Finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list can be nearly impossible. You don’t want to get them something they already have or won’t like and don’t even get me started on shopping for teenagers! Obviously, the goal is to find something fun and useful that won’t end up in the return pile.
We all know that gifting clothing can end in disaster and a gift card can feel lazy or impersonal, but what about buying an avid reader a book? If you’ve got a bookworm on your hands, they would probably rather pick out book for themselves. They know their way around the library and bookstore, and it is hard to know what books they have already read or what books they would be interested in reading next. Don’t play the guessing game, instead go for a gift geared toward book lovers that isn’t actually a book.
We’ve come up with 31 gift ideas for book lovers to help nudge you in the right direction. This list includes everything from book lights to tote bags to candles to coasters to cozy crewnecks. With price points ranging from $5 to $140, there is something for everyone. Your favorite reader will be ecstatic to try out all of these fun gifts (that is, if you can ever get them to put down their current read!).
