Homebody MN

Well, we were all set to ask for your help getting to 5k followers before our birthday... but you already did it! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who followed, shared, and tagged a friend. We’re so grateful you’re here. Our 6th Birthday Sale kicks off Oct. 10-15th, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you. Here’s to the next chapter, and to many more Homebody MN moments together. 🕯️

Say hello to our most popular subscription: the Combo Box 🕯️📚

Every quarter, we hand-pack a little bundle of comfort and send it straight to your door. Here’s what’s inside →

📖 1 New Book — handpicked to your taste, because your TBR pile deserves stories that highlight diverse authors and characters, not just bestseller lists

📚 1 Used Book — gently loved by someone before you, because rereading and rehoming books is a little kinder to the planet (and comes with its own kind of charm)

🕯️ 1 Glass Candle — 100% soy wax, handpicked for the season, made to burn longer and cleaner, so it’s still going strong for your next chapter

It’s everything you need for a proper homebody day. Curl up, light the wick, and get lost in your new (and new to you) reads. Ready to subscribe? Link in bio 🍂

🕯️ GIVEAWAY TIME! 🕯️ Kiss My Ash is here — Santa Daddy just got a glow-up, same cozy fireplace scent, brand new name. 🔥🧡
No ash-holes allowed, just cozy vibes. Perfect for people who love a good flannel moment (and supporting a small trans-owned MN business while they’re at it).

Kinda chic to support a small trans-owned business with purchases you were already going to make 👀
Kinda chic to set Homebody MN as your personal bookstore on Libro.fm (audiobooks) and Bookshop.org (books) — same price, same purchase, just now it supports us instead of a mega-corp.
Kinda chic to do it before our birthday sale drops, too 🎂..Did we do this trend right?

Last few days to apply, friends! 📚🏡 Our Retreat Fund applications close soon, and we’ve got two spots left to fill with a 25% subsidy from our incredible community.

This fund exists because rest shouldn’t be a luxury. Because everyone deserves a cozy room, good food, and time to just be — surrounded by fellow bookish humans who get it.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Don’t let the deadline sneak up on you.

⏰ Applications close Tuesday, Sept. 1st at 11:59pm
