A book is a terrible thing to waste, but what do you do with one that’s damaged? Upcycle it into festive decorations, of course! Use pages from any dilapidated book to create a length of beautiful paper chain. A traditional craft for the holiday season here in the Western world, paper chains are a way crafters of any age (or DIY skill level) can make their own decorations. You can even customize your chain with color, sparkles, or pictures! Paper chains are a fun, efficient way to make any space festive and magical.

The holidays can be overwhelming for the young drinker. From the requisite time spent with family to the long dark nights and the endless Christmas carols in every single department store, deciding which drink you desperately need at the end of the day can be a challenge. But, hey! Everyone likes Bill Murray, right? So why not mix America’s real sweetheart with the perfect drink to match? We at Quirk have your back, pairing five of Murray’s best movies with their ideal alcoholic counterpart from our book, Winter Cocktails.

Jane Eyre has not had the easiest life. She may not be a great beauty, but she possesses brains, dignity, passion, and a strong desire for independence. Her sense of honor and justice prevails as she faces numerous hardships, from being orphaned and enduring cruelty from her aunt, to being sent away to a brutal boarding school, to falling in love with a man who (spoiler alert) has an insane wife locked away in his mansion. Jane’s playlist is one that reflects the strong but dreamy spirit of Brontë’s heroine.
