Book-related gifts

Book light

A book light is a subtle way to say “I love that you read, but please turn off the lamp so I can go to sleep.”

Audible subscription

As much as I love to sit down and read a paperback book, listening to books has been a game changer for me since I can listen during car rides or while I get ready or clean.

Reader’s journal

This reader’s journal is perfect for jotting down thoughts, quotes, and ratings from the books you’re reading. It’s also a great place to keep track of the books you’ve read and the ones you’d like to start!

Loom Journals

I know I’m a wee bit biased, but the Loom Parent-Child Journal and our brand new Loom Love Journal (for couples) make such meaningful gifts.

Moon lite

This little gadget takes bedtime stories to the next level. You’re able to easily project your favorite storybooks on the wall or ceiling of your child’s bedroom, only using your smartphone and the Moonlite.

Wooden Harry Potter music box

We bought this as a family gift this year and I think I’m more excited than anyone else will be!

Public Press book-in-one-page

This brilliant local (to me) shop prints entire books on one page. I have “Alice in Wonderland” in our playroom, and I love it. They have Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare’s sonnets, Anne of Green Gables, Peter Pan, and more. These prints would make a beautiful addition to any room.
