Best gifts for a book lover?

Do they have an e-reader? I love my Kindle. I used to swear I’d never use it because I always preferred actual books, but it’s actually so nice to have an e-reader. There are a lot of free books you can get for it, so your friend doesn’t even have to spend money on the e-reader if they don’t want to!

Do they have a favorite book? If so, they might appreciate a signed version if the author is still alive. If they aren’t, you could buy your bud a first-edition printing or a special hand-bound copy.

It might not actually seem book-related, but buy them a mug warmer. Most bookies I know are huge coffee and tea drinkers, and there’s nothing better than sipping a warm drink while reading a book on a snowy or cool day!

My bf is a big book nerd and writer, and so one year for his birthday I made him a book out of cardboard and nice fabric. I wrote a lovey-dovey note on the first page and then the rest was blank for him to journal in or work on his novel. He absolutely loved it! I found a tutorial online for it (it may have even been wikiHow, lol) and it really wasn't as complicated as it seems.

If you live near (or in) a big city, look for a famous bookshop. You’d be surprised how many historical bookshops there are across the country. Some of them are unique because a famous author read there once, while some of them have notable collections or distinct architecture. Either way, take a road trip with your friend to the famous shop! You two will have a blast just poking around and looking at books.
