Funny Christmas sweatshirt for readers who would rather Santa checked their wish list than their shelves. “Dear Santa please don’t look at my bookshelf.” You have been good. Your fictional favorites might suggest otherwise.

Wear it with jeans for a festive bookstore trip, take it to your December book club meeting or curl up beside the tree with the book you would definitely hide from Santa. This bookish sweatshirt gets the joke without making you explain your entire reading history. A little festive mischief for your next Instagram photo, with your current read conveniently facing away from the camera.

Choose your garment color and embroidery thread color from the available options. Red on black, blue on navy or brown on cream: make your holiday sweatshirt match your wardrobe, your favorite book cover or simply the shade you love most. Each message is embroidered, adding texture to your festive outfit.

The Dear Santa Please Don't Look at My Bookshelf shirt is available as a T-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie. Pick the T-shirt for lighter outfits or a bookish embroidered hoodie for cozy reading evenings. A Christmas hoodie, hot chocolate and one more chapter make a very good plan for staying in.

Looking for a Christmas gift for a book lover? This is the book lover gift for the person whose recommendations always come with a warning. It also makes a playful choice for book club gifts: everyone can choose their own colors and bring a different reason to keep Santa away from the shelves. Each garment is sold separately.

If your search for Christmas gifts keeps turning into bookish gifts for yourself, we understand. These gifts for readers work for partners, siblings and friends who take their fictional crushes seriously. Add a little festive bookish merch to their reading routine, or keep one for your own next chapter.
