  • Details
    This custom "year of books" ornament is the perfect way to commemorate all the reading you or a loved one has accomplished this year, or just to display your favorite books or book series! I'm also happy to offer movies, albums, video games, and photos--any miniature media can be placed into the ornament, including magazines, images, newspapers, etc. -- so long as an image of it is available online or provided by you as an attachment or image URL.

    Customize this item further by choosing between a silver, gold, crimson, or green hanging string, and a red, yellow, gold, champagne, forest, moss, grey, or white ribbon. There is also an optional tag included with the purchase of the ornament. Custom designed tags available for purchase separately.

    For EVEN MORE customizations, view the "CUSTOM MiniBook Ornament" section from this shop's homepage.

    The ornament is made from plastic baubles and foam media, so it is incredibly break-resistant -- perfect for shaking and admiring! Comes in XS (50mm or 60mm plastic ornament) for less than 5 books, Small (70mm plastic ornament) for 5-20 books, Medium (80mm plastic ornament) for 21-36 books, Large (100mm plastic ornament) for 37-52 books, X-Large (110mm ornament bauble) for 53-76 books), and XXL (120mm plastic ornament) for 77-140 books. I am happy to make ornaments with more than 140 books - please see "Request Custom Order" on my shop's home page.

    HOW TO ORDER: Please send book lists in paragraph format, with each book title/author separated by a comma. View the "How to Order" photo for examples of the preferred format for submitting book/media lists or links. This format allows me to obtain cover images of your media very quickly, and is especially helpful during the busy holiday season - September through January (thank you!) If more space is needed, custom information can be sent to MegsManyComfortCreations [!at] gmail.com. Links to Goodreads lists are very helpful in saving you the time it'd take to type out your books, and are recommended for those who plan to order an ornament every year (please ensure the profile is set to "Public") PLEASE NO SCREENSHOTS of written or Goodreads lists -- LINKS or TYPED LISTS only, preferably in the format described above). By default, I choose the cover art based on popularity and readability in its miniature form -- if this is fine with you, no specification is needed. If you have a preference on the cover art, please include ISBNs with the applicable book titles.

    FOR GIFT ORDERS: Please select "This is a Gift" at checkout if the ornament is either (1) being shipped directly to the recipient or (2) will be gifted within the original packaging/will not be opened prior to gifting. I like to include a personalized note (and sometimes free gifts) to the buyer if "This is a Gift" is not checked (: Similarly, any Gift Note with the order will be included as a typed note within the package. For a gift message on the ornament tag, please view the custom ornament tag listing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How should I care for my handmade creations?

    There are a few ways to ensure your little literary creations last to be enjoyed and admired for many years to come.

    Miniatures:
    - To best preserve book cover images, keep them in a closed container when you're not admiring them to prevent damage or fading from light, humidity, temperature, or oxidization
    - Books come pre-pressed, but in the event the cover pages begin to curl, lay them all on a flat surface and press with a heavy item for 12-24 hours

    Ornaments:
    - Store in a cool, dry place. Warm or humid rooms, such as attics, may result in the cover pages curling
    - If this occurs, You may be able to remove the books by gently pressing on either side of the ornament, where the ribbon covers the seam. Press with a heavy item for 24 hours.

    When can I expect to receive my order after purchase?

    Expected arrival dates can be viewed under "Shipping and Policies" on the listing page of the item before purchase.

    Happy repeat customer! Ornament is beautiful with many personalization choices to make it even more special.


    This is such a cool ornament! The covers of the mini books are high quality with vivid colors. The only thing that bothers me is that a few of the books got caught between the covers of other books and there wasn't a way for me to fix it. It may well have happened in shipping and I'm not going to make a fuss, it just tweaks my OCD lol. But even so, I highly recommend this product!


    Such a clever idea for a Christmas ornament! The mini books look exactly like the original jacket designs of the books that I chose. Can't wait to gift this to the avid reader in my family!


    The ornament was a perfect retirement gift for a long time librarian. She loved the gift! We all contributed our favorite titles to the ornament as well the the recipients favorites to use with students. The ornament was packaged beautifully. All the guests of the party wanted an ornament of their own!


    Absolutely beautiful. So unique. Quality work. Great packaging. Thank you!
