Build a Cosy Night-In Kit

Build a Cosy Night-In Kit (for Readers, Dreamers, and Little Bookworms)

When the weather turns snug, the best evenings are the simple ones: a warm drink, a soft blanket, and a good story. At The Happy Moose Trading Co., we’ve gathered everything you need to build a cosy night-in kit—and we’ve paired it with book recommendations from our sister site, Marshlight Books
.

Step 1: Set the Mood

Light a gentle candle, pop a few drops of aromatherapy oil in the diffuser, and settle into your favourite corner.
Pair it with: an atmospheric pick from Marshlight’s Library
—folklore, mystery, contemporary, and more.

Step 2: Add Comfort Layers

Throws, cushions, and snug socks transform any chair into a reading throne.
Pair it with: a one-sitting chapbook or short story list from Marshlight’s Blog
 (perfect for finishing tonight).

Step 3: Choose Your Brew & Mug

Herbal tea or hot chocolate tastes better in a favourite mug (we don’t make the rules).
Pair it with: a slow-glow novel from Marshlight Books
—ideal for sipping and turning pages.

Step 4: For Little Readers

Create a calm bedtime routine with a cuddly soft toy and a night-light.
Pair it with: a gentle picture-book from Marshlight Kids’ Corner
—soothing stories that wind the day down.

Step 5: Make It Giftable

Bundle your favourites into a basket: candle + throw + mug + a “book token” (link to a title on Marshlight).
Inspo: Browse Marshlight’s Library
 for a story to match the mood—cosy, uncanny, adventurous, you choose.

We’re a family-run shop that believes creativity should live everywhere—on your shelves, in your home, and in the gifts you give. Happy Moose brings the cosy; Marshlight Books
