The Reading Setup
Good light, a comfortable spot, and the books themselves.
Even devoted paper-book people end up loving this for bed and travel. Warm backlight for reading in the dark, and the battery lasts for weeks.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB 7" Glare-Free Black
Clips to the book, has a warm amber setting, and lets her read in bed without waking anyone. The stocking stuffer every reader actually uses.
Glocusent USB Rechargeable Book Light
Turns a bed into a reading chair. Supports the back and both elbows, so no more stacking three pillows that slide down by chapter two.
Faux Fur Backrest Pillow with Arms
For the reader who journals or does crosswords in bed. Soft underside, firm top, and a slot that holds her phone upright.
LAPGEAR Designer Lap Desk with Phone Holder
Cozy Layers
Warm things for long chapters on cold nights.
A cardigan that feels like a blanket you can answer the door in. Oversized by design, so it works across sizes, including plus.
Barefoot Dreams® CozyChic™ Lite Island Cardigan
The slipper that goes from reading chair to mailbox. Shearling inside, real sole outside, and it sells out every December, so order early.
UGG® Tasman Slipper (Women)
Sherpa on one side, fleece on the other, and it costs about what a hardcover does. Pick a color that matches her couch and it looks intentional.
Bedsure Black Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket
Book Lover Extras
Little things that make a reader smile.

A small, pretty hardcover about getting cozy on purpose. The right book to tuck in with a blanket or a candle.
The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets
Sweet and spicy without any sugar, and the tin is pretty on a shelf. The tea I'd pour for a long evening with a novel.
