I’m just gonna link this video to anyone who asks me what I want this year 💕🫡

[@Axsha496]

As you should!!!

[@jenniferpalmer5130]

I have just done the same ❤

[@sincerelymadigrace]

😌

[@Itsezyyyy__]

Right lol was literally thinking about sharing to people

[@user-yu4nv9xg3j]

Wish we celebrated Christmas in Taiwan 😢

[@Sar1386]

I don’t know if It was said and I missed it but another great gift for readers (or anyone else) is a cozy blanket/throw, it’s so nice especially now that the weather has changed to sit down with a book a hot tea/chocolate and a throw blanket definitely keeps u warm and comfortable for the hours of reading ahead. Hope everyone has great reads to come for the rest of the year.

Adding all of these to my Christmas Wishlist 🫡🎄

[@lexikohl]

I had no idea a book sleeve was a thing! That would've saved so many of my books!

[@JessicaKusisto]

I'd love a video of you making your own book nook. I think that would be so fun!

[@tahliamartin6426]

I love my neck light when I read my books. I didn’t want to mess with clippings the light to the book, so I bought a neck light.

[@KristinMariexoxo]

The 12 days of Christmas actually don’t start until Christmas Day! It’s the 12 days starting on Christmas through January 5th (the Christmas celebrations go through then to lead up to Epiphany on 1/6). So the 12 books is still a perfect idea even to give on Christmas Day! Although it is a very fun idea if able to pull it together & gift someone in the advent season too!! Absolutely love this list of ideas!!! 😊

[@kendalliscool]

at 10:40 when you were talking about the book nooks, people often make these from kits that include all the pieces and easy to follow instructions. I recently bought one from amazon and its a fairy cottage. It's a really nice and calming activity to busy myself with! they typically take a very long time to complete but it's not necessarily complicated and anyone can do it if they have spare time.

[@katpablo]

So many great gift ideas, thank you! I just got so excited for the holiday season

[@allison.garcia]

Destiny getting Christmasy for her videos is such a mood😂❤

[@maddywilliams9040]

I’m the only person in my family who loves reading- might have to treat myself 😂

[@amandaalbright6921]

Absolutely love this! A few things I thought of are a neck light, strapsicle for kindle (size up if you have a clear case), a blanket or blanket hoodie, comfy lounge wear, blue light glasses (if you’re reading on your phone or iPad).

[@Sof_rha]

I’m def writing all of these on my wishlist - tysm for all the amazing tips❤

[@maryjomettler5337]

[@readsbyak]

[@straverry_tae]

🏃clicked on the notif so fast

[@zuhasyed]

i'm gonna buy all these for myself because i deserve it

[@ileanacabrera6548]

Unrelated to the video, your hair looks AMAZING!

[@isabellemae-]

Hey des, love your videos! Do you recommend a certain order in reading Lauren Asher’s series? I want to start reading her work but I don’t know what series to start with. Especially since the first book in her new series just came out.

[@filmedbycharlotte.]

Why is this exactly what I was looking for?

[@whitneywest3538]

Bookish creators, make something that says “Book Club. Number of members:1”

[@wolfme4030]

Love the ideas and I have more ideas now, thanks. I have to say though that YA is a demographic not a genre. Both Skyward and The Naturals are both YA series but Skyward is in the sci-fi genre and The Naturals is in the crime/thriller genre. 😊

[@caitlinwatch6597]

Girl! How on earth do you do your hair!!!!!!!!! I need to knowwwwwww. It looks insanely good

[@mariemmorales5901]

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast in my life

[@vitalinakulkova1125]

Love you❤

[@shelleylawrence8397]

Where do you put your book pins? Thanks for the great ideas!
