Let’s face it – the readers on your gift list are usually pretty easy to shop for. That can also mean they’re not that easy to surprise. If your reader already knows she’ll find the latest release from her favorite author under the tree, keep the element of surprise alive with one of these practical gift ideas that are certain to delight book lovers of any genre.
Book on Book Transparent Book Paperweight
Want to enjoy your book outside during your lunch break? This ingenious paperweight kills two birds with one stone by holding your book open to your place while simultaneously protecting it from food splatter. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?
Fingerprint Bookmark
Bookmarks are a great invention; they let you keep your place without having to dog-ear your book’s pristine pages. Only trouble is, they don’t tell you the exact spot where you stopped reading – until now. These handy bookmarks can be positioned to point right where you left off. No more wasting precious reading time skimming to figure out where to start reading.
Personal Library Kit
For anyone who tends to lend books and then lose track of them, this library kit would make an incredibly useful gift. Complete with card-pocket, lending cards and even a date stamp, it has everything needed to turn a home library into a lending library (and help absent-minded borrowers remember to return their books on time).
Book Scented Candle
For your friend who got a Kindle but won’t stop talking about how she misses the way real books smell, this Old Books scented candle should satisfy her senses. And if that’s not enough to to make your bibliophile happy, the Book Lovers candle line also includes such scents as Sherlock’s Study, The Shire, Pemberley Rose and Winterfell.
