Gift Ideas for the Bookworm in Your Life
Introduction
If you’re looking for a perfect gift for the bookworm in your life, look no further. There are tons of ways to express your love of books—and incorporate them into the holidays! Here’s some inspiration on how you can give the gift of reading (or make it easy for them to do so):
A book-themed mug
If you know someone who loves books, and you want to get them something that will make them smile (and also be useful), then consider purchasing a mug. Mugs are great gifts because they can be used every day, and they’re also pretty much guaranteed to make your recipient happy.
To find the perfect book-themed mug for your loved one, look no further than our list of bestsellers: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald; and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald!
A cozy blanket
A cozy blanket is the perfect gift for a bookworm. It’s warm, it’s comfortable, and it can be used in so many different settings. Blankets are great for snuggling up with on the couch or reading in bed at night. They’re also useful when you’re traveling by plane or train–or even just sitting outside on a cool day!
A good quality blanket will last for years of use (and countless readings). You should look for one that has soft fabric made from materials like cotton or flannel–these fabrics are breathable enough to keep your body temperature regulated while still providing protection against drafts when needed. If possible, try out some different types before purchasing one so you know exactly what feels best next time you’re shopping in person rather than online (where reviews aren’t always reliable).
A gift card to their favorite bookstore or library
Giving a gift card to your favorite bookstore or library is an easy way to give them something they’ll love. They can use it to buy books, magazines, and even e-books!
You can purchase gift cards online or in person at any bookstore or library. Gift cards are perfect for any occasion–birthdays, graduations, holidays…you name it! You don’t even have to worry about picking out the right book because there are so many options available on Amazon these days that even if you get something wrong (and trust me: I’ve made this mistake before), there’s always another chance for redemption later down the road when another bookworm comes along looking for recommendations from someone who knows their stuff!
Plus: if you forget about giving one of these babies out at Christmas time then just wait until next year? No problemo!
Books about books, such as The Bookseller and the Bibliophile or Reading Like a Writer
If you’re looking for a gift for someone who loves books, consider giving them a book about books. There are many options available that can be enjoyed by both readers and writers alike.
One such title is The Bookseller and the Bibliophile: A Novel by Wendy Buoncristiano. This novel takes place in the world of rare bookselling, where two main characters–a man and woman–meet at an auction house that sells antiquarian books and manuscripts. The story follows their friendship as it progresses over time through various upsets and triumphs within their respective careers as well as personal relationships outside of work (including marriage).
The author has worked at several high-end auction houses during her career, so she knows firsthand what goes into selling valuable items like antique maps or signed first editions by famous authors such as William Faulkner or Ernest Hemingway. Her expertise shines through on every page; if you have any interest whatsoever in learning more about this field then I highly recommend picking up this title!
Personalized book recommendations
If you’re looking for a gift that will make your bookworm feel special, consider getting them their very own personalized book recommendation. There are many ways to do this:
- Give them a book that is similar to their favorite author’s other works. For example, if they love Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, get them Emma or Sense and Sensibility instead!
- If your recipient has never read any books by an author before but really liked one of his/her works (e.g., they watched the movie adaptation), then give him or her another title by that same writer–it’ll be like starting off with an introduction!
- Maybe there’s a genre of literature that really speaks to your loved one? Or maybe he/she prefers nonfiction over fiction? Either way, there are plenty of titles out there just waiting for him/her! Just make sure whatever gift idea you choose fits within his/her preferences 🙂
Signed books from their favorite authors, even if it’s just a nice note from them.
A signed book from their favorite author is a great gift for any bookworm in your life. You can often find signed copies on eBay or other used booksellers, and they’re also available from many authors on websites like Etsy and Amazon. Some authors have even started selling signed copies directly through their own websites, like John Green has done with his store for The Fault in Our Stars .
If you don’t want to spend money on buying a new copy of the novel (or if there’s no new edition out), try searching for an old one that hasn’t been sold yet!
