Shopping for the bookworm in your life may seem as simple as picking out the first paperback you see when you walk into Barnes and Noble. But instead, surprise your favorite bibliophile with one (or two) of these gifts we’ve gathered that are 100% reader-approved.
Hammered Metal Serpent Bookmark ($19.24, shop here)
Nothing shows your love for a reader quite like a bookmark that can last novel after novel. This metal bookmark isn’t only aesthetically gorgeous, but it can sit on top of a page or on the side to mark the exact area of the story where they left off. Plus, the magical, mystical look of the serpent slipping through the pages of a fantasy novel? Chef’s kiss.
Ballard Designs Acrylic Book Easel ($39, shop here)
For the bookworm in your life that values aesthetics, this book display will be the object of their affection. It’s the perfect way for them to show off their favorite pages or act as a fancy way to mark their place. Plus, the acrylic finish ensures that it fits any color scheme or room.
Papier Fun Desk Days Gift Set ($40, shop here)
Some people like to keep their books in pristine condition, but for every person who’s meticulous about their novels, there’s another fan of writing in pages and tabbing each sentence that makes their heart flutter. As a gift for the latter, an annotation set with everything they need to personalize their books would be an absolute godsend.
Knock Knock’s Personal Library Kit ($25.24, shop here)
For the book lover who always loans their collection to friends, give them the gift of peace of mind this season. This personal library kit allows them to keep track of their books just as a librarian would: with a date stamp, checkout cards, and more!
Cutebee DIY Bookshelf Insert ($49.99, shop here)
Nothing will dress up a bookshelf more than a peek into a magical world – be it a forest, a shop alley, or a dollhouse. These inserts aren’t just visually striking; they’re DIY projects that any book lover can busy themselves with when they’re not engrossed in a novel.
Homesick Book Club Candle ($38, shop here)
Anyone who has cracked open an old novel can attest: The smell of books is among the most comforting scents. Unfortunately, reading with your nose in the middle of your book isn’t possible – and that’s why this candle was created. Now, your loved ones can be surrounded by the aroma of a vintage library during their next book binge!
