Gift for a Bellringer - any ideas?

[bizzylizzy]

Hi, I'm trying to source a pressy for a friend who's a bellringer. I was originally thinking of a sweatshirt with a bell on it, but all the sites I've come across have minimum orders of 6 or more. Any ideas anyone? Merry Christmas to you all. PS she's a tower ringer not a hand bell ringer.

Thanks for your help so far. She's a little bit old fashioned, so kiss me I'm a campanologist is a bit racy I think. The best pressy would be a sweatshirt or fleece with a bell on it, or even a pair of socks perhaps. I'll keep looking.

i was going to suggest 'campanology for beginners", by belle ringer and paula rope

but any decent rope dragger would already have it

silly question but does she specifically want something hobby related.... it can be evil on your skin so really good handcream might be nice

You could try transfer sheets. You print any picture onto them and then iron onto your garment. Then you could put anything on the front of your sweatshirt

I haven't tried this one but have used one similar.

Does he/she read? If so, what about a copy of 'The Nine Tailors' by Dorothy L. Sayers? It's a Lord Peter Whimsey murder mystery set around a team of bellringers. There are lots of close references to bellringing throughout - quite informative to a non-ringer but I would imagine very interesting to another ringer.
