Hygge Home Goods for Bibliophiles

It’s wintertime, and there’s nothing better to do during this season than hunker down and enjoy some hygge. What exactly is hygge? In its most basic form, hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word that describes that wonderful coziness that’s so yummy during the long, dark times of the year.

According to Visit Denmark, “hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people.” What better way to achieve this than with a good book?

Of course, if you’re going to read, you may need some snuggle assistance or cozy facilitation. In other words, some stuff to help you get your hygge on.

Hygge gear for bibliophiles, that is.

Whether you’re looking for blankets and pillows, tea and chocolates, or candles and mood lighting, this list has it all. I’ve scoured the interwebs for some bookish home goods to help you hunker down with your latest read and while away those long, dark nights. Or the coming summer nights — who says hygge can only be found during the wintertime?

And remember, a big part of hygge is the company of others. You can certainly enjoy the items on this list by yourself, but why not share that chocolate with a bibliophile friend or light that candle for your book club?
