Christmas Gift Guide 2017: Gifts for Readers

Gifts for Readers

The GIFTS FOR READERS category is always my favorite gift guide to put together because I love searching for and spotlighting interesting literary finds - beautiful books, reading accessories, lit-inspired clothing, and more!

As you know, I'm an avid reader and my goal for this year is 50 books. I'm on my 45th book now and Christmas break is approaching so I'm thinking there is a good chance that I'll make it to 60+ books before New Year's Eve!

Below you will find great gift ideas for bookish people.

FOLIOS

Pull out your Christmas Wish List. The Folio Society publishes gorgeous, collectible, limited-edition books with dazzling covers and magical illustrations.

Our top pick from the 2017 holiday collection is 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. It comes in a spotted box and is 10 out of 10 in terms of design appeal. The illustrations by Sara Ogilvie are "spot on" for the story - really fabulous.
