by Brianna Know a reader? Need to get them a gift, but don't want to fall back on gift cards to their favorite book stores? We've got you! Whether you're buying for a friend, co-worker, or your book club's secret Santa exchange, this list should point you in the right direction. This list does contain affiliate links (marked with an asterisk *) , so you're helping us, too, when you use our links. Happy shopping! Awesome Gift #1*: |
This hat is perfect for the reader who's passionate about freedom of expression! It's a PSA they can wear daily to remind others what an important right reading freely is. Also, I'm a bit of a low-key baseball cap collector, and this hat is well made, with the best non-Velcro and plastic-free adjustable strap. Bonus: the company, Out of Print, donates books and money to literacy programs around the world. So your purchase will help spread the love and gift of reading! |
Awesome Gift #2:
"That Which Is Read May Never Die" T-Shirt
"That Which Is Read May Never Die." Game of Thrones fans will love this shirt! It's available in men's and women's size. We love that it's designed by the folks at Library Comic, who are a team of artists, writers, and librarians who put out a fun comic about the realities of modern library work. |
Awesome Gift #3*:
Book Lovers' Candle
Send your reader to their favorite place with these Book Lovers' candles. Locales include Avonlea, Narnia, Lallybroch, Winterfell, the library, and the bookstore. There are also personas, such as Sherlock, Gatsby, Mr. Darcy, and Ophelia. And that's not all of them, but you get the idea. Candles are usually a safe gift, but these feel a little more personal and less seasonal. |
Awesome Gift #4*:
Book Journal
Moleskine makes a great product, and this book journal (part of their Passion Journal series) is no exception. It's super giftable in its box and a beautiful blue. Each page is organized with fields like title, author, year of publication, nationality, and more. Stats like that can help a serious reader track goals like reading more books published outside the US, or translated from another language, or from a particular decade. Fun bonus: it comes with stickers! And it has a pocket! |
Awesome Gift #5*:
Litographs
If you haven't encountered Litographs yet, you are in for a treat. They create art based on popular books, made completely of the text of the book. Or song lyrics. Or state constitution. Pictured here is the complete text of Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief, on a poster. Litographs also puts their art on tote bags, shirts, scarves, blankets, pillow cases, and shower curtains. There are a lot of classics, as they started with public domain titles, but they've since made arrangements to produce art based on more recent works. Their catalog now contains over 200 titles! |
Awesome Gift #6:
Felt Board Letters
If you have a Harry Potter fan on your hands, chances are good that they will love this! Felt message boards are super popular and common, but did you know that you can order letters in unusual fonts? This font is also available in a variety of colors. Again, we don't get anything for this one. It' just cool! |
Awesome Gift #7*:
TableTopics Book Club
Readers that love talking about books will enjoy this Book Club edition of TableTopics. It contains 135 cards with questions that can work for just about any book. This gift is perfect for anyone who loves the comradery of a casual book club, but doesn't want the hassle to coming up with fresh questions each time. |
Awesome Gift #8:
Library Tarot Deck
Awesome Gift #9*:
Anomia
Awesome Gift #10*:
So Many Books socks
"So many books, so little time"- so true! If your reader doesn't have space for more books, and nothing else on this list seems quite right, remember that everyone could use socks. We love this pair, because the colors are gender-neutral and complementary for so many looks. A great small gift or stocking stuffer. |
