Do you know someone who loves to read? If so, then you know how difficult it can be to find the perfect gift for them. Books are always a safe bet, but sometimes you want to give them something a little different. Luckily, there are plenty of great gifts for book lovers that aren’t books! Here are five of our favorites:
A bookmark is a small, often decorative piece of paper, metal, or cloth that is used to mark one’s place in a book. Custom bookmarks can be purchased from many online stores and are available in a variety of designs, colors, and materials. They also make great gifts for friends and family who are avid readers. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even make your own bookmark using materials you have around the house. Just choose a design that you think they’ll like and add a personal message. Whether you purchase or DIY, a personalized bookmark is sure to be appreciated by any book lover. One of our favorite places to look for bookmarks is Etsy. Many of the sellers here are people just like you and me, and supporting a small/local business is always an amazing thing to do. CooperstownCreations is one of my personal favorites.
If your loved one is constantly carrying around a book (or two, or three), why not get them a stylish hoodie that shows their love of literature? There are tons of different designs to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for them. Or, if they’re particularly attached to a particular book or character, you could get them a hoodie featuring their favorite literary figure. Either way, they’ll be sure to appreciate your thoughtful gift. And who knows? Maybe they’ll even start a new trend among their fellow bookworms. Another one of our favorite small businesses that makes some of the funniest and most relatable hoodies for us book lovers is Moody Two Shoes. Their My Weekend Is All Booked hoodie is one of my favorites! Check out what else they might have at www.moodytwoshoes.com.
If you have a book lover in your life, bookends make a great gift. Not only do they help keep bookshelves looking neat and tidy, but they can also be used to prop up other things like picture frames or trinkets. Bookends come in all sorts of different materials, so you’re sure to find a pair that the recipient will love. Plus, they’re relatively inexpensive, so you don’t have to break the bank to show your thoughtfulness. So next time you need a gift for a bookworm, don’t forget the bookends!
A personalized bookplate is a great gift for the book lover in your life. What could be more thoughtful than a bookplate that is customized with the recipient’s name and favorite quote? Bookplates are also a practical gift, as they help to identify a book as belonging to a particular person. This can be helpful in libraries or shared spaces, where books often get mixed up. Bookplates are usually Peel-and-stick so they are easy to apply, and they come in a variety of designs to suit any taste. Whether you are looking for a classic or modern look, you can find a bookplate that is perfect for the book lover in your life. For these, there’s no going wrong with Etsy again!
If you have a reader in your life, then you know that they can never have too many books. But what do you get the reader who has everything? A book light! This simple yet ingenious device attaches to the binding of any book, providing a gentle and adjustable light that is perfect for reading in bed. No more disturbing your partner with a bright bedside lamp, or straining your eyes in the darkness. A book light is a perfect gift for any reader, and it’s sure to bring them hours of enjoyment. I personally like the ones that clip onto the book itself so that I can focus completely on the story!
