The holiday season is quickly approaching! Which means it is time to start thinking about what gifts to give to those you cherish dearly.
If you have an avid reader slash bookworm in your life, that can make gift giving a little tricky. Especially if they want bookish items. I mean a gift card is always nice, but there are other options!
Here are 10 bookish items that I think most readers would enjoy.
1) Kindle Paperwhite
I know, I know, this is a big ticket item! Trust me though, if your person is an avid reader they will cherish this gift!
My husband gifted me a Paperwhite about 2 years ago now, and rarely a day goes by that I don't use it.
2) Kindle Unlimited Subscription
As you may know, I am a major fan of the romance genre, and I've heard that KU is the subscription to have! I've yet to sign up, but if I were to receive it as a gift, I'd be thrilled! Plus they let you download 20 books at a time! That's just wild.
3) A Kindle Case/Protector
You've just spent all that money on the Kindle, now let's protect it with a cute case!
This is definitely on my list for Christmas this year. When you're looking at cases, make sure to check out what generation it fits! I have a 10th generation Kindle, but they just released the 11th generation!
4) Library Bag
Who doesn't love a good tote bag? It's perfect for picking up your latest book holds at the library, or for perusing around the local bookstore.
I have a library bag, and my kids recently received their own as well. It's definitely handy when we go to the library! I no longer have to hold all their books while they browse.
5) Book Sleeve
Maybe your person is more of a physical book reader than an ebook reader. If that's the situation, look into book sleeves! These are perfect to throw in your tote bag, back pack, or purse. It will help to protect your current read from getting all banged up.
6) Cozy Blanket
This blanket will be well used! Every time they curl up with a book (or their Kindle), they will have this to keep them warm and cozy. It's all about being comfy while reading a book, and a nice blanket is always nice to have close by.
7) Bookish Mugs
Perfect for coffee, tea, hot cocoa, hot apple cider, or any other beverage. I mean mugs are always nice to have! Mugs that speak to the bookish soul, even better!
I have this one from Awesome Librarians, and I ADORE IT!
8) Bookish Shirts
Hey, if people can wear support their favorite fandoms and/or teams by wearing their apparel, so can book lovers! Plus if you know one of their favorite authors, chances are they have a merch shop!
I've been eyeing up merch from Samantha Lovelock, Helena Hunting, and Xavier Neal. I do wish Samantha had a shirt that just said The Heirs. Maybe I'll suggest that to her.
9) Notebooks or Journals
Most bookworms are also big into notebooks, journals, and planners. A notebook gives them the option to write down their favorite quotes, create a reading journal, write down their to be read (TBR) list, upcoming releases from their favorite authors, and so on.
I've had my eye on that one above for a white now, but haven't pulled the trigger. Yet. There is also one at Target that caught my eye. My 9 year old daughter also noticed it, and said "I want that!". Great minds think a like. Now, that journal was almost $20, but it would be a great gift idea.
10) Air Pods
I know, another big ticket item! Hear me out though. There are many book lovers out there who prefer audio books over physical books or ebooks. So a pair of Air Pods would make it easier for them to listen to their books! They'll appreciate them when they are listening on Scribd, Audible, Libro.fm, Overdrive, or listening to their favorite podcasts!
So there you have it, my 10 (non-gift card) ideas that I think any book lover would enjoy.
What would you add to the list?
Happy shopping!
