Let’s be honest, besides a new stack of novels, the next best gift for bookworms is book merch. And if you’re reading this, there’s a really good chance that you have some friends whose Holiday Wishlists are begging for bookish treats. (Not to mention, it’s the perfect way to fill up an I Wish It Were Mine list to slip into the hands of your honey.)
