I can’t believe I’m thinking about Christmas already because it’s still 80 degrees out here but now that I have a child I find that I’m already getting excited planning for things we will do, the Christmas traditions we will start and the few gifts I want to get her.
So naturally, after everyone seemed to really geek out over my Harry Potter Christmas decorations post, I decided this year I would put together a list of my favorite book lover approved Christmas ornaments and decorations to help book lovers add a bit of literary love to their Christmas tree and home.
I love adding touches of my book-loving ways into my home and my wardrobe and Christmas is no exception and I suspect some of you are the same so I hope you find this roundup of the best literary Christmas ornaments and other decorations to be helpful either for yourself or as a gift.

Literary/ Book Lover Christmas Ornaments & Decorations For 2023
Mostly what I’ve found is ornaments but I really, really love some of the book page Christmas decorations I found.
I know some people cringe at butchering a book like that but it doesn’t really bother me to repurpose or upcycle old books or damaged books that nobody is going to read anymore anyways.
Etsy is always my go-to for all that fun stuff so you will see a lot of Etsy creations on this list — plus I love supporting small businesses.
Christmas Ornaments For Book Lovers
I’ve been making it a goal of mine to get a new and unique Christmas ornament for our tree every year — whether it’s from a location of somewhere we traveled or an interest of mine — so these ornaments for book lovers are really of interest to me to add to my collection.
Book Page Ornaments
So many creative ornament ideas made from book pages! Some of them would fit in nicely with your regular ornaments if you aren’t doing a book themed tree!
This Book Page Bauble Ornament:
I love that this clear bauble is filled with pages of books! This shop in particular has so many different book selections to pick from — The Giving Tree, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter and even Sarah J. Maas. I really want to get myself the A Little Princess one they have in the shop.
They also have the option for ornament sets which I really love if you aren’t looking to just grab one ornament!
This set of wood slice ornaments features the most darling book page flower, amirite? Definitely cute if you are going for a more rustic Christmas look! And, I can tell you, they are HIGH quality!

Other book-themed Christmas ornaments
If you are looking for a small gift for a reader, this personalized book ornament is so cute! I want to get one for both Riley and I!
This shop will let you pick which books you want in your stack AND how you want them displayed (stack, splayed out, etc) which I think is so cool!
A perfect gift for a reader friend to get them a custom ornament with their fave books or maybe a book stack ornament for your book club with the selections you’ve read! Great book club gift!
Emily Cromwell “Bookshop” ornament:
I always have recommended Emily Cromwell’s “All I Want For Christmas Is Books” ornament for YEARS on this post (the same one that I own) and sadly it’s no longer available.
HOWEVER, she has this adorable bookshop ornament amongst others (including a NEW “All I Want For Christmas Is Books” ornament so check those out here.
I will be updating my Emily Cromwell ornament collection with this one because it’s my new favorite!!
Personalized Girl Reading Book Ornament:
This personalized book lover ornament is so cute — get your name plus your favorite books written on the spines AND you can customize what the person looks like! Would make a great gift.
This ornament is a flat, 2D style ornament and it is made from acrylic — just to note in case you were looking for something 3D. This is not 3D!!
There’s other listings for other styles so check that out here!
Cozy Christmas book stack wooden ornament:
This cozy stack of Christmas classics is such a cute touch to a tree! It’s wooden with twine to hang it with the twine coming in 4 different colors you can choose from. Great festive stocking stuffer for a book lover!
This shop has so many other cute book lover things — like jewelry, bookmarks, prints and more!
They do ship from the UK (so time & a little more for shipping) but I literally cannot find any wooden book ornaments like this and with such high quality so it’s worth it to me personally.
A cute ceramic ornament that says “Reading Is Cool” (because it is) that would look stylish on any Christmas tree! This shop also has a really cute ornament in the same style that says “The Year I Read All The Books 2023“.

Book Page Green Christmas Tree:
These little book page trees are the cutest little Christmas decoration for book lovers! I’m in awe of how a book is transformed into a tree like this! What a perfect addition to your holiday decor — would look great on a mantel or a table. I also think it could be a fun book club gift if yours exchanges gifts!
