Today's post is packed full of fun! Not only am I sharing these new plaid printable Christmas bookmarks (they're a free download below), but I also have a list of gift ideas for the readers in your life. As a very avid reader, I'm super excited to share these wonderful finds with you. See all of this holiday goodness below.

Today's Christmas bookmarks are word-free, but in that festive plaid I've been loving lately (have you already checked out my free printable plaid Christmas Cards?). These bookmarks make darling stocking stuffers. Or, use them for yourself to add a bit of holiday cheer to your latest novel. See all four plaid designs available below.

I'm really hoping y'all aren't over my plaid streak...because I'm still really loving it. There is just something about those Christmas plaids that truly make me smile. These freebies are available further down in the post. But first, as promised, I'm sharing several practical (and affordable) gift ideas for all of the readers in your life. 

Gift Ideas for Readers

If you're looking for a notebook to use as a reading log or companion journal to books, I have several of these plaid notebooks available on Amazon. They coordinate with today's Christmas bookmarks perfectly and would make a cute gift with a bookmark tucked inside. See the different designs listed below:

• Classic Christmas Plaid Red Notebook
• Blue, Red, and Green Plaid Notebook
• Yellow, Blue, Red, and Green Plaid Notebook
• White, Yellow, Blue, Red, and Green Plaid Notebook

And this Bookmarks are for Quitters coffee mug goes against all of my love of bookmarks, but goodness, it's ADORABLE. Find it below on Amazon:

• Bookmarks are for Quitters Mug

I think one of these personalized library stamps is about to find its way into my husband's stocking. This is such a thoughtful gift for anyone with an extensive collection (or stack!). Find it below on Amazon:

• Personalized Library Stamps

What avid reader wouldn't love this sweet Stack of Books ornament? I am a yearly ornament collector, so I love that it includes a date on it. Find it below on Amazon:

• Stack of Books Ornament

I actually have a pair of these So Many Books, So Little Time socks on my wish list (in hopes my family sees them!). Truer words were never spoken. See these below on Amazon:

• So Many Books, So Little Time socks

Again, more fantastic words...perfectly uttered from the mouths of many a reader! Grab this fun mug below on Amazon:

• Yes, I really do need all these books mug

And this Bookshelves Mask has such a great print on it. I love all of those fun books going this way and that. Find this mask below on Amazon:

• Bookshelves Mask

Wow! This Personal Library Kit is not only useful, but it's so vintage-feeling and adorable (and practical!). The readers in your life will love loaning out books with these cute cards inside. Find this below on Amazon:

• Personal Library Kit

A book bag is always a staple in my life! I get my books back and forth to the library in mine...and if it's cute, that's all the better. See these three (above pictured) designs below on Amazon:

• Drink Tea - Read Books - Be Happy Tote Bag
• Happiness is a Cup of Coffee and a Good Book Tote Bag
• Library Card Tote Bag

I already have a bookish t-shirt that I love, but I may have to add this It's a Good Day to Read a Book t-shirt to my wish list. It's available in many color options through the Amazon link below:

• It's a Good Day to Read a Book t-shirt

Free Plaid Printable Christmas Bookmarks

And of course, my favorite gift of all for the readers out there is a bookmark. I always bring my new bookmark designs (printed and ready to use) to my book club friends as little gifts. They always enjoy them, too!

Printing and Using Your Bookmarks

• Make sure you always print any of my free printable bookmarks onto white, letter-sized cardstock (regular paper is too thin). You can purchase white, letter-sized cardstock here on Amazon. 
• These bookmarks print four to a page. Each bookmark is a different, festive plaid.
• I provided a thin outline around each bookmark to make your cutting easier. I like to use my Fiskars Paper Cutter to make quick and tidy work of cutting (pictured above). You can purchase this same paper cutter here on Amazon.
• While these bookmarks are wonderful simply printed and cut, I also love to dress them up a bit, as well, using these plastic bookmark sleeves I purchased here on Amazon. 
• You can also grab the coordinating tassels here on Amazon. I used the green tassels to coordinate with the plaid. 
• Instead of purchasing tassels, see my video below on How to Make Yarn Tassels (they can easily be attached to your bookmark through a hole punch or also using the plastic bookmark sleeves).

While the plastic bookmark sleeves are great for protecting your bookmarks, they work just fine without them, too (as pictured above). 

• On the bookmark on the left (above), I just used a simple tassel tied through a hole. I used a smaller, 1/8" hole punch to keep the hole's size to a minimum.
• On the middle bookmark, I simply punched a 1/8" hole and used festive Baker's Twine tied through it.
• And then the bookmark on the above right does have the plastic protector and tassel on it. Using these prevents the need to hole punch your bookmark.

Download Your Bookmarks:

• Download these bookmarks via Droplr here (readers' preferred method).
• Download these bookmarks via Dropbox here.
