1) Books

Of course, any reader would love a fresh new book for the holiday. 

But be aware of your reader’s book tastes. Don’t buy a book if you don’t know if it’s the genre they like. Also make sure your reader doesn’t already own a copy of the book. 

Where to buy:

Any local book shop (ie. Barnes and Noble, Half Priced Books. etc.)

Amazon

Book Depository

2) Gift Cards

The safest gift you can give to your reader for the holidays is a gift card. You don’t have to worry if they already have the book and they will be able to purchase whatever they want. It’s a win-win in the gift giving department.

Where to buy:

Anywhere gift cards are sold.

3) Book Swag

Book swag is any item that relates to books or particular books that readers love. For example, you can go to almost any store and find Harry Potter trinkets, candies, and more. So if you know your readers favorite book or series, try finding an item to commemorate that love. Swag can include: postcards, posters, stickers, bookmarks, decals, pins, keychains, totes, candy.

Where to buy:

Etsy

Amazon

4) Jewelry

Jewelry is a unique gift option for a reader that likes to wear jewelry. Just like book swag, jewelry is a gift that you can specify to a reader’s favorite book or series.

Where to buy:

Etsy

Amazon 

Some book shops

5) Book-Inspired Mugs

Does your reader like to collect or drink from mugs? Well then, I suggest trying out a book-inspired mug for a holiday gift. You can get a basic reader mug with a cute saying or go with a book-themed mug with your readers favorite book or series.

6) Book-Inspired Candles

I’m a complete sucker for a good wax melt, so of course these will make my list! There are so many amazing soy wax small candle shops online that make the perfect smelling candles for book lovers. You can get your reader a candle that smells of books. Or one based on their favorite book or series. The options are endless.

Where to buy:

Etsy

Some book shops

7) Book Sleeves

Help your reader protect their books with a book sleeve. These sleeves will keep the corners and covers safe when your reader travels with their books. Which is obviously everywhere because what book-lover doesn’t always have a book on them?

Where to buy:

Etsy

Amazon

8) Bookends

Your reader should be able to show off their beautiful books on their bookshelf, so help them out by getting them some decorative bookends. Find a style that your reader would like to display. It can be a favorite animal, character, design and so much more.

Where to buy:

Barnes and Noble or local book shop

Etsy

Amazon

9) Stationary

I mean, who doesn’t love stationary? Your reader needs somewhere to write down their to-be-read (TBR) list now don’t they? So go ahead and get them some colorful pens, notepads, and post-its.

Where to buy:

Any office supply store

Walmart
