No 12
A bookmark tells you what page you were on. A Book Dart tells you the exact line. These are paper-thin pointed metal clips that slide onto the page edge so the tip rests precisely on the sentence you want to find again. They grip firmly enough to survive being tossed in a bag, and because there is no adhesive, they never leave residue, never fall out like sticky flags, and never require the small crime of dog-earing a page.
The tin holds 125 darts in mixed metal finishes, and the hinged tin itself is half the charm, small enough to live on a nightstand or in a backpack pocket. These land perfectly with the readers who underline in their heads because they cannot bring themselves to write in a book: students, cookbook cooks, researchers, and anyone who quotes passages back at you from memory. It is stocking stuffer money for a gift that gets used for a decade, which is a ratio almost nothing else on a gift list can match.
