Christmas Gifts for the Booklover in Us All

November 22, 2023 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends and Happy Wednesday! I thought it would be fun to share some booklover Christmas gifts as it’s quickly becoming that time of year. I had the best time “shopping” and I now have my personal Christmas wish list intact.  Hope you’ll enjoy the items too. 

I remember curling up in bed with a book, but this is an entirely new way of doing so. But why just go with a blanket when you can go with a full bed set, pillow, and all. 

Whoever came up with a book bed is a genius. Such creativity! 

Of course, no book lover is set without a little bookworm jewelry, and here’s a gorgeous jewelry box to store it in. 

I absolutely adore the colors, and here are a few lovely items you can store in it. 

I love each piece of jewelry, but the Shakespeare earrings are my favorite. I’m a huge Shakespeare lover. It’s hard to pick a favorite play, but if hard-pressed I’d go with Much Ado About Nothing and, of course, his Sonnets. But my favorite line by Shakespeare comes from A Midsummer’s Night Dream: “And though she be but little, she is fierce.” If you could pick any piece of literature or line from literature to be on a piece of jewelry, what would it be?

Speaking of favorites…my favorite novel of all time is Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Everybody collects something. What do you collect? I adore purses and bags. It drives my poor husband nuts, but this just made the top of my Christmas wish list.

And for that seasonal outdoor fun….

Book planters. What a great idea! They are made out of ceramic or some I found are made out of brick but how fun to have a literary garden. I think it would be fun to label each with a title like The Secret Garden or Peter Rabbit. 

What a lovely way to spend summer days reading outside. I know this is probably made with kids in mind, but I wouldn’t mind hiding away and reading a warm, lazy summer day away. 

I was trying to find a unique bookmark, but I found so many, that I want to share my top three. My favorite being the last. Hope you enjoy! 

Question: 

Which gift above was your favorite? Or what would your favorite book lover gift be? 

Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving! 

Best,

Dani

    What a great batch of products! I have never seen some of those. As a native Kansan, I think my favorite has to be the Wicked Witch of the West’s ruby slippers and striped socks. Made me smile! 🙂

      Actually, it is the Wicked Witch of the East, the one who was crushed under the house!. The Wicked Witch of the West is the green one Dorothy had to contend with. I own the door stop of the striped socks and ruby slippers, but I love that bookmark!! I’m a Wizard of Oz fan and have many gift items and Christmas ornaments to prove it.

        Oh! You’re right, Robin! Duh! I always did get my directions mixed up! 😉

      I know. They were my favorite bookmark. Loved them and made me smile too.

      I know. The purse is officially on my Christmas wish list 🙂 Love them both!

    I like the Pride & Prejudice purse. My favorite bookish gift — besides books 😉 ha — would be cute little book bookends.

      Book bookends sound lovely!
      Happy Thanksgiving.

    The purse and jewelry box are my favorites. I also like the book planters minus the plants since I have a ‘black’ thumb. Those bookmarks are adorable, too. Thanks for sharing the great gift ideas.

      I have a black thumb too. Poor plants never make it in my house except two succulents, but I think those are hard even for me to kill.

    These are so cute! I especially love the bookmark “shoes” as it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. 🙂

    Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

    My oldest would love the book planter. She is an avid reader and collects plants like I collect chocolate. 😜 I think she has 40+ plants right now. They have their own room in her place.

    I love the bookmark with the witches stockings/legs up in the air.

    I adore the bookmark with the witches feet sticking up from The Wizard of Oz.
