10 Perfect Christmas Gift Ideas If She Adores Books
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… to shop for the book lover in your life! But let’s be honest—buying gifts for a bookworm can feel like stepping into a library without a reading list. Fear not, my fellow gift-giving elves, because I’ve compiled a list of 10 fabulous, bookish gifts that will light up her literary-loving heart this Christmas.
Personalized Book Embosser
Nothing screams “ultimate reader” like a custom embosser that stamps “From the Library of [Her Name]” on her books. It’s elegant, personal, and oh-so-chic. Bonus points if she loves lending books—it’s a classy way to ensure they come back.
Bookish Blanket
Think fleece, oversized, and covered in literary quotes or her favourite book covers. Pair it with a mug of cocoa, and you’ve given her the perfect excuse to stay in and binge-read all winter long.
Literary-Themed Candle
Gift her a candle that smells like her favourite fictional setting—whether it’s the smoky vibes of Sherlock Holmes’ London, the floral meadows of Pride and Prejudice, or even the cosy scent of an old library. Trust me, it’ll set the perfect reading mood.
eReader (or Accessories)
If she doesn’t already have a Kindle or Kobo, this could be a game-changer. If she does, accessorise! A stylish case, a pop socket with a bookish design, or even an eReader stand for hands-free reading could be just the ticket.
Subscription Box for Readers
Who doesn’t love monthly surprises? Book subscription boxes like Book of the Month, Once Upon a Book Club, or OwlCrate deliver books and goodies right to her door. It’s like Christmas every month!
Cosy Reading Lamp
A sleek, adjustable reading light is a practical yet thoughtful gift. Go for one that clips onto books or has a warm, soft glow. It’s perfect for late-night reading marathons without disturbing her partner.
Bookish Jewelry
Think necklaces with mini book pendants, earrings shaped like open novels, or bracelets engraved with literary quotes. These pieces are subtle enough for everyday wear but pack a whole lot of bookish charm.
"Blind Date with a Book" Set
Wrap up a few mystery books (ones she hasn’t read, if you know her well) with hints like “A gripping thriller with a strong female lead” or “A heartwarming holiday romance.” It’s a delightful surprise that keeps the festive spirit alive!
Beautiful Book Journal
For the reader who loves tracking what she’s read, a dedicated book journal is a treasure. Look for ones with space to jot down favourite quotes, ratings, and personal reflections on each book. Pair it with fancy pens for an extra touch.
Literary-Themed Tote Bag
Every book lover needs a sturdy tote to haul her latest haul from the bookstore or library. Go for one with a witty slogan like “Too Many Books? I Think Not” or a design featuring her favourite author.
Pair It with a Personal Touch
If you know her favourite genre or author, go the extra mile. Add a newly released book from her favourite series or an author-signed copy if you can find one!
There you have it! These gifts are guaranteed to make any bookworm's Christmas merry and bright. Which one do you think she’ll love the most? Or, if you’re a book lover reading this, drop a subtle hint to Santa in the comments.
Happy gifting, happy reading, and Merry Christmas!
