A very bookish Christmas Wishlist - Part 3

As the holiday season rolls around, it’s time to start thinking about the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. For book lovers, there’s nothing better than settling in with a great story, a cozy blanket and, of course, the ultimate reading snacks. After all, the right snacks can make an evening with a novel even more magical.

Whether your bookish friend devours romance novels, fantasy epics, or literary classics, pairing their love of reading with tasty treats is a surefire way to win their heart.

Let's get snackin'!

Part 3: Snackies

A good snack or drink for a reader should be something easy to handle, not too messy, and perfectly indulgent. Think along the lines of bite-sized chocolates, candies and gummies, or gourmet popcorn paired with a steaming mug of tea or coffee. For those who love something extra cozy, hot chocolate with a dollop of whipped cream or a chai latte can set the perfect mood. Avoid snacks that require too much attention- like greasy chips or foods that need constant unwrapping - so they can stay immersed in their book without distractions. Unless you're planning on helping our by hand-feeding them, which could very well be part of the package.

We all know where to find snacks - duh - but I have included products from smaller independent sellers and bigger names, like Fortnum and Mason and Whittard.

• Etsy! I'll never get tired of saying it.

• Christmas markets

• Fortum and Mason, Harrods, Whittard... they know how to sell Christmas snacks
