I love being cozy and I am a big believer in owning comfy clothes that make you happy, as opposed to wearing whatever old T-shirt and sweats are on hand for your hard-earned down time. There’s just something so luxurious about cozy pajamas that make you smile when you throw them on, snuggle in, and enjoy long hours reading and sipping tea. And one of my favorite memories as a kid was receiving brand-new PJs on Christmas Eve, ahead of opening any presents. It’s a tradition that I enthusiastically have carried into adulthood, and when I can find bookish themed PJs, well, that’s even better.
But honestly? You don’t even have to wait until a holiday for an excuse to grab some bookish PJ’s and up your cozy reading game. Consider it an act of self-care, because it’s worth it to invest into some great loungewear that makes you feel great while you work your way through a towering TBR stack, and it’s a relatively affordable luxury. We’ve rounded up some of the best bookish PJs for the upcoming holidays, or just the long winter days ahead, available for kids and adults! So get them on your holiday wishlists, or just go ahead and order them for yourself right now.
