Create a personalized bookmark, a dedication, and a note about why you chose the book.

Share what made you think of the recipient: a character, a mood, or a conversation you had. You can keep your name a secret.
Bookish Secret Santa: Bookmark and Note for a Gift Book
Add a personal message to a book gift. This tool creates a set with a personalized bookmark, dedication, and note about why you chose the book. A few words from the giver can make the gift feel more personal.
When to Use the Book Gift Set
Use it for a book club exchange or a gift for a book-loving coworker or friend. It’s a thoughtful way to share a favorite story and explain your choice without writing in the book itself.
How to Personalize a Book Gift
Add the recipient’s name and, if you like, the author and title. Choose a bookmark message or write your own, then edit the dedication and note. Review the set, print it on A4 paper, and cut out the pieces along the dotted lines.
What to Write in the Note
Mention the book’s mood, subject, or why it made you think of the recipient. Avoid spoilers. If you’re staying anonymous, don’t reveal your identity in the note. Save the set as a PDF from the print dialog and tuck it inside the book.
How to Plan a Book Exchange
Agree on a budget, whether books can be new or pre-loved, and which genres are welcome. Check what people have already read, draw names once, then prepare a bookmark and note for your chosen book. For example: “I picked this because you love stories about travel.”
