The Gift of Books: Gift Ideas

  • Donate a basket of books as a group gift for a baby shower
  • Check out www.enchantedbookery.com for the cutest coordinated bins and book gifts
  • Instead of a signed greeting card, bring a signed book to the shower or birthday party
  • Dollar stores, such as Dollar Tree, have books for $1 each; offer a variety of books as party favors for children to pick from
  • Give Illustory or My Comic Book from Lulujr.com. I bought Illustory for both of my kids for Christmas from Amazon.com. We’ll be doing a blog post about this product as soon as we get the final book back in a few weeks! The gist is that your child writes and illustrates their own book. You submit their work to Lulu, and in a few weeks you'll receive a hardcover book for your budding author/illustrator.

  • Ask for books as gifts to donate to a library or children’s group home
  • Check out personalized books, such as Hooray Heroes. You personalize the names and appearance of the children in the books. My kids have loved their Hooray Heroes personalized books. You can check them out on instagram @hoorayheroes

  • Kohl’s sells Kohl’s Cares books and the matching plush for $5 each (e.g., my sister’s family got my daughter a stuffed Curious George paired with Curious George and the Puppies book). Bonus: it benefits the Kohl’s Cares charity.

  • Pair a book with dress up clothes (e.g., Doc McStuffins book with doctor dress-up clothes)
  • Pair a book with a toy or craft project. The possibilities are endless, but here are some examples: The Very Hungry Caterpillar plus play food, a book about construction vehicles paired with a toy dump truck, or a Pantone color book for kids with a toddler watercolor set.
  • Pair a book with a plant or seeds. You might even through in a trowel and gloves. For example, you could pair What the World Needs Now: Trees with a sapling. This allows the child to plant their gift and watch it grow.
  • Book/reading lights
  • Magazine subscription (e.g., Highlights magazine for kids)
  • Book box subscription (e.g., Literati for kids)
  • Book shelves and other book storage solutions
  • Fun bookmarks
