GIFT IDEAS FOR THE BOOK LOVER 2025

It’s gift guide time! We’re doing things a little differently this year. Rather than one big book for you to shop, I’m sending out daily gift guide emails and putting together videos for Instagram and TikTok. All of these items will be linked on LTK and ShopMy. And also Amazon where applicable. I hope shopping these ways will make it a little easier to digest all of the items I include in my gift guides. Happy Shopping!
“Shop Around the Corner” Hat – “You’ve Got Mail” fans will love this hat with the logo from the beloved store owned by Kathleen Kelly. Such a sweet, nostalgic gift from a classic movie.

“I Love Public Libraries” t-shirt – I have this cute cropped t-shirt and love it! For the person who loves the library this t-shirt is perfect!

“Libby is My Love Language” t-shirt – Another t-shirt I have and love! Libby is my favorite app to read books. This embroidered t-shirt is great quality. The design is embroidered and not screen printed. It’s a great gift!

“He Sees What You’ve Been Reading” Candle – This made me laugh. I also love the “He Sees What You’ve Been Reading” Santa Sweatshirt

Custom Book Embosser – Stephen got this for me for Mother’s Day and I thought it was so thoughtful. Your gift recipient can emboss all the books in their library with this custom book embosser. So everyone will know that their books belong to them!

Book of the Month Subscription – I love Book of the Month! This is a great gift for the reader on your list, or for yourself. You can get a $5 first box if you use my link!

Kindle Holder Pillow – This pillow has a electronic holder for your Kindle, Ereader or Phone. It also has little compartments for snacks, candy or drinks. It’s perfect for a hands free reading experience.

Kindle Page Turner – To go along with the Kindle Holder Pillow, this page turner allows you to turn the page of your Kindle, iPad or tablet without holding on to it. You press the remote and it turns the page for you. So you can prop up your Kindle and read without lifting a hand to turn the page. No more technology neck!

Hot Girls Read T-Shirt – A fun graphic tee for book lovers who like to keep things lighthearted. It’s cute, comfortable, and perfect for cozy reading days.

“Is That Smut?” Bookmark – This one is easily one of my best sellers every year, and I found a new version this year! It’s a funny, crowd-pleasing gift for any romance reader.

Bookish Tote Bag – I’m a sucker for a cute tote bag. You can always support a local bookstore and grab one from there, but I do like this one.

Personalized Book Blanket – A cozy and sentimental gift. I made one for my mom last year featuring her personal publications, but you could also customize it with someone’s favorite books.

Cottagecore Embroidered Sweatshirt – So soft and so cute. A whimsical piece for anyone who loves that cozy, vintage cottagecore vibe.

Book Locket Necklace – A dainty, everyday piece of jewelry that opens like a tiny book. Perfect for subtle everyday jewelry.

Book Tree Ornament – Ideal for a book club ornament exchange (we do this in my book club!). A thoughtful and festive touch for any reader’s tree.

Old Book Smell Candle – The name says it all. This candle smells divine and captures that nostalgic scent every reader loves.

“I Like My Books Spicy and My Coffee Icy” Glass Cup – For the iced coffee and spicy romance lovers.

Bookish Hats – There are so many fun options! Favorites include “Born to Read, Forced to Read Emails,” “Bookish,” and “I Closed My Book to Be Here.”

Fun Kindle Cases – I love the “Hot Girls Read” design from the Allie Rose Co x Brady Collection, and the “Breakfast Pastries” case is another favorite. Cute, functional, and full of personality. I have this one and this one too.
