Books are such a simple, yet complex love. Even those of us who are completely converted to digital books, there will always be a shelf in the house dedicated to books. There’s just something about the smell of the pages, old or new, that make us bookworms feel like a part of history – somewhere between musty and dried ink. Or perhaps for you, it is the texture of the pages themselves. Old or new, each book possesses a different kind of paper and typeface that impacts the paper in different ways.

Regardless, the texture of a book will tell you precisely how old it is and how expensive it is – something that you can never really get in digital copies (depending on your source, of course). Whatever it is that turns you on about books, you’ll likely love these 21 book ornaments.

Fabric Library Card Ornament

21 Ornaments Bookworms Will Love

From the classics of literature, we move onto another type of classic: old-school library cards. This is a small fabric pillow, 5 inches by 3 inches, with your choice of string to hang it up with. You can choose either a white string or a fabric loop. Printed onto these adorable pillows are library cards.

If you don’t quite recall what those are, they were a kind of sign-up sheet where you signed your name and the librarian would stamp it with the appropriate dates. These cards are very rarely still used today, but this artisan has quite a few book options you can choose from. You can even choose a custom date, just in case you’d like to commemorate this particular Christmas.

Book Stack Ornament

Midwest Christmas Ornaments brings you this Book Stack ornament. Just as the title states, this ornament is a stack of 12 non-descript books, made of resin and hand-painted. It measures 2.5 inches by 3 inches and hangs on a simple eye hook with a silver string. This ornament is perfect for the bookworm in your family, or as a great gift for a beloved teacher.

 

 

Bookworm Ornament

This list of book ornaments for bookworms would not be complete without an actual bookworm. Here we have a glass ornament depicting an adorable green bookworm coiled atop an open book and reading. His black glasses and little hands make him look all the cuter. The book is white and the book it sits on is closed and red. The ornament measures 2.5 inches tall.


Willow Tree Ornament

I already own this one, and I can tell you that it is one of my favorite ornaments to put on my tree. Willow Tree’s work is always exceptional and this one is no different. With such simplicity, this artist manages to convey so much meaning.

In this case, the meaning pertains to a love of learning and keeping an open mind. The figure appears to be feminine and is pressing an open book to their chest – a gesture all bookworms have done at some point when the book we are reading had a particularly touching moment. This figure measures 4 inches in height and is made of resin.

 

Lord of the Rings Gandalf the Grey Ornament

Book Club Ornament

Speaking of sweet little jokes, this ornament is for any bookworms who have been a part of a book club before. As many of us know, book clubs can often be less about books and more about socializing and sharing a glass of wine with friends. This ornament makes a joke on that, stating on a placard that “I think my drinking club has a book problem!”

The Book Club Ornament is from Midwest Ornaments and measures 2.76 inches by 3.54 inches. It is a stack of books with the placard hanging below and tied with a red ribbon.

 

Polar Express Bell Ornament

 

How the Grinch Stole Christmas Ornament

“You’re a mean one… Mister Grinch!” No bookworm could ever forget the harrowing tale of How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Dr. Seuss will always be a household name. To commemorate the amazing tale, purchase this lovely Hallmark Grinch ornament. The Grinch stands on top of his own book, with a hint of the original illustrations, and is happily packing his sack with everything Christmas from the Whos of Whoville.
