If you’re shopping for an avid reader, there are countless thoughtful ways to make them feel special with a gift they’ll truly appreciate- without gifting them books! Here are our top carefully curated gifts for a book worm in your life.
Etsy Book Annotation Kit
RRP: $8, shop here.
Does your book lover friend love to annotate their novels? This kit is a must have for them! With a reversible prentabbed annotation/ review bookmark, filled with tabbing prompts on one side with accompanying sticky tabs, and on the other a mini review to fill in, this is the perfect kit! Along with a bookmark they will receive a matching pen and highlighter set, a pen clip to keep their pen close at all times, and 2 cute stickers.
Readings Gift Card
RRP: from $20, shop here.
Any true reader knows that Readings is the OG for a wide array of novels from all genres. Regardless of if your book-friend likes romances or thrillers, literary fiction or sci-fi, they will definitely find something they love at Readings. Sure, vouchers aren’t the most unique gift, but they’re foolproof and perfect for those moments when you know someone loves to read, but you don’t know what.
Etsy Personalised Bookmark
RRP: $20.73, shop here.
With many colours and foil embossing styles to choose from, this leather book mark is super cute and super functional. While I personally love to fold down the edges of my pages to mark my spot, I know that a lot of book lovers hate this, so this heart-shaped bookmark is perfect for avoiding dog-eared pages.
Booktopia Flexi Rechargeable Booklight
RRP: $34.99, shop here.
Staying up until the late hours, reading in bed and getting absolutely engrossed in a novel is an ideal way to spend an evening for the book girl. This Flexi Rechargeable Light makes wild nights like these so much easier, allowing for full visibility of the page, no matter the level of daylight. Ideal for planes, reading in bed, or trying not to wake others, this is a must-have for all book lovers.
Etsy Personalised Book Stamp
RRP: $57.75, shop here.
In order for a book collection to qualify as a library, one must own at least a thousand books. While that’s an expensive goal to commit to, your book-loving friend can live out their home-library dreams with this personalised book stamp, allowing them to mark out their favourite novels as they build their collection. The stamp comes in a wooden handle format with an ink pad, or you can purchase a more modern-looking mechanical stamp. Either way, it makes a cute and unique gift that a book lover is sure to treasure.
