Deck the Shelves! 7 Gifts Every Book Lover Needs This Festive Season


Woman reading book

Finding the perfect gift for the avid reader can be a bit like getting lost in a dense plot twist – where to start? This Christmas, help your loved ones fully enjoy their next reading session with thoughtful gifts designed to support and enhance their literary indulgence. Here’s a witty list of 7 ideas that will bring joy to any bookworm's cosy corner.


  1. A Glow That Says “Just One More Chapter”


Every reader has stayed up ‘just one more chapter’ past bedtime. Gift them a soft, adjustable night light that’ll keep the pages lit without turning the room into daylight. The ideal night light will offer a warm glow that won’t disturb their partner or their eyes. Go for one with a clip or gooseneck for hands-free reading!


  1. Mug-nificent Sips for Page-Turning Moments


A cosy reading session isn’t complete without a hot drink in hand. Give them a nice, large mug – ideally one with a quirky book-related slogan or a literary quote. Even better, find a mug that retains warmth, keeping their tea or coffee perfectly hot as they dive deep into their latest plot twist.


  1. Kindle or e-Reader for the Minimalist Bookworm


For the reader who’s always got a book on hand, a Kindle or e-reader is a lifesaver. Not only can they carry an entire library in a single device, but it’s perfect for commuting or travel. Choose one with adjustable lighting for easy reading both indoors and out. Extra points if it’s waterproof – just in case they fancy a read in the bath.


  1. Cosy Cocoon: Blanket Edition


Nothing beats snuggling under a cosy blanket on a winter’s day with a good book. Opt for a plush, warm blanket that will turn their reading nook into a soft haven. Extra comfort means extra pages read!


  1. The Book Holder: Because Sometimes You Need Both Hands for the Snacks


For the reader who loves to get hands-on with a cup of tea or snacks, a book stand is a thoughtful gift. Whether they’re in the kitchen or simply resting their arms, this tool will hold their place and free up their hands. Look for one that’s adjustable and stable – the ultimate support system for multi-tasking readers.


  1. Bookmarks that Say “Hands Off My Pages!”


Help them keep their place in style with a set of luxurious bookmarks. Forget paper scraps or bending precious pages; think magnetic bookmarks, vintage-inspired designs, or even leather tassels. The more beautiful the bookmark, the more likely it’ll save their spot with pride.


  1. A Personalised Book Embosser – So Their Library Is Official 📚


If your loved one is a true bibliophile, gift them a personalised book embosser with their name. It’s a unique touch that transforms every book they own into a treasured possession. They can mark their library with pride – no borrowing without returning!



This Christmas, help the book lover in your life turn every reading session into a delightful ritual. From snug blankets to stylish bookmarks, each of these gifts promises to make their next adventure in the pages even more memorable.
