It sounds like your girlfriend has a wonderful blend of literary appreciation and a love for crafting, particularly cross stitch. Here are several thoughtful and personalized gift ideas that combine these interests and are sure to delight her:
1. **Anne of Green Gables Cross Stitch Kit**: There are kits specifically themed around Anne of Green Gables, featuring quotes, characters, or scenes from the book. This will not only provide her with a delightful project but also allow her to display her love for Anne of Green Gables in her own hand-crafted art.
2. **Personalized Cross Stitch Supplies**: Consider putting together a curated bundle of high-quality cross stitch supplies. Include embroidery hoops, threads in various shades of greens and reds reminiscent of Anne’s world, and personalized needle minders that feature motifs from Anne of Green Gables, like puff sleeves or the iconic red braids.
3. **Anne of Green Gables Collector's Edition**: If she doesn’t already own one, a beautifully bound collector’s edition of the series could make a stunning gift. Look for versions with illustrated plates or embossed leather covers. Every time she pulls it off the shelf, she'll be reminded of her love for the story and your thoughtful gesture.
4. **Crossover Book-Crafting Experience**: Gift her a workshop or online class that combines elements of literature and cross-stitching. Some organizations offer courses where participants craft while discussing their favorite books, providing both a literary and social experience.
5. **Handmade Anne of Green Gables Bookmarks**: You could commission a talented artist to create bookmarks based on Anne's universe. Choose cross-stitched designs or ones that feature beloved quotes and imagery from the book, so she can mark her place in a special way during her next read.
6. **Anne-Inspired Craft Journal**: Provide her with a beautiful crafting journal that intersperses pages for her to record her cross-stitch projects and techniques, interleaved with classic Anne of Green Gables quotes to inspire her as she works.
7. **Customize a Frame for Finished Works**: Give her a set of custom frames that are designed to hold her finished cross-stitch pieces, with Anne Quotes etched on them or in the style of the early 1900s aesthetic from the books.
8. **Literary-themed Retreat**: Book a weekend getaway in a cozy bed-and-breakfast reminiscent of Green Gables’ Prince Edward Island charm. This could serve as a relaxing escape where she can take her stitching projects.
