gifts i’d actually give a book lover (uncommon)
16 items

these are the little bookish things i’d actually be excited to give someone who always has a book nearby.
i love this for someone who treats their bookshelf like a tiny personal library.
personalized book embosser
this is for the person who underlines half the book because apparently everything is important. 😂
book darts / line markers
i’d get this for anyone who takes their books everywhere because backpacks are apparently enemies of nice books.
book sleeve
a cute bookmark is one of those gifts i know i’d actually use instead of throwing into a drawer.
cute bookmarks
i like this for someone who loves remembering what they read instead of just moving on to the next book.
reading journal (leather)
because apparently coffee tastes better when there’s a book involved.
bookish mug
probably one of the least exciting-looking gifts until you realize how useful it actually is.
reading lamp
this is one of those things i didn't think i needed until i realized holding a book open for an hour gets surprisingly tiring.
boom stand/rest
not necessary at all but i feel like a book lover would actually appreciate the silliness.
book-themed socks (personalized)
i’d pick something subtle enough that they can actually wear it outside the house.
bookish sweatshirt
i'll always love physical books but having an entire library in one tiny thing is hard to argue with.
kindle (a must)
this feels way more thoughtful when you know their favorite book or a line they absolutely love.
personalized bookish jewelry
i'd give this to the crafty reader who wants to do more than just collect books.
bookbinding kit
this is for the person whose bookshelf has slowly turned into its own little world.
book nook kit
this feels unnecessary in the best possible way and i'd absolutely light it during a late-night reading session.
library-inspired candle
i’d give this to someone who says they’re going to read for twenty minutes and disappears for three hours.
cozy reading blanket
