  • Looking for a Unique Gift? Send a Qustomized Quimby's Zine Package!

    Not sure what to get a certain tough-to-shop-for someone on your gift list this year? May we suggest a Qustomized Quimby’s Zine Package? You choose the denomination (we offer $25, $69, and $100 options) and tell us a little something about what your recipient is into, and our zine specialists will choose a unique assortment of self-published delights! Oh, and our Qustomized Quimby’s Zine Packages make a great lil’ treat for yourself, too.
    Here’s an example: The person who will receive the $25 Qustomized Zine Package in this photo loves animals, resisting our robot overlords, travel, smart cultural analysis, and slice-of-life stories. Look at that awesome selection of ziney goodness that will be arriving in their mailbox, along with some free Quimby’s bookmarks!
    Qustomized Zine Packages are available right here on our website only. If you’d like some help putting together a customized gift while shopping in our store, we’ll be happy to assist you in person! And yeah, if you prefer to let your gift recipient choose some fun new zines on their own, we’ve got gift cards available online and in-store, as well.
