Illustrated Edition of a Favorite Book
If your loved one has an eye for art, then an illustrated edition of a favorite book is a perfect gift. Illustrated editions add a whole new dimension to the reading experience. My husband gifted me an illustrated version of the first Harry Potter book, and it is one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever been given. I found that the illustrations made the story even more enjoyable for me and have allowed me to share small excerpts with my children as well. Consider gifting a beautifully illustrated copy of a beloved classic or a modern favorite for a unique gift that your loved one might not buy for themselves.
Complete Series Set
In my opinion, a series of books is one of the best gifts you can give to a book lover. Because one book is never enough right? Treat your loved one to a complete series set of their favorite author or genre. Whether it’s an epic fantasy saga, a thrilling mystery series, or a heartwarming collection of romance novels, a boxed set ensures they won’t have to wait once they dig into the first book. Plus, having a matching set looks so good on the bookshelf! This year, we’re giving the complete set of Percy Jackson to my 9-year-old because he has recently gotten into fantasy books, and these are some of my favorites. I hope he loves it!
Literary-Themed Subscription Boxes
Who doesn’t love a good surprise? Sign your favorite book lover up for a literary-themed subscription box that delivers a curated selection of book-themed goodies to their doorstep every month. These boxes often include not only a carefully chosen novel but also book-related gifts like candles, bookmarks, and exclusive merchandise. It’s like Christmas morning on a regular basis! Choose a subscription that aligns with their reading preferences, whether it’s science fiction, romance, or classic literature. A couple of popular ones are LitJoy Crate, The Bookish Box, and Once Upon a Book Club.
Book-Themed Apparel
Give your loved one a chance to let the world know about their passion for books with some stylish bookish apparel. From T-shirts adorned with literary quotes to cozy hoodies featuring iconic book covers, there’s a wide range of options to suit every taste. Help them express their love for literature in a fashionable way, whether they’re attending book club meetings or just enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon with a good book. Some of my favorite sites for this are Litographs or Out of Print.
Personalized Book Embosser
Looking for the ultimate thoughtful gift for your bookish friend? A personalized book embosser is the answer. This gift allows your loved one to stamp their name in their books. It’s an old practice that I think needs to be revived. Choose a design that resonates with their personality, whether it’s a whimsical design, an elegant monogram, or a favorite quote. Here is a simple example and here is a more intricate one. Every time they open a book, they’ll be reminded of your heartfelt gift, making it a truly special and enduring token of love or friendship.
I hope you found the perfect gift for your favorite book lovers in this post. For more great posts about gifts and books, check out:
