If you are in need of a gift or two for your book loving friend, you’ve come to the right place.
Getting someone a gift that speaks to their soul is one of the most loving things we can do.
And for book lovers, their souls can often be found wrapped up in a cozy book, their minds off in some faraway land or deep in the details of a story.
If you want to get a proper gift for the bookworm in your life, or if you yourself are a bookworm trying to figure out what gifts to ask for, keep reading.
Here is the ultimate gift guide for book lovers.
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products that I personally would use or do currently use. Please read full disclosure for more information.
About my gift guides: You will find no shortage of gift guides online, and after a while, they all start to look the same. I aim to make my gift guides different and better.
First of all, I put a TON of research into each guide, only listing items that I would personally buy for myself or a loved one.
Second, as much as I possibly can, I try to list products from small shops and unqiue sellers. While you will occasionally see products from bigger well-known shops, I try to keep that to a minimum and only use big stores for these lists when I feel it’s the best option out there for the money.
I hope you enjoy!
Gifts for book lovers under $25
A gift guide for book lovers is not complete without some budget-friendly gifts with big impact.
Here are a few great options if your budget is small but you still want to get them a gift they’ll cherish.
A booklight that outperforms other booklights
I got this booklight last year as a Christmas present and I LOVE it. Compared to other book lights I’ve had, this one outranks them all.
It has 3 different light settings, all a shade of amber that is easier on the eyes, and it’s rechargeable, which is super nice. Although, another perk, I have had it a year now and still haven’t had to recharge it!
You can grab this amber booklight for only $12 here: Amber Rechargeable Booklight
Book-themed stickers
Stickers are a classic gift that most everyone loves, especially when they speak to the passions and hobbies we have.
There are so many options for stickers out there, but here are few cute ones that your bookworm friend might love. (you can click on each photo for the link)
An adorable bookmark
Having a cute bookmark is one of the simple joys of being a bookworm. Here are a few of the most unique options I’ve found for extra cozy reading.
P.S. I had a really hard time picking a bookmark from Humdrum Paper, because they seriously have so many cool options. You can check them all out here.
A book-themed coloring book
Coloring is gaining popularity for adults- and for good reason.
Having a screen-free hobby that is relaxing and creative is one of the best things in life and has so many advantages.
This book-themed coloring book is absolutely adorable and perfect for the bookworm in your life.
It even has activities in it like coloring your own bookmark!
You can grab the coloring book here → All Booked Up Coloring Book
Pssst. If you want some markers perfect for coloring, you can get an entire 80-marker set here.
Gifts for book lovers $25-$100
I feel like this price range really is the sweet spot for finding quality gifts that don’t break the bank.
A book lover tote bag
Having a tote to carry around your books or just to use as an everyday bag is so nice, and if it’s book themed? Even better!
Here are a few super cute options, one of which I’m even adding to my own Christmas wishlist!
Book themed apparel
Most bookworms prefer the cozy life, and one of the coziest things you can have is comfy clothing.
These book themed options are perfect for throwing on with sweats and curling up with a good book.
Kindle Case
If your reader friend has a Kindle, then getting them a cute Kindle case can be the perfect gift idea.
Here are a few of the cutest Kindle cases I’ve found online from small shops.
Gifts for book lovers $100+
Items in this category come with a slightly higher price tag, but provide so much value that they’re well worth the price.
A Kindle Paperwhite
A Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best gifts for book lovers, with no shortage of advantages.
A few of the best things about it? A single charge is supposed to last up to 12 weeks (which is way better than the old Kindles that basically need charged after a few hours of use), the paperwhite pages are super easy on the eyes, and because of how compact it is (and how many books it holds), it’s perfect for reading on the go.
Having to pick which book you’re going to take with you on a trip is one of the hardest decisions- this solves that problem.
You can grab the Kindle Paperwhite here: Kindle Paperwhite
Gifts that keep on giving
The gifts in this category can vary in price, but can keep providing value long-term for your book loving recipient. So I gave them their own category!
A Book of the Month subscription
Book of the Month is an amazing gift for any book lover. Here’s how it works:
You buy them a set number of months of the membership (3 months, 6 months, or 12 months) and for each month, they get to pick a book to have sent directly to them!
The books they get to pick from are a mix of the most popular books out at the time, and also NEW books that they will get to read first.
Book of the Month currently (at the time of writing this) has a promo where when you gift a subscription, the recipient gets a free hat too! And their hats are super cute!
I have been a Book of the Month member, and it’s so nice!
You can gift them a subscription here: Book of the Month Gifting
P.S. If your giftee already has a membership, they can still get gifted free months! (you can find info on this in the FAQ section of the link above!
A Kindle Unlimited Membership
If the book lover in your life has a Kindle (or you’re gifting them a Kindle from above), then a Kindle Unlimited Membership is an amazing gift.
With this membership, they’ll get access to unlimited reading on a TON of books, including audiobooks!
This even works if they have the Kindle app on their phone, so even if they don’t have a Kindle e-reader, this gift can be super beneficial!
You can choose the duration of your membership gift- 6, 12, or 24 months. You can grab check it out here: Kindle Unlimited Membership Gift
