It may come as a surprise, but many book lovers don’t want to receive books as gifts. While you think you know your loved ones, you may not have the best of idea of which genre and authors they enjoy reading. Plus, you don’t want to run the risk of getting them a book or series they’ve already read. Thankfully, there are so many other options that literary enthusiasts will appreciate.
As an avid reader, there needs to be a certain vibe when I read. I’ll slip on my fuzziest socks, whip up a mocktail and cuddle up in a blanket before scrolling through my Kindle app. Any of those items that create a cozy aesthetic a book lover would totally appreciate. Practical gifts like bookmarks, reading lights, and book ends are also foolproof options.
Read ahead for 17 best gifts for book lovers that aren’t books. These gifts are so on point that they’ll be ready to get started on their next read in no time. Don’t be surprise if you’re inspired to pick up a page-turner once you’re done shopping here!
