I normally hate when people start celebrating Christmas early. In fact, I’m still in Halloween mode! But, it’s no secret that buying gifts early is the best way to get all you can, especially as Black Friday is approaching. Here’s a list of some ideas of what to get your book-nerd friends this holiday season.
- Books of course! Or at least money to buy books.
- Mugs are a great option. Especially nerdy mugs. We book lovers love to drink tea and coffee while we read.
- A pouch for their library card so they don’t misplace it. Again. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DL3F8G4
- The Literary Gift Company has so many things you could use including a magnet of Charles Dickens. https://www.theliterarygiftcompany.com/collections/kitchen/products/charles-dickens-magnetic-personality-fridge-magnet
- A cozy blanket for them to read in!
- Bookends are a good gift option, if your bookish friend has room for them!
- If you’re looking for something small, get them a bookmark or two.
- Does this book nerd have a sweet tooth? Consider getting them chocolate books. Seriously! https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/chocolateonchocolate/product/chocolate-miniature-books?referredBy=plp
- Another great place to get bookish gifts is “Book Lover Gifts.” They have many things including a Jane Eyre badge. https://booklovergifts.com/collections/jewellery/products/enamel-pin-birdcage-jane-eyre
- If this book lover is into classics like Jane Austen, consider getting them Austen book coasters to set their tea down on. https://www.etsy.com/listing/227986782/jane-austen-books-coaster-set-neoprene-6?source=aw&utm_source=affiliate_window&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&utm_term=3657&utm_content=639353&awc=6220_1604600853_daed4e14ee0e8b842776da0249b675da
- Maybe this book lover is into writing as well. If so, a fountain pen could be a good gift! https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Lamy+Vista+Fountain+Pen+-+Transparent%2FMedium+Nib+%28F%2FP+12+M%29&linkCode=gs3&linkId=1d61d58f20f4b2372c28685fa744bdd1&tag=mrsdarcy-21&ref=as_li_ss_tl
- For the Potterhead, maybe this frog mold so they can make their own chocolate frogs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EBMUNU?tag=bfanamaria-20&ascsubtag=4685426%2C18%2C42%2Cd%2C0%2C0%2Cbf-bru%2C901%3A2%3B900%3A2%2C483256%2C0
- Another great idea is a personal library kit, complete with stamps, cards, and bookplates. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1601060726/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=personal+library+kit&ie=UTF8&sr=8-1&linkCode=gs2&linkId=fd8feab9e6e3874941d11af5d2e796a5&tag=mrsdarcy-21
- You could also get them a literary embosser so they can keep track of their books. https://www.horchow.com/Library-Embosser/cprod56630002/p.prod?ecid=HCALRTnL5HPStwNw
- Another Potterhead gift could be getting them their own Marauder’s Map. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026PW67W/?tag=dodoburd-20
- You could also get them a good tote bag to carry all their books in!
- This Pride and Prejudice scarf is good for the stylish and bookish gal in your life. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PRD5YX8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=book+lover+scarf&language=en_US&ie=UTF8&sr=8-11&linkCode=gs2&linkId=9bcd6f58d171eaf7377fb8a3911cddcf&tag=taylorbradfor-21
- You could get the writer in your life this waterproof notepad to take notes in the shower! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Notepad-Pencils-Mountable-Notebook/dp/B00A3VJ7UK/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Aqua+Notes+-+Waterproof+Notepad+40+Sheet+Mountable+Pad&linkCode=gs3&linkId=e64fc85bbda031b5f231e1185ca53830&qid=1604601872&sr=8-1&tag=mrsdarcy-21
- Or, try this “Not All Who Wander Are Lost” necklace for the Lord of the Rings fan! https://www.literaryemporium.co.uk/collections/jewellery/products/lord-of-the-rings-compass-necklace
- For the friend that travels AND reads, try this book holder that doubles as a pillow. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/gift-ideas/g4031/reading-gifts-for-book-lovers/?slide=12
Good luck shopping for those book nerds (or yourself) this year!
