Unsure of what to buy that bookish introvert in your life? I’ve got your back! Whether they’re into Harry Potter, self care nights spent in the bath reading by candlelight, or if you’re unsure which kinds of books they like, I’ve compiled a list of bookish gifts sure to show the reader in your life that you care.
Bookish gifts-
~Gorgeous metal feather bookmarks to make you think of pegasus and gryphons while reading your newest book. This gift is perfect for the reader who enjoys paperback books.
~@storiarts writing gloves- because no one likes to be cuddled up under blankets only to have your hands get chilly from holding your book! This is a fantastic gift for ebook and print lovers alike.
@bookishbathshop bath salt line based off of your favorite stories and characters such as Harry Potter houses and Sarah J. Maas’ Court of Thorns and Roses series, to name a few. Even if you’re uncertain which book the reader in your life enjoys, shop by scent to surprise them with a delectable treat.
@brioandbrandish pins to decorate your backpacks, satchels, and more. The kitty curled up in front of a stack of books is my favorite!
@mybookmark- a fun filled shop with hilarious bookmarks to make you laugh. From Santa stuck in a chimney, to mermaid tales, avocados, sloths, and unicorns, find the bookmark of your dreams here! This is a lovely gift idea for readers of all ages. I even imagine someone who has to study would enjoy seeing a charming bookmark resting in their textbook.
If you want to buy a book to go along with your bookish gift, below you’ll find a list of books I’ve read and reviewed lately. In the new year, I’ll have a new section on my website complete with reviews for each of the books separated by genres. Unfortunately I only have three genres available for you today because those three genres are what I predominantly read this year.I also send book reviews out to my email subscribers.
