Bookish Gifts for Readers

Kriti’s recommendations are for the bookish creative in your life. From fiction to nonfiction to just wholesome creativity, here are some great ideas for gifts this holiday season!

Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

Shop: Local Bookstores & Major Retailers

One of the many books I loved this year, I recommend Hello Beautiful for the reality of life that it portrays through its endearing characters. A tribute to Little Women, this book is about hard choices and how familial love continues even if there are miles in between.

The hand holding the book has a small tattoo, and the overall scene is set outdoors, with the sunlight casting soft shadows on the grass.

Stickers

Shop: MMM Stationary

MMMstationery has an amazing selection of stickers and my journal is beautiful because of them. I write a lot and getting 40+ stickers for each month usually serves me well. I love embellishing my journal with these.
