Gift Guide for Book Lovers

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

It is no secret that we love books here. We have more books than bookshelf space right now. So what do you buy for someone like us who just loves books? I have listed a number of things that all book lovers are going to go crazy for. I have been reading to my kids since they were babies and my love for books has rubbed off on them.

I love books, and you know what else I really love? Libraries. I love public libraries. The books and the atmosphere.

Does the book lover on your list want to show off their love for books everywhere they go? This black Bookshelf print infinity scarf loop scarf is just the thing to do it!

I want this! This is a great gift idea. A poster to scratch off the titles/covers of books that you have read from a list of 100 must read books.

These are perfect for reading in bed. No more trying to pile pillows up behind yourself trying to sit up comfortably in bed, this allows you to comfortably sit where ever you wish to enjoy your book.

This orange and nutmeg Library candle is perfect for any book lover. Relax with this orange scented candle. There is just something about the smell of oranges that relaxes me.

How cute are this library card socks?! My kids wouldn’t know what made them library socks only knowing digital check out but I still think that they are awesome. And maybe they would go great with this next gift…

I have thought about buying this personal library kit for my kids, and I just might this year for Christmas. It is a great way to keep track of your books, and to remember who has borrowed a book from you, if you let friends borrow them that is.

Curl up against your reading pillow, grab a great book and stay warm with this cozy waffle weave throw.

This is an amazing book! I read it before we moved and I’m so glad I did. ” Librarian Martha Storm has always found it easier to connect with books than people—though not for lack of trying. She keeps careful lists of how to help others in her superhero-themed notebook. And yet, sometimes it feels like she’s invisible. But all that changes…”

I know I’m not the only one who does this! How can we be expected to put a book down when it is just so interesting? My girls and I could all use this pillow.

My favorite movie ever! I still want the Beast’s library, can you just imagine curling up with a blanket, a cup of hot tea and one of the many books?

People who love reading book or going to libraries will love this cool If Found Please Return to Library t-shirt. This is perfect for any librarian or book lovers.

Looking for a new bag for all those books you are buying or borrowing from the library? Here you go!

Does someone on your shopping list always seem to be loosing things like their keys or their iPad? Save them some time searching by buying them a Tile or two.

With 13 pockets total this purse organizer, (3 exterior pockets, 10 interior pockets) with singly detachable pocket in the middle which can keep valuable articles or used as a separate wallet after detached. Extra detachable long felt keys chain help find the keys easily.

This double wall insulated Lilac stainless steel bottle filters as you drink, reducing chlorine (taste & odor) found in tap water. This one is on my wish list! I don’t care for the taste of tap water.

This bathtub tray has a holder for stemmed glass and a holder for your book or tablet with three different tilting angles for watching movies or reading. It creates a nice environment for a relaxation.

This 20oz tumbler is with Double-Wall vacuum technology to keep drinks hot for over 6 hours and cold for around 24 hours. I don’t know about you, but I could never have too many travel mugs, I use them on the go, and I use them in the house because cup get knocked over, coffee split, and I don’t need little ones getting burned.

For your best friend, an animal lover, this cute dog print heart friendship cellphone popper is perfect. It has an unique pattern design to make a cell phone or tablet look beautiful and have a comfortable grip. This is something I really should get for my phone too… maybe it wouldn’t hit the floor as often.

This is the perfect size for personal lunches. You can give the gift of being able to bring the comfort of flavorful meals on-the-go. And being dishwasher safe, it’s not work to use it. I love this Crock-Pot Lunch Warmer.

Thanks to the comforting and immensely pleasant scents of sweet vanilla and floral lavender. The familiar scent of vanilla is strong, unmistakable & at the same time, very, very delicate.
