Our books are geared towards kiddos... our Children's Literature expertise spans from roughly 0-12 years old.  But given enough input, we're willing to shop and bundle for anyone! 

We're happy to accommodate siblings!  There are a couple of options...

1) Order separate bundles so each child has their own set of 12 books

2) Order one bundle and give us some "middle ground" (for example, "Both of my girls love horses!" or "My kids are fans of non-fiction, and they're going through a reptiles phase")

3) Order one bundle and tell us how to divide up the books (for example, "Half of the books will go to my 6 year old, and the other half to my 10 year old" or "Divide the 12 books up between 3 brothers - and label each bundle of 4 accordingly")

If your order is placed by Dec 5, we guarantee your books will be ready for the countdown on Dec 13.  If you're within 15 miles of Waunakee, WI, we're happy to deliver them straight to your door!  Or if you'd prefer, we can get them to you a different way.  Our order form will allow you to indicate your preference.  We're also sometimes willing to travel more than 15 miles - just ask!

All kinds!  We're constantly on the hunt for thrifted books that are in brand new or excellent condition.  We collect a wide range including board books for babies, pre-teen/teen lit, picture books, graphic novels, non-fiction books, and more!  

Bundles cost $100 and include: customization, gift wrapping, and delivery!

You totally can do this yourself, and we'd love to know that our idea has spread!  The more children reading, the better!  However, if you do order from us, please know you're supporting two local mamas (and their families) during the holiday season.  You're also taking a big job off your to-do list!  Finding & wrapping books is time and money consuming.  We take great pride in our bundles and hope that you'll enjoy them as well.

We've got a healthy supply of backup books for that!  Your child is welcome to swap any unwanted book with one that we have in our stash.  

We like to think of ourselves as "The Book Elves".  But our names outside the North Pole are Shannon & Angela.  We started "12 Books 'til Christmas" in 2022.  We had so much fun during our inaugural year, we knew it needed to become a yearly tradition. We're both Waunakee local mamas who love spreading joy ♥️  

Shannon is a literal ray of sunshine who brings fun wherever she roams.  Extra sunscreen recommended around her.  She's amazing at making sure people find out about our bundles and ensuring that we're creating top notch experiences for everyone who participates!

Angela has bachelors & masters degrees in elementary & middle level education, a current middle school teacher, and a lifetime of creativity.  She loves to help kiddos find reading materials that engage & inspire.  

Together they create beautiful book bundles that are kid, parent, and Santa approved!
