What is the perfect gift for book lovers? Do you know?
Looking for a gift is always a challenge – so much more with book lovers. While you could purchase them a new book or a gift card to their favorite book store, gift cards can feel a bit impersonal, and it can be difficult to select a book for someone else.
Try one of these amazingly unique non-book gifts instead.
31 Perfect Gifts for Book Lovers
1. Library Candle
For a bookworm, there’s no place happier and more peaceful than a library.
With a Library Candle, your favorite bookworm can enjoy that feeling from the comfort of their home.
Its scent of leather and old pages are complemented by earthy notes of orange, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and sandalwood.
2. Book Printed Scarf
If your favorite bookworm loves scarves, take a look around the Storiarts shop.
They print scarves with text from books like Pride and Prejudice, The Raven, Alice in Wonderland, and James and the Giant Peach.
The online store also makes gloves, book pouches and totes, and pillow covers in various book prints.
3. “Just One More Chapter” Throw Pillow
We all know there’s no such thing as “just one more chapter,” especially when you’re reading a great book, but we all say it.
Pay homage to this reading addict quote with an elegantly printed throw pillow.
4. The Book Seat
Holding a book for hours on end can become rather tiring!
We’ve tried practically everything to give our arms a rest – our laps, phones, and even rocks – and experienced limited success.
The Book Seat is the perfect solution. It also doubles as a travel pillow, which makes it perfect for reading outside, on the plane, or at our favorite coffee shop.
5. Fabric Book Cover Protectors
We prefer that our books stay in pristine condition, but the battle against the elements is sometimes lost.
Cups of tea and coffee, the rain, and sticky surfaces at our favorite coffee shops plot against us.
These fabric book covers offered in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and patterns, make protecting our favorite books easier.
Your favorite bookworm will be taking you for your thoughtful gift for years to come!
6. Banned Book Mug
We are of the mindset that good literature should never be banned, but so many great works have been challenged and removed from the shelves of libraries.
Help your favorite bookwork pay homage to these controversial pieces of literature with this fun banned book mug.
When the mug is cold, the titles of the books are blacked out, but as soon as heat hits it, the names of the banned books are revealed.
7. Mr. Darcy Bath Bombs
If we know Mr. Darcy (and we do!), he smells downright scrumptious.
Gift your favorite bookworm these Mr. Darcy bath bombs and they’ll smell lovely, too!
All they have to do is plop one in the tub, grab a good book, and enjoy a nice, comforting soak.
8. Book Novel Tea Tin
Nothing in this world can compete with a good book and a cup of hot tea – expect maybe these adorable novel tea tins.
With titles like “Anise in Wonderland,” “Matcha Do About Nothing,” and “Pride and Peppermint,” these ornately designed tins pay homage to our two favorite things in the world – books and tea!
9. Book Themed Socks
Book-themed socks are the best! They remind us of our favorite books wherever we go.
There are also a variety of themes related to books available plus they are super affordable.
10. Leather Book Purse or Handbag
Book totes are wonderful for carrying books around, but their functionality can be limited.
These stylish book-themed leather handbags and purses allow us to carry all of our stuff while also sharing our love for books, no matter where we’re at!
11. Shakespeare Insult Poster
Some might see Shakespeare as outdated, but we know the truth! His dagger-like wit remains unmatched, even hundreds of years later.
Give your favorite bookworm the gift of 100 classical literary insults (and a great conversation piece) with this awesome Shakespeare insult poster.
12. Folding Portable Book Lamp
Book lamps come in all shapes and sizes, but we love this one, purely for the fact that it looks like an actual book.
It closes and opens, just like a real book. It’s also ultra-portable, so your favorite bookworm will have a reading light, wherever they go.
13. Book Embossing Stamp
We love sharing our favorite books with friends, but only when we get them back.
If the bookworm in your life feels the same, give them this embossing book stamp as a gift.
The personalized, crisply embossed stamp will be a constant reminder for those who borrow books from his or her personal library.
14. Over-the-Tub Book Caddy
We love reading during a good soak, but if you’re not careful, the pages can get wet.
Give your favorite bookworm a solution with this nickel-plated over-the-tub book caddy. It’ll even hold a glass of wine (or a cup of tea) and a candle for ambiance.
15. Papercuts: A Party Game for the Rude and Well-Read
Papercuts is basically like “Cards Against Humanity,” but it’s designed especially for book lovers. The game features 75 question cards and 175 answer cards for hours of rude, bookish fun.

18. Fun Bookmarks from MyBookmark
We’ll never have enough bookmarks, but if we could, these handmade ones from MyBookmark would be the last ones we’d ever buy.
The selection is wide, ranging from Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter characters to sloths, brides, and beagles.

If you’re looking for a small but meaningful gift, this bibliophile keyring is a perfect choice!
It features one of our favorite quotes on books. It’s also nickel and lead-free.
20. F. Scott Fitzgerald Unframed Book Page Print
Few quotes are inspiring F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “For what it’s worth.”
Pay homage to his words with this unframed book page print (or frame it for them).
