Fall Bookish Basket Exchange

Crisp air, cozy reads, and a basket filled with bookish surprises—fall is officially in session! 🍂📚

Join us for the Fall Bookish Basket Exchange, a cozy evening of books, community, and white elephant-style fun.

Each guest will create and bring a fall-themed bookish basket valued at approximately $50. Fill yours with things another reader would love, such as a book, blanket, mug, candle, seasonal treats, reading accessories, or any other autumnal surprises you can dream up.

During the event, we’ll exchange baskets white elephant-style. Choose a new basket to unwrap or steal one that has already caught your attention—but don’t get too attached, because someone may steal it from you next! Everyone who participates will leave with a basket of their own.

Come dressed for cozy season, bring a thoughtfully curated basket, and get ready for an evening filled with books, laughter, surprises, and a little friendly competition.
