items Finding gifts for people is hard enough, but for a book lover? All we ever say we want is books (and believe me, it’s true!) but if they don’t have a list, or if you can’t get the list, how do you buy them a book they want or don’t have?

Annotation Supplies
Highlighter tape is a MUST for perfectionist-annotators. Using a regular highlighter has a time and a place, but being able to remove and re-place these and having a straight line every time is the absolute best.
Highlighter Tape
A fine-line pen is so important for annotators! I’ve found Micron bleeds surprisingly little on most paper and this variety pack gives the option of tip size (which I love). The feel of these pens on paper is *chef’s kiss*
Fine-Line Pen
I’m absolutely in LOVE with these annotation tabs. If you’re not following Deshea on Instagram, do yourself a favor and go do that. Her content is wonderful and the fact that she sells these amazing annotating kits makes it all the better. Go show he...
Book Tabs
Cutesy erasable highlighters are perfect for the bookish person in your life that doesn’t like highlighter tape. I usually prefer the tape, but sometimes an actual highlighter is just the vibe. I’m a perfectionist though, so erasable is non-negotiabl...
Highlighters
Kindle/E-Reader
Clear kindle cases (for the kindle girlies) is the way to go! I’m usually a black-everything kind of girl, but when I eventually get a real kindle (instead of just using the app on my phone) I’m getting myself a clear case. I have commitment issues w...
CLEAR Kindle Case
Whether you’re reading on a Kindle, Kobo, Nook, or Libby on your phone, a little bookish Popsocket is a must. I mean look at how cute they are! And all of these are from an independent business! Support @Ivyresinshop and get yourself/your bookish fri...
Kindle/Phone Pop Socket
Even if you aren’t decorating your Kindle, stickers are still a must-have! I don’t typically use traditional bookmarks, so I put my stickers to good use by letting them save the pages for me. The linked listing is from a shop that has a lot of great ...
Stickers
Linked is one option for this, but there are so many different kinds of kindle mounts/stands. These are great for reading in bed or if you don’t want to crane your neck down while you read. Bonus if you get one with a Bluetooth page-turner!
Kindle Stand
Accessories
As an avid romance/dark romance/romantacy reader, I know that sometimes holding a book open with both hands is downright inconvenient. This little thumb-holder is the solution to that (if you’re insistent on reading physical books like I am(.
Book Holder
I know socks are a controversial gift option, but as a funky sock-enthusiast, these are amazing.
There’s (almost) nothing worse than being in the middle of a book and having someone come up to you and start asking you if the dishes in the dishwashe...
Bookish Socks
Mugs are good, travel mugs are better. We need coffee/tea but we also need water - these metal tumblers can do both. Bookish people need to be caffeinated AND hydrated!
Travel Tumbler
I’m not a traditional bookmark-user, but I do love reviewing books. A bulk pack of these to use as a bookmark that I can leave in the book with my review and thoughts at the end is exactly what I’d need.
Review Bookmark
Supporting an indie business AND getting cute bookish merch? Sign me up. These keychains are the perfect mix of smutty bookish content and niche iykyk content.
Keychain
As a paperback-enthusiast, there’s no feeling quite like pulling a book out of our bag to find it… mangled. A book sleeve is the perfect protector for your next read! The sleeve linked can fit a standard hardcover and even still have room in the side...
Book Sleeve
We’ve established I love a paperback - I’ve had my eye on these for a WHILE to decorate (and protect) my favorites. I’d SWOON if someone gifted me these.
Book Corner Protectors
This can be a controversial item, but if your gift-ee doesn’t like directly marking up their books, I’d recommend some sticky notes to include with this so they can emboss that, then stick it in their books!
