My bestie's birthday is coming up and she's a total bookworm, so of course I want to get her something related to this passion. I could get her a book, but I always get her books, so I would love to get her something a little more unexpected but still related, like a cool book light or book-themed mug or something. So, hit me with your best, most bookish ideas! Thanks in advance!
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!
My absolute favorite thing to get my friends is candles and perfumes inspired by their favorite books/movies. Here are some of my favorites lately:
Paddywax makes a lot (even though it's spooky season I've got their spicy "Christmas Carol"-inspired candle lit right now; if her birthday is closer to Christmas I recommend i!).
Poesie makes a fragrance called "Library Ghost" that smells like marshmallows and vanilla and wood and ahh, it's perfect to wear while curled up with a good book, especially during spooky season.
The Little Book Eater on Etsy makes fragrance rollers inspired by books and literary characters like Rebecca or Hermione. Their "Reading at the Cafe" one is my favorite right now, smells just like coffee.
