Holiday Gift Picks from Cicada Books & Coffee
One of the standout offerings this season is Cicada’s new lineup of themed coffee mugs. From the disappearing Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland to a bold Rocky Horror Picture Show design and a moody Edgar Allan Poe mug, each piece adds personality to a morning routine. They’re fun, functional, and perfect for readers who love a little whimsy with their caffeine.
For those drawn to natural beauty, Cicada also carries a selection of framed butterflies and moths, often referred to as entomology shadow boxes. These delicate, ethically sourced specimens make striking wall art or bookshelf accents, with each piece showcasing the intricate patterns and colors found in nature.
The shop is also well-stocked with new books and puzzles for cozy winter days. A highlight this year is the locally created Marshall University Campus Map Puzzle by Linda Childers, which makes a meaningful gift for MU students, alumni, and anyone who loves Huntington. Pair it with a new read, and you’ve got a perfect quiet-evening-at-home gift.
And for something small but distinctive, Cicada offers themed playing cards. Decks inspired by Sherlock Holmes, tattoo-style artwork, and other creative designs turn a simple game-night staple into a memorable gift or stocking stuffer.
