5 GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS THAT AREN’T BOOKS

Posted on November 13 2023

Who doesn’t love a book as a gift? It’s often super personal, thought out and is something special to keep. But what about other literary gifts for your bibliophile loved ones? Here are five gift ideas that aren’t books. 

A BOOK SLEEVE

We couldn’t not start with a book sleeve now could we… our sleeves make the perfect, personal gift for the book lover in your life. Each month we release new designs to suit different personalities and sizes of books. They’re a cushioned, cute and caring gift idea to keep your loved ones books (or laptop/tablet/switch, we do sleeves for those too!) protected. 

BOOKISH JEWELRY 

When you love a book it pretty much becomes your whole personality, so why not dress for the novel too? Readers Society sells beautiful bespoke jewelry inspired by popular books from ACOTAR to Circe. Being able to show off your passion for reading with your outfits and accessories is the perfect way for any bookworm to dress and these pieces will make a great gift!

A TOTE BAG

Have you ever heard the expression ‘you can never have too many tote bags’? Well, we just made it up and it’s true. Tote bags are eternally useful for a day-to-day bag, lunch bag for office days, plastic carrier bag substitute, or an overnight stay. We love being able to show our personalities through which tote we pick and Penguin has us in a chokehold with their classic book-inspired tote bags, the reader friends in your life need this gift!

A PAGE ANCHOR

You might be wondering what a Page Anchor is, and let us tell you! It’s a really cute, anchor-shaped device that holds your book open for you. It’s perfect for bigger books you want to reference like cookbooks or art books, but also for when you want to go hands-free with your book in the bath or under a cosy blanket.

BOOKISH ART

A moment for BedlamBooks, a stunning art shop on Etsy that sell prints of book spines. From Greek Mythology to your favourite classics, these prints are beautiful and give your home a personal touch. These kinds of gifts are something the recipient will keep for a lifetime, they’re so special and gorgeous. 

Hopefully, this list has helped you come up with some gift ideas for the bibliophiles in your life.
