With the holidays fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about gifts. But not just any gifts: gifts for book lovers. You may think, “That’s easy! I’ll just buy them a book.” But book-giving is tricky business: there’s always the possibility that they already have the book in question, have no interest in reading it, or don’t want any more books until they’ve read the ones they have (such people are rare, but they exist). So why not get creative and get them something that will enrich their reading life? Or something that will help them proclaim to the world that they are, in fact, book lovers.
The prices in this gift guide range from “extremely affordable” to “on the pricier side”, so there’s something for all budgets. There’s also something for all tastes: is your loved one a dark academia person at heart? You’ll find something for them. Are they more into cottagecore? Ditto. And who knows, perhaps after reading this post, you’ll decide that you simply need one of these ten items yourself. If that means blowing your gift-giving budget on yourself, well, that’s between you, me, and your bank account.
