book lover gifts

Do you ever sit there wondering what in the world to get certain people in your life? They seem to have everything or they are the type of person to pick up whatever they want, whenever they want. It’s beyond frustrating. Until you sit down and really think about the person and their interests. For instance…they like to read. Sure you could get them a gift card to their favorite book store, but think outside the box a bit. That’s what makes this list of book lover gifts so perfect!

Book Lover Gifts

One of the best gifts, something I use EVERY SINGLE DAY (not even joking) that I ever got was my Kindle Paperwhite. Since I spend a lot of time in my car, waiting on my kids while they are at their sports practices, I make sure I always have my Kindle Paperwhite with me and loaded with books. Since it holds over a thousand books at once, I am never left without something to read (especially the newest Alex Cross book).

If you are going with a Kindle or they already have a Kindle, then the next idea on the quest for book lover gifts is Kindle Unlimited. If you aren’t familiar with it, Kindle Unlimited allows you to borrow books from Amazon for a small monthly fee. Want to check it out first? Sign up for the FREE 30 day trial!

Do they prefer to hold actual books? I know many people think I’m crazy for not wanting to actually hold a book in my hands. Or smell that book smell. You know what smell I’m talking about. When I was a kid, I used to love going to the library to smell the books. If that’s the case, then these book smell candles are perfect for them!

Book Lover Gifts for Aspiring Authors

This last set of gift ideas are my personal favorite. They are perfect for that aspiring author or book lover that loves to keep a journal. These unique journals have an entire book written within the journal…as the lines you write on! I have been eyeing one of these journals for a couple years!

A Novel Journal: The Adventures of Sherlock HolmesA Novel Journal: Little WomenA Novel Journal: Pride and PrejudiceA Novel Journal: Anne of Green GablesA Novel Journal: The Brothers GrimmA Novel Journal: DraculaA Novel Journal: The Wizard of OzA Novel Journal: Emma

Pick up one of these journals, a cute bag from above, a fancy pen or those Paper Mate Inkjoy Gel Pens that don’t smear and are so nice to write with (and this is an amazing price for them), add a couple snacks and you have a truly unique book lover gift to give a friend of family member!
