Gifts for Cozy Vibes, Home, Decor, Host and Hostess Gifts
Heading to a holiday party? Don’t show up empty-handed! Bring the host or hostess a charming holiday gift, like a candle or something cozy for bedtime. Or treat yourself to one of these items and have a holiday soiree of one.
Stocking Stuffers and Tiny Treats
Tiny gift. Big joy. Most of these items are $5 to $20. Affordable yet oh-so delightful. Obviously you know someone who needs book-inspired literary lip balm or a card deck with encouraging messages from dogs!
Tiny Books and Quick Reads
Sometimes, you’re craving a great book but don’t have tons of free time to read it. You want a quick read. Something you can read in an hour or two — or during a coffee break. We’ve got you covered!
Check out our collection of Tiny Books. All of these books are around 50 to 100 pages long. Inspiring stories. Wonderful tips. Brief format. You’ll devour these books quickly and feel a sense of accomplishment! Tell your friends, “I read numerous books in the last month.”

For Kids
For the little person in your life. Fun, creative, age-appropriate gifts for tiny humans.
For Your Parents or Grandparents
Say, “I love you” to your mom, dad, or grandparents. Many of these gifts can be used to collect stories from elders—creating a legacy book or time capsule of memories. More than a gift, it’s an opportunity to bond with your loved one and (perhaps) hear a few stories they haven’t told you before!
