Reading a book is an experience, not just an activity or hobby. Ask any avid reader. Reading is about imagination and being transported to a place that is not reality. It is about escapism and entertainment. When a reader picks up a good book, it is so difficult to put it down. So if you know any Book Enthusiasts in your life then the following super cool gifts for book lovers are a must and will really enhance their literary experience.

The Ultimate Book Lovers Gift List

1. First up, a bookmark. I know, how obvious is that! But Book readers are obsessed with these things and a lot of collect them. And they are always needed. There is always going to be a time where you have to put your book down and go answer the door to someone selling you something (How do these people know you’ve just settled down with a book) or you need to go get a snack. Whatever the reason a good bookmark is essential and I have found one that makes a beautiful gift.

I really like this handmade bookmark from thepenguinco. It is pretty and a little different to the conventional bookmarks out there. Makes a really cool gift for book lovers don’t you think?

2. Alongside a good bookmark, you require and excellent mug and water bottle. Seriously, you and your book need to be together for hours and you don’t want to be getting up to make tea/coffee or fetching a glass of water. No, you get your supplies before you snuggle up. I really like this water bottle from Etsy. Super cool gift for a book worm.

3. Talking about snuggling, there is nothing more satisfying to a reader to be on their lonesome with a good book and a blanket. So how about treating someone to an ultra luxurious book blanket. A great gift idea for someone who loves to cosy up with a good read.

The one I really love is this Pride and Prejudice Purse/Clutch which also has a quote from the book on the back. Seriously cute and would make an amazing gift.

24. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who constantly carries their books around with them, then how about gifting them a book sleeve. No more folded corners or crumpled pages. Only happy book readers.

25. Finally, book vouchers. You buy the book vouchers and they choose the books. Personally I don’t like this option as you could buy me everything on this list and I would be super duper happy BUT if you have no idea about the books/genre your gift recipient likes then this is a safe option. Also is a very good last minute gift idea.
