the U.K., Tusting’s classic, timeless designs are sought after and enjoyed by royalty and commoner alike: the Duchess of Cambridge was recently photographed carrying the Tusting Explorer (also available to Levenger customers). The newest addition to our Tusting line is the iPad Sleeve, available in a profusion of vivid colors (as seen in the UK version of Elle Magazine, where it’s been dubbed the iSlip!).

English Leather iPad Sleeve in fashion colors

Speaking of iPad, Levenger is fast becoming the go-to destination for carriers of the tablet computer. New additions to our collection of iPad-Friendly gear include the Cambridge Tablet Case, the aforementioned English Leather iPad Sleeve and the Cambridge iPad Case, which magically transforms into a stand. All are made in England of deliciously smooth and durable leather by Tusting.

As digital conveniences become essentials, Levenger expands its collection of leather electronics cases and smartphone holders. New additions to our popular Pocquettes Collection in richly pebbled leather include the iPad Case (designed to hold the tablets of today and tomorrow), the E-Reader Case (which accommodates Kindle and Nook, of course) and the whimsical Kitten and Pooch Earbud Holders.

NEW - India Cloud Book Pillow

The lap desk is a useful tool that Levenger has elevated to an art form—our product merchants and designers are passionate about creating and discovering new ways to provide comfort to serious readers. The Leather iPad Pillow, Leather Cloud Pillow, Tray Bien Lap Desks and India Cloud Book Pillow are our latest arrivals–and of course, are just as comfortably useful for tree books as they are for laptops, tablets and e-books.

From our Collegiate Collection - Personalized Silver-Framed College Print

There’s so much more to mention–and so little time. Browse Levenger Press for exclusive books you won’t find anywhere else. See our new personalized Collegiate Collection and our handmade Artisanal Collection of card cases and desk accessories. Check out the new arrivals in heirloom-quality furnishings, including the Artisan Gateleg Table and Sylvan Collection. And take a peek at our brainy games and toys...you’ll see even more of those as Santa continues to deliver them to the Levenger warehouses.

We hope our assortment of holiday treasures makes shopping as much fun for you as your gift recipients. You may even discover a gift (or two) for yourself. Happy hunting!
