Light up their holiday and support Writers in the Schools (WITS). In honor of SAL’s 30th Anniversary, 10% of each ‘cabo’ blue votive purchase will be donated to SAL in support of our WITS program. ‘Cabo’ votives will also light the edge of the stage at each Benaroya Hall event this season (along with other colors inspired by the SAL season).

Phinney by Post

Surprise them with a monthly book subscription by our friend and bookstore partner, Phinney Books! Phinney by Post is the monthly book subscription service from Phinney Books that gets delivered to your door. Every month (or every other month) they’ll send you, or the person subscribed to their service, a surprise paperback book, with a short note from them to introduce it. Choose from a Full Plan, a True (non-fiction), or a Made-Up (fiction) plan. Learn more.
