Book Lovers Gift Guide

I've put together a collection of gifts to give to your fellow readers! I know that the typical move is to share your current favorite reads, but sometimes we have to switch it up and provide some things that care to the lifestyle we live!

Below, you'll find my top 12 picks! I own some of them, and the rest, I think, would be a great fit! They vary in price and offer a variety of options! Simply click the pictures for a link!!

1. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

Retail: $139.99

Amazon just dropped this new device into their kindle family! It is bound to make any reader happy! Taking their books on the go, the Kindle store and library is endless. Also, some aspects like Kindle Unlimited and Overdrive allow free books to be downloaded from both Amazon and your local library!

This new Paperwhite features a 6.8" display and thinner borders, adjustable warm light, up to 10 weeks of battery life, and 20% faster page turns.

2. Homesick Book Club Candle

Retail: $34

Who doesn't love a great candle? One of my favorite times to read is at bedtime with a candle lit on my nightstand. This candle features notes of warm nutmeg, amber, and sandalwood to fill the room as you turn each page.

3. "101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think"

Retail: $14.39

This is a perfect book to feature on your nightstand. Read a couple of essays when you have the time and work your way through the book. In her second compilation of published writing, Brianna Wiest explores pursuing purpose over passion, embracing negative thinking, seeing the wisdom in daily routine, and becoming aware of the cognitive biases that are creating the way you see your life.

4. Book of the Month Membership

Annual Membership: $179.99

6 Months: $99.99

3 Months: $49.99

I am a huge BOTM fan! I think that it is a great option for readers who like to mix it up with their books, as well as have access to debut novels and early releases. They offer benefits for members, such as BFF rewards once you reach your 12th box. If you ever feel like opting out, you can skip a box free of charge and have your book credit carry over to the next month!

5. Personalized Book Embosser

Retail: $38

These are great! I love supporting small businesses and there are a ton of these on Etsy! I have linked the one that I purchased and have been super happy with! To have one of these makes you feel like you own your own library! These are a perfect gift!

6. Spending Money

Retail: INFINITE

Theres no better way to a bookworm's heart than some simple cash to spend on some new books. This is a simple gift and can be used for pretty much anything that the reader would like! It's a win win!

7. Folio Canvas Book Tote

Retail: $24

I LOVE Folio! I found them on Instagram a few months ago and they are a great Indie start up based out of NYC that has custom quizzes to match you to your next reads. They also have some great merch for the modern readers. Support this great startup!

8. Book Line Drawing

Retail: $5.50

Another great Etsy find! This is a digital download, so basically you purchase it and then you can print it on your own or have it done professionally. You can then put it in a beautiful frame! A great simple and cost-efficient option!

9. 100 Books Scratch Off Poster

Retail: $15

My Mom has one of these for classic movies, and I have always thought that it is such a fun idea! When I saw one for books, I thought that it would make a great gift. It also is a good, budget-friendly option. As you read, use a coin to scratch off each title and reveal the literary artwork underneath. The collections cover classics like James and the Giant Peach and Wuthering Heights, as well as works in the contemporary canon like The Hunger Games and American Psycho.

10. Barnes & Noble and Amazon Gift Cards

Retail: Whatever you want!

These are a great go to! Whether you're giving to a kindle reader or a hardcover lover, these two gift cards are bound to make your reader happy. Both B&N and Amazon have endless options of books and also offer other reader targeted accessories!

11. The Original Oodie

Retail: $84 (on sale, OG $109)

How cozy! How can you possibly go wrong with this? This is definitely a bigger gift, but one that'll definitely make a lasting impression. Imagine snuggling up with this and a good book? The Oodie is a super soft ONE SIZE FITS MOST hooded blanket. It is based on a 6XL hoodie. With soft flannel fleece on the outside and warm sherpa fleece on the inside, you're going to feel like you're hugging a sheep. Plus, it's also 100% cruelty-free.

12. Grace by Shan Book Sleeves

Retail: around $20

These are great! Also a small business to support. These are a great option for readers on the go! Keep your books safe while they're rumbling around in your bag. This site offers a variety of patterns and prints. They regularly release new prints, and it is a great community to join and be a part of!
