Gift Ideas for Book Lovers

 

While there is probably nothing a book-lover would rather receive that a cherished new book, buying books for serious book lovers can sometimes be a tad troublesome. How do you know what they have already read? What is already in their collection? I mean, unless they have an Amazon Wishlist all made up for you — then, by all means, go for that!

If your bookish friend hasn’t provided you with a wish list — have no fear! Today I’m going to give you a list of gifts that any book-lover would be sure to appreciate!

Great Gifts for the Bibliophile on Your List! Check out these non-book gifts for the book lover on your list. #christmasgifts #giftideas #bookworm #booklover

Book Darts have been on my own personal wish list for months now! Perfect for serious readers who want to mark a particular passage to come back to, and for when reading library books or others that you don’t want to mark up.

4. Reading Journal/Commonplace Book & Quality Pens

If your book lover keeps a commonplace or reading journal, then a beautiful notebook would make a wonderful gift! There are so many types available! This would also be a wonderful gift for the young readers on your list — you could help get them started on this wonderful practice! 

 

5. Audible Membership

Buy your book lover a year membership to Audible, and they will get an audiobook of their choice each month! Then you don’t have to worry about their tastes and preferences — they can choose their own titles.

6. T-Shirts

Literary quotes and reading themed t-shirts are a great way for avid readers to express their love for literature.

8. Reading Lamp

A lack of adequate light for reading has been a difficulty for me personally in the last few years. Buy your book lover a floor, desk, or a wearable lamp to help them read during the dark winter evenings.

9. E-Reader Cover

If your book lover uses a Kindle or other e-reader, a stylish case or cover would make a great gift. If you have any sewing, knitting or crochet skills, this might also be a great opportunity for giving a handmade gift!

Serious library patrons and book lovers NEED a durable tote to carry their books — there are a lot of stylish and sturdy options available! Look for strong, canvas straps and reinforced seams to make sure your gift can handle your book worm’s load.
