Hello, be(e)loveds! ♥ I know that Christmas is still far away, but I think now it’s the right time to start thinking about presents for our dear bookworms; there are literally endless options. In this post, I wanted to help everyone that has no clue of them to find an ideal solution — believe me, it’s easy to find something cute and original. Besides, I’ll add the links to some of my favourite shops that could be handy also for any book enthusiast who needs some extra inspiration. I really hope you’ll enjoy reading my recommendations; so, without-further-ado, let’s get started!
My first piece of advice will be the most obvious too. It’s not a bad idea to get a book to an eager reader, right? It’s logical. However, the matter it’s tricky. Although it could be nice to discover new books, not everyone will appreciate a surprise; they maybe prefer a book that’s already on their TBR, instead of a title that they don’t know at all. But, do not panic! Nowadays, there are plenty of ways to find out their deepest heart desires; Goodreads, Amazon wishlists are all valid tools there to help you in the sneaky deed. And if nothing works, you could simply go with a gift card. It’s not as pretty or romantic, but at least you’ll be sure that your beloved one will be happy with it.
What’s another important tool for every reader? Yes, bookmarks! Well, to be fair, I often use whatever happens to be near me while I need to keep track of my reading progress, but let’s ignore this for now. There are so many kinds of bookmarks, wooden, magnetic, more classic ones…I’ll show you some of my favourite out there (the photos come from my Instagram feed unless otherwise specified).
‘In the reads‘ is definitely insuperable when it comes to wooden bookmarks; the details are awesome. Lauren creates small masterpieces. As for magnetic bookmarks, you can find some amazing options especially on Etsy; but if I were you I’d check out Theia’s shop. I’d love to collect them all!
Moving on, another classic is scented candles; you can’t go wrong with them. They’re pretty, smell heavenly and nowadays are essential. Here it’s difficult to name just a few, but let’s try!
If your beloved bookworm (or you) is a fan of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and mythology, I highly recommend MidnightFlameCo.
Enamel pins are a huge trend currently, so I would consider to get one if you want to be original. Iron & Ink Design and ReadandWonder are stunning options.
And what’s better than to drink a hot beverage while reading in the upcoming winter nights? It is worth to think about gifting your beloved bookworm a lovely mug; why not have a look at the amazing creations of Miss Bohemia? She’s the sweetest, and her products have outstanding quality.
Readers bring books everywhere, even the most unlikely places; as a result, they need protection. Have you thought about buying your darling reader a book sleeve? They’re wonderful and extremely practical. Check out BookBestiesUK to for some jawdropping alternatives.
Last, but not least there are subscription boxes; it’s certainly a more expensive present, but if you feel like investing some money on it, you’ll gain bookworm friend everlasting affection. My absolute favourite? Illumicrate, for sure. They never stop to amaze me. Another popular one is Fairyloot, and it definitely deserves some consideration.
I still have some endless ideas, but I think that it’s all for today’s post. What’s the best bookish gift you received? I’ll be waiting for you in the comments below. Don’t forget to come and say ‘hi’ on Instagram; I’ll be more than happy to see you there too. Until the next adventure,
Lots of love,
Debora ♥
