A Personalized Book

Personalized books are wonderful Christmas gifts for babies and toddlers. Little readers love seeing themselves in their favorite books and these stories always become their favorite bedtime (or anytime) read.

My favorite site for buying personalized picture books is Put Me In The Story. They have a large selection of popular and bestselling titles that you can’t find on other sites. Create a one-of-a-kind personalized book your kids will love!

Gift Ideas for Pre-Teens (Ages 8-12)

The Adventurers Guild by Zack Loran Clark and Nick Eliopulos

I read this book and instantly fell in love with it. Then my nine-year-old daughter read it and fell in love with it. She gave it to a friend and the friend fell in love with it too.

This is one of the best middle-grade fantasy novels I’ve read in a long time. If you want to make your voracious book lover happy this Christmas, give them this book.

Gift Ideas for Teens (Ages 13-18)

Warcross by Marie Lu

Marie Lu is on fire right now. Warcross is her newest novel on the market and it’s on every book lover’s wish list.

It’s about a girl who hacks her way into a popular game and thrusts herself into the media spotlight by doing so. Young adult readers that love gaming (or just a good book) will be thrilled to unwrap this book.

[button url=”http://amzn.to/2BBZjoE”]Amazon[/button]

The Maze Runner Boxed Set by James Dashner

The Death Cure movie is coming out soon, so it’s the perfect time to snag this boxed set for your book lover. This series is a must-have for YA readers and it’s a great gift idea for Christmas.

Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao

I read this book last summer and loved it to pieces. It’s the story of Snow White’s evil stepmother and how she came into power — in an East Asian setting. To be honest, it’s mesmerizing.

This book is definitely for the older YA crowd, though. It has some pretty violent scenes and themes that are better suited for ages 16 and up. This is a great bookish gift idea for teens and young adults that love fantasy, fairy tales, and villains.

Gift Ideas for Her (grown-ups)

Book of the Month Club Subscription

If you want to give her a gift she can enjoy month after month, a Book of the Month Club subscription is your answer. Book lovers, bibliophiles, and reading junkies love getting a box full of happiness every month.

When it comes to bookworm subscription boxes, Book of the Month is one of my favorites. You get to pick your book, add more books, or skip a month as needed.

I LOVE my Book of the Month subscription. It keeps me on top of popular reads for grownups and gives me a community to tap into.

Out of the Ordinary by Jen Turano

Jen Turano is one of my favorite Christian authors. Her books are light and funny and so, so sweet. You won’t have any cause to blush while reading one of her books.

I always give Jen’s books to my mom for Christmas. Out of the Ordinary is Jen Turano’s newest release and the second book in her new series. Get Behind the Scenes (book #1) and download the free novella At Your Request to round out your gift.

If your mom is like mine, or if you have a friend that likes clean, funny reads, this is a wonderful gift idea.

One of the best books I read all year! This is a beautiful story and a beautiful book.

Fans of Jane Eyre, Jane Austen, or any of those gorgeous old classics will fall head over heels in love with Mr. Rochester.

I can’t say enough good things about this book. I read it, then I gave it to my neighbor and she read it. We both loved it.
