Or order a Surprise Box of Books and dedicate it to holiday titles! We’ll pack the box full of delightful Christmas and Winter books, and maybe even some cozy holiday goodies like hot cocoa and holiday candy.
Bookish Gifts
Puzzles, teas, plushies, and accessories, oh my!
Create a perfectly bookish evening in a gift: A bookish puzzle to put together for a cozy evening, with a literary tea and a bookish mug to drink the tea from, cuddle with a book character plushie, plus cozy book-themed socks. What’s not to love?
Buying for someone who likes things a little more shiny? We have bookish pins and glittery fairy wands, too!
Audiobooks
If you’re ready to get a start on your holiday shopping, audiobook memberships through Libro.fm make the perfect gift! You choose the membership (1, 3, 6, or 12 months/credits), your gift recipient picks their own audiobooks, and you support our shop with your purchase.
BONUS: This holiday season, when you purchase a credit bundle (for someone else or for yourself) you'll get a free seasonal audiobook as our gift to you!
Libro.fm audiobook gift memberships are available worldwide, and you can purchase them for yourself in addition to giving them as gifts. If you want to gift a specific audiobook, you can do that too!
Giving Back
Help us give the gift of reading this Christmas to kids in the Team Up Mentoring program! Each child has chosen a book, all you need to do is make the purchase! No need to choose, it’s so easy. A great gift for the hard-to-buy-for or the charitably-minded!
