The best holiday gifts for book lovers and avid readers

Finding the perfect gift for your loved one every holiday season can seem like an insurmountable challenge. Sure, some people have an easier time shopping than others, but the key to becoming a gift-giving pro is to consider the interests of the recipient. If you’re looking for a unique gift for the book lover in your life, you’ve come to the right place. Of course, you can always go to the bookstore and buy your bookworm a new book or two, but while this will certainly be appreciated, it’s worth remembering that the most avid readers you know may already have your favorite book in their steadily growing TBR pile…or they may have skipped it on purpose.
That said, while a physical book may be the most obvious gift for a bibliophile, it’s not the most creative. If you’re looking for a more unique gift for someone who’s always up to date with what they’re reading, then we’ve got you covered. In addition to a wide range of book-themed gifts, we’ve also collected bookish accessories that will make their reading experience more comfortable and enjoyable, while also offering top-notch gifts that pay homage to their favorite hobby. From reader-approved cashmere sweaters and bookshelf-worthy classic suits to crisp leather bookmarks and delightful clutches, these are the bookish gifts for your favorite bibliophile.
