25 Cozy Christmas Gifts for Book Lovers

Buying a book for a reader is a coin flip. They've read it, they own it, or they have a considered reason for avoiding it. Buying something about reading is a much safer bet.

This is a list of miniature bookshops, libraries and reading nooks, each one personalized with the reader's name on the shop sign or the spine of a book. Every piece is under $20 and made in the USA.

Before you choose

  • Wood or acrylic, and they are genuinely different. Laser-cut wood suits a warm, traditional tree. Layered acrylic has depth and colour and suits a modern one.
  • Use the shop sign. Most of these put the name on a storefront, so "Emily's Books" reads better than just "Emily".
  • Buy the set. Three bookshop ornaments on one tree looks deliberate. It's also under $45.

Bookshop fronts in laser-cut wood

The strongest category in the whole range, and the one that photographs best.

Reading nooks and library interiors

For the reader with a specific aesthetic

"Just a Girl Who Loves Books"

A phrase that shows up on a lot of readers' tote bags, so it tends to be safe.

For a reader marking a milestone

How personalization and shipping work

Every piece on this page is personalized at no extra cost — names, dates and photos are included in the price, not an add-on. Each one is printed and finished in the USA and ships from a US facility, and personalized orders are made after you place them.

For US delivery before December 25, order by December 10. Photo pieces take an extra day, so treat December 8 as the cutoff for those. Everything is covered by our 45-Day Happiness Guarantee.