You can find many used copies of books on eBay and other sites, as well as in thrift stores and garage sales. These are often cheap to buy, especially if you’re looking for a rare edition. If you’ve got a favorite author who has written multiple books, search their name on Amazon or other booksellers to see what’s available. You might be surprised by what comes up!
There are so many unique ways to express your love of books!
- Give the gift of reading. Whether it’s an old favorite or a new title on your list, there’s nothing like giving someone a book as a gift. Books are one of those things that people can always use more of!
- Personalize it! Personalized books are one of my favorite ways to give a unique present because they’re so different from anything else out there. They come in all shapes and sizes (and prices), so you can find something that fits your budget and tastes perfectly.
- Start up a book club or subscription service with friends who love reading as much as you do! You’ll get to spend quality time together while talking about books–what could be better than that? Plus, if everyone buys into this idea then there will be plenty more opportunities for gifts down the road too!
- Explore some specialty shops dedicated solely towards selling new releases by indie authors who’ve been published by small presses rather than big publishing houses like Penguin Random House LLC which owns Random House Publishing Group LLC which owns Ballantine Books LLC which publishes works written under its imprints including Del Rey Books at Random House Publishing Group LLC…
Give the Gift of Reading
Give the Gift of Reading
When you give the gift of reading, you give someone the chance to explore their interests and learn about new things. It’s also a great way to help them relax or unwind after a long day. And if your friend or loved one is an avid reader, then this is an excellent way for them to expand their collection! There are several ways that you can give books as gifts:
- Buy a book from your favorite bookstore or online retailer (like Amazon). You can choose whichever book fits your budget and tastes best!
- Use an e-reader device like Kindle Fire (which comes with thousands of free titles) so that they can access hundreds more titles without having any extra clutter around their house–or even take them anywhere they go!
Personalized Books
Personalized books are a great gift for anyone who loves reading. Books can be personalized with names and messages, drawings especially for kids, photographs especially for weddings or other events, quotes and sayings. The possibilities are endless!
Book authors often sign their work–and it’s not hard to find them at book signings or events like Comic-Con (where I met my favorite author!). You can also get personalized books from companies like BookPal and AuthorSignedBooksUSA.
Book Clubs and Subscriptions
- Book Club Subscriptions
- Book Subscription Services
- Book Subscription Boxes for Kids, Teens, and Men/Women
If you know someone who loves to read but hasn’t yet joined a book club (or just doesn’t want to), consider gifting them a subscription that will send them new titles every month. Here are some options:
Specialty Book Stores
If you’re looking for a more unique gift, consider a visit to a specialty book store. These stores can be found all over the country and offer a wide selection of books that you won’t find at big-box retailers or even online. Here are some examples of what you might find:
- Rare and collectible books
- Signed copies by authors
- Signed copies of first editions (for those who want something extra special)
How do I find one near me? Type “bookstores” into Google Maps and look at the results! You might also try asking around at local libraries; many have lists of nearby bookshops they recommend as well as maps showing where each place is located within town limits so that customers don’t have far travel distances when making purchases from these establishments.”
Book-Lovers’ Experiences
As a book lover, you know that reading is a popular pastime. And while we all love to receive gifts, experiences can be more memorable than items. Experiences can also make the perfect gift because they’re more personal than material things. And if you’re looking for something affordable or unique? A reading experience will fit the bill!
Here are some ideas for giving your favorite bibliophile something special:
1. A gift card to their favorite bookstore or library 2. An e-reader like a Kindle or Nook (if you’re not sure which one they prefer, ask them!) 3. A book of coupons that can be redeemed for things like movie tickets, restaurant gift cards and other experiences
There are many ways to give the gift of reading, so it’s perfect for anyone on your list.
Books are the perfect gift for any bookworm. You can find a book to fit anyone’s interests and budget, whether you’re looking for a book in their native language or something they’ve been meaning to read.
