This gift guide is geared towards preschoolers up to older kids, but we couldn’t resist slipping in a few baby bookish gifts: some of my very favorites are this cute Baby Goodnight Moon bodysuit and this Clifford Storybook Baby Blanket. We’ve included lots of independent shops and creators on this list, so watch those shipping deadlines and do them a favor by getting your orders in early. Shopping early goes a long way towards easing the pressure of both supply chain issues and ordinary seasonal stress for small businesses. Take note: there may be no shortage of options this year, but order now to make sure they arrive on your doorstep before you need them. This list includes gifts my kids have received over the years, gifts I’m planning on giving this year, and gifts I wish I had a reason to give this year. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone in this! For those who think book gifts are the best gifts, you’ll be pleased to see this year there’s no shortage of great gift ideas for the bookish kids in your life.

I’m sure no one will be shocked to hear that I love to give gifts of the readerly variety, and that this has been true for as long as I can remember.
