The 2025 Gift Guide for Serious Readers

This holiday season, the team at Readwise put our heads together to round up the best gifts for the reader in your life. And hey, if that's you, feel free to send this link to your friends and family for a little nudge, nudge 😉

Stocking Stuffers

Little gifts to tuck into a reader's holiday stocking.

🗒️ Not your basic sticky notes

Wisereads editor Abi loves making custom sticky notes on Shutterfly with her landscape photos. They're way more fun to write on and display than neon pink sticky notes, and they're also great for keeping track of what passages she wants to upload from her physical reads to Readwise vía OCR.

🎄 Book bauble ornament

Start a new holiday tradition by customizing a mini book collection ornament to celebrate a full year of reading.

🪙 Flip for your fate

Have you ever been indecisive about whether to read another chapter or wrap up for the night? Let this coin to decide your evening's fate.

Elevated Essentials

Upgrades to everyday items to make reading life feel a little more magical.

🕯️ Fig Tree Candle by Diptyque

There’s something extremely luxurious about lighting a candle as you prepare for a reading session. And the holidays are the perfect opportunity to treat yourself (or someone you love) to a little bit of warmth and luxury. This candle will be a showstopper, and it might even spark memories for many holiday seasons to come.

👕 Eberjey pajamas

Perhaps our most used company swag to date, these luxe pajamas are perfect for the cozy reader in your life (or yourself). Some teammates even bought a second pair so they are never without them on wash day. While ours are embroidered with the Readwise logo, you can add a special touch to yours with a monogrammed pocket. ✨

Reading Tech Upgrades

Smart upgrades for the devices you already use to read.

📱 Matte screen protector

Are you considering an e ink device but not quite ready to make the switch? Community manager Erin just got this matte screen protector for her iPad. Combined with a few color setting tweaks, it gives her screen a paper-like, eink look.

🤳 Ergonomic Bookcase phone case

Most people already use their phones as their main device for reading. It's always with them, always charged, and always convenient. Support specialist Angie recommends Bookcase because it makes your phone feel more like a book. There's no extra device to buy, no new interface to learn, and less clutter in your pockets and bags. Perfect for anyone who keeps a library in Readwise Reader.

Library Customizations

Show off your personality on your shelf.

🧱 Lego book nook

Technical writer Cayla recommends the LEGO Sherlock Holmes and LEGO LOTR Balrog book nooks to create a special scene between your tomes.

🌸 DIY bookshop book nook

If you're in the market for a book nook but your taste is a little more cutesy, this whimsical bookshop might be right up your alley. Support specialist Romi got her sister this book nook a while ago, and it still is one of her favorite gifts. She found both the craft and the final product charming.

🔖 Book embosser

Get this book embosser for the readers in your life who love lending and recommending books but rarely see them again.

A couple of favorite reads

What gift list would be complete without a few good books?

❄️ Let it Snow

The rumor is true: you can never be too old for a Young Adult novel. Specially if it was written by John Green. This book features all the Holiday classics: waffles, communication issues, a little romance, and a lot of snow. Read it or gift it this season.

💌 Letters From Father Christmas

Did you know Tolkien wrote letters from the North Pole to his kids? You can dive into the wonderful adventures from Santa, his helpers, and his reindeer in this first ever edition that compiles them all.
