Nearsighted Pigs Cast Iron Bookends

Some gifts are for people who take their books seriously. Themselves, considerably less so.

These bespectacled pigs have one job: keep the books upright. And they approach it with the intense concentration of two professionals who absolutely refuse to admit they can't see a damn thing.

That's why they earned a place in our Calm Authority collection. They are substantial, useful and quietly ridiculous — proof that having presence doesn't require taking yourself too seriously.

Crafted from cast iron with a warm bronze-toned finish, the pair has enough weight to function as proper bookends while bringing unexpected character to an office, study or favourite bookshelf.

Give them to the well-read woman with a sense of humour. The impossible-to-buy-for friend. The colleague whose office could use considerably more personality.

Or put them on your own shelf.

The pigs aren't judging. They can't see you anyway.
