    I selected some of my very favorite gifts that I have personally received along with some finds I discovered by accident along the way.

    HINT: If that book lover is YOU, don't be afraid to just send this whole post on off to your loved ones to make their shopping so much easier this year!

    Best Gifts for Book Lovers

    Have a reader on your gift list? These amazing and clever gifts are perfect for your favorite book worm and are sure to make their day extra-special.

    1

    A Year of Book Club Books

    Want to make your book lover squeal like a kid on Christmas morning?? Let her open up a box FILLED to the brim with every last one of the books from the 2022 Book Club List! (And then be sure she joins the online book club here!)

    Give her a year of reading and encourage her to spend a little time on herself in the new year reading these fun books for busy women. From romance to historical fiction to young adult to light thriller, there's a little something for everyone on the list.

    2

    Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Oasis

    If your book lover is extra-busy, loves to read at night in bed, is always on the go, or loves to collect quotes from the books she reads, a Kindle reader might be the perfect gift.

    I love both my Paperwhite and Oasis for different reasons, this review shares the pros and cons of each to help you decide which is your perfect match.

    BONUS: Want to go that extra mile?? Pre-load the Kindle with all the 2022 Book Club Books so she's ready to read on Christmas afternoon!

    This personalized book journal was created with book lovers in mind and has custom pages to coordinate with the 2022 book club list.

    Mix and Match printable pages and reading challenges help make reading even more fun with any book your reader wants to dig into next year.

    Bose Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones

    My husband bought me a fun pink pair of these AMAZING noise cancelling headphones for Mother's Day in the middle of 2020. With family home and around all day, every day, escaping behind my headphones has been such a treat.

    I listen to audiobooks hands-free while cooking or household chores or even while relaxing on the couch with my crochet projects.

    The huge over-the-ear headphones are amazingly comfortable and easy to wear.

    5

    Audible Membership

    Audible has come such a long way in the last few years, SO MUCH is now included as part of a membership!

    Not only can your reader enjoy a monthly credit for a book but there are Audible Original performances, podcasts, and a huge selection of novels that are included for free with the subscription.

    Savvy book buyers can also take advantage of daily deals and frequent sales that bring the prices of audiobooks down to the price of a cup of coffee or less.

    Listening to audiobooks has drastically increased the number of books I can read in a given year even though it isn't my only way to read. I love to listen during car commutes and with my bluetooth headphones at home.

    6

    Book of the Month Subscription

    Sometimes the biggest challenge for book lovers is simply battling decision fatigue and choosing which book to read next.

    Book of the Month offers members a limited option list of just 5 titles to choose from each month. Pick one and it is delivered in just days. It's a fun way to explore new authors and books that will quickly become bestsellers even before they make it big.

    You can gift Book of the Month in small subscriptions of 3, 6, or 12 months and the recipient can skip any month that the books don't appeal to them.

    7

    Kate Spade New York Canvas Tote Bag

    I no longer carry a "purse," I carry a "book bag." Ha! Treat your book lover to this stunning rainbow striped tote from Kate Spade that is the perfect mix of purse and book bag.

    Just be sure to tuck in a new book before you wrap it up!

    8

    Pride & Prejudice and Emma by Jane Austen

    I accidentally stumbled upon this set of Jane Austen books during an in-person visit to Barnes & Noble last summer. The gorgeous covers stopped me in my tracks and I couldn't resist flipping through.

    The books are absolutely STUNNING in person. Thick hard covers with elegant floral paintings throughout. But, my favorite part is that there are little accessories tucked in throughout the pages that help mimic the Austen era: printed invitations and letters, etc. that help bring the story to life in a physically tangible way.

    These would be an amazing gift for the Austen lover on your list.

    9

    The Read-Aloud Family

    If your book lover is a busy mom who wants to share her love of reading with her kids and help raise them to be future bookworms, too, The Read-Aloud Family is an essential title for her to-read list.

    I actually own this book in paper, Kindle, AND audio format because the moment I started reading it, I knew my husband had to listen to it on Audible and I wanted a digital copy always handy on my phone for trips to the library and bookstore.

    Custom Book Stack Portrait

    One of the hardest things for a book lover to do is to minimize the number of physical books in their home. HOW are we supposed to give away our precious reads??

    Gift your reader with this fun custom book stack portrait and they can display their very favorite titles right on the wall. What a fun way to show you've been listening to them as they chatter about their favorite books of all time.

    Or, simply give them a gift certificate so they can choose their own titles for a custom book art they'll cherish.

    11

    Watercolor Story Maps

    Narnia, Neverland, and Middle Earth are just a few of the worlds that artist Elizabeth Wade has lovingly recreated in watercolor story map form.

    Give your book lover a beautiful map of their favorite world: Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, Harry Potter, and so many more are available to mix and match.

    12

    Page Anchor

    This book gift is actually perfect for cookbook lovers! The heavy metal anchor helps hold a book open at the spine which is perfect for keeping a cookbook open as they cook.

    Available in silver, rose gold, yellow gold, and black finishes, you'll get the biggest bang for you buck by buying a set of multiple anchors. Divvy them up for a fun surprise for all the readers on your gift list!
