Whether you’re in search of gifting inspiration or on the hunt for something nice for yourself, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the 2025 Book Riot hub for all things holiday gifting!

We’ve put together guides to gifting for every reader (and non-reader) in your life, and at price points for every budget. Bookmark this page and check for weekly updates through the holidays (and even into the new year) so you don’t miss a thing.

We’ve already rounded up gifts for audiobook lovers and the coziest bookish holiday sweaters, and dropped our Book Riot staff guide to non-bookish gifting. Next up are stocking stuffer ideas, gifts under $30, the absolute best gifts for readers, and more.

But books! What about the books!? If you’d like to pair one of our suggestions with a read or two, there’s plenty to choose from in our Best Books of 2025. Whether you’re buying for a romantasy-obsessed reader, a horror aficionado, a mystery-loving kid, or a lover of narrative nonfiction, you’ll find something to delight your favorite readers with this holiday season.

Happy gifting, happy reading, and happy holidays!
