Welcome to Susan's Books and Gifts–an independently owned used and new Central Nebraska bookstore!   

Susan's Toy Shop is now known as the best kids' store in Nebraska! And, we don't think we're exaggerating. If you're within driving distance, or passing nearby on I-80, bring your kids to play while you get a great cup of coffee and take a moment to catch your breath.

Susan's independent used bookstore now has over 8,000 books and growing. We always take books if you need to clear your shelves. We use this money to help fund giving books away in our community (to elderly, those grieving, new mothers, and students) and to help fund promotions within our store. Our new books consist of my favorite books that I've written about in my "Thursday Newsletters" along with journals and other encouraging and inspiring books. Special orders of all other titles are placed two times per week and the books arrive within a week. We would love to get your books for you — all with shipping paid by us for books that are picked up in the store.

Susan's Gift Shop is full of "My Favorite Things" – gifts that I've purchased for my own home and kids. We're especially proud of our Crabtree & Evelyn products and our extensive line of Quotables. Our game section is full of our favorites that my own family plays. Our gifts for young children are from lines I has purchased for my own kids. And the coffee is just as I love it: mostly cream filler (grin).

If you're not in our area, we look forward to helping you by shipping you the best of the best for kids’ gifts, beautiful gifts, and great books. We can't wait to meet you and help you! You can contact me through my e-mail at susansbooksandgifts@gmail.com.

We'd love to have you join us on Facebook (be sure to hit "like" to get information on what we're doing and specials we have).

Have a great day and thank you for your business!!! As I say daily, "There is no way we could be here without you!" How thankful we are when you choose our store with so many other options of places to spend your money. We truly are proud to be the one you pick!!! 

I hope you have time to read some of our past newsletters. We want our site to be one where you find joy, comfort, encouragement, and hope. We have the moments given to us today. Our gift. May the epitaph we write tonight in stone have words worthy of inscription. Regardless of our circumstances, let us continue to read, to look to authors for our strength. To keep our perspective. Our eternal perspective. We have been given the gift of this day. Let's make our moments worthy of the gift of life. 

Yours, Susan
