Christmas Surprise Boxes are packed full of delightful Christmas and Winter books, as well as cozy holiday goodies. These boxes come in four different levels: mommy and baby, picture book, middle grade, and young adult!
Bookish Gifts
Puzzles, teas, plushies, and accessories, oh my!
Create a perfectly bookish evening in a gift: A bookish puzzle to put together for a cozy evening, with a literary tea and a bookish mug to drink the tea from, cuddle with a book character plushie, plus cozy book-themed socks. What’s not to love?
Buying for someone who likes things a little more shiny? We have bookish necklaces and pins, too!
Audiobooks
If you’re ready to get a start on your holiday shopping, audiobook memberships through Libro.fm make the perfect gift! You choose the membership (1, 3, 6, or 12 months/credits), your gift recipient picks their own audiobooks, and you support our shop with your purchase.
BONUS: When you buy a 12-month audiobook gift membership through The Story Shop, we’ll get half of the retail price on those sales—that’s $90 from your purchase!
Libro.fm audiobook gift memberships are available worldwide, and you can purchase them for yourself in addition to giving them as gifts. If you want to gift a specific audiobook, you can do that too!
