Gifts for Book Lovers

Gifts for Book Lovers

I'll start this by saying...book lovers love books. Books make great gifts. Even a gift card to a bookstore makes a great gift.

But if you're looking for some other items to get a book lover, take a look at this list I've curated (and tried out myself). 

Things to Get Book Lovers

1. STICKERS

Need I say more. Stickers are fun. I get these and include them when I mail books for giveaways.

2. COFFEE MUG

Warm drinks and books are a pair. Get a book lover a mug all about books and their love of books. I have a bunch of writing and book lover mugs. You can search and find one for your favorite book lover.

3. SHIRTS

There are so many options for shirts for book lovers. I got this exact one for my daughter because she loves dragons and books. She wears it quite a bit.

4. CANDLES

Candles scented like bookstores, libraries, book boyfriends...just pick one. I have a bookstore scented candle with a scent similar to this one. I adore it.

5. PENS

You can never have too many pens to jot down notes, write in planners or journals, or annotate books. I bought these Amazon pens (I also love PaperMate felt tip ones) and they are great for the price! 

6. ANNOTATING SETS

I'm a beginner annotator, and I got this set to try. I don't like marking in my books, so I can write on the tabs and easily remove them if I want to. It is fun to mark up the book, but not mark up the book, if you know what I mean. I've been including annotating sets in my giveaways lately.

7. BOOKMARKS

You can never have enough bookmarks. And they never seem to be where you need them. I have lots of these cute magnetic bookmarks and tons of other ones, but somehow, I usually end up using a receipt or piece of tissue. I send out these magnetic bookmarks with books in giveaways. They're cute. You can find bookmarks with anything you want on them. Tailor the bookmarks to the booklover. And magnetic bookmarks are handy because you don't lose your page when you throw the book in frustration at a scene. (Kidding...kinda).

8. ROLLING CART

I had a friend get me one of these and I keep my writing supplies in it. I love it! Lots of people use them as their TBR carts. But you do have to know if the person wants this because it takes up more room than the other items I suggested. Mine is a turquoise one from IKEA, but this one is similar. You can find them lots of places, in different colors, different sizes, and different prices.
