Looking for the best Bookworm gifts to give the reader in your life? You have come to the right place. Book lovers, like myself, LOVE books, but they seldom love ALL genres. Additionally, bookworms not only read a lot of books, but also buy a lot. Unless you know of a book they need or stumble upon a signed first edition of their favorite, you may like to look for gifts that aren't books.
Being both an avid reader and a writer I am often in the company of bookworms and we swoon over certain items that are always sure to please us. Pens and journals are never enough, we love whimsical, imaginative things and can never get enough of cozy. I have included a wide range of gift that would fit whatever budget you are working with. From $5 to $300 (only three items over $100) with majority falling within the $10 to $30 price range.
Some of these gifts may seem random, but every one of them can be the absolute best bookworm gift whether for Christmas, holidays, annyversaries,birthdays or just because. You are sure to find the perfect gift, or add something new to your own wish list!
This post is all about the 53 Best Bookworm Gifts that aren't books to please book lovers.
BEST BOOKWORM GIFTS FOR EVERY SEASON:
Bookish Gifts for Readers on the Go
Reading and travel go hand by hand. I love stopping by airport bookstores for a nice book to read on the plane, but that's not always an option. On the other hand, the book on our wishlist may be easier to find and read online. Sometimes one just wants to close their eyes and listen to a story read by a professional narrator. Therefore, the next few bookworm gifts are for those times when you need to put the rest of the world on mute and disappear into your favorite book.
1. Audible Premium Plus Membership Plan
Thanks to audible I can listen to audio books while doing chores, cooking, or traveling. In addition, it is the perfect app to use while driving, making those long commutes and rush hours bearable. My kids and I listen to audio books together in the car, which is a great way to share our mutual love of books. When it comes to giving a gift to someone who loves books, but you don't know what book to get, an Audible membership is the perfect way to go.
2. Kindle Paperwhite
