Bookish Gifts for Kids and Teens That Like to Read

As a die-hard book nerd, it’s no surprise that I’m always on the lookout for bookish gifts for kids.

In fact, most of the gifts under our Christmas tree end up being either books or book-related gifts.

Let’s face it—books make the best presents! They offer kids some brain stimulation, imagination boosting, and if it’s fiction, an escape from reality. They can be read repeatedly and loved for years.

Here are some super fun books and bookish gifts for kids and teens (and adults)! Happy shopping and Merry Christmas! (Or happy whatever holiday you celebrate/don’t celebrate).

A Digital Library Subscription

Epic works the same way Netflix does. For $8 a month, you can access their massive library of digital books, audio books, and read-to-me books. They also have educational videos, but you can turn that feature off if you want to.
