Creative Gifts for Book Lovers
Looking for gifts for book lovers? Try these great ideas
It is surprisingly difficult to find gifts for book lovers. A book is usually a safe bet, but if they're true book lovers it's almost impossible to guess what they have and haven't read, or where their interests lie. Besides, books or even book store gift cards are kind of boring and unimaginative. If you really want to WOW them, try these out instead.
1. Personal Library Kit
If you need gifts for book lovers who lend their treasures to others, jump at this Personal Library Kit. It contains stamps, nameplates, and library card pockets so that your bookworm buddies can transform their shelves of treasures into their very own personal library.
2. Raymond Geddes Dr. Seuss Bookmarks
What is it with bookworms and bookmarks? It seems like no sooner do they get a new one than it's gone missing -- which makes buying them a pricey placeholder a daunting proposition. So beat them at their own game and buy this set of fifty bookmarks showcasing eight designs from Dr. Seuss classics, and they can lose them or treasure them at will.
3. Reading Robin Book Birdhouses
The ultimate gifts for book lovers are books used in new and interesting ways -- such as these birdhouses actually constructed from discarded and vintage book covers. Fair warning, though -- these are for decorative use only. Tell your book loving buddy to put it on the shelf, not in the trees.
4. Hand Full of Books Bookends
If your book lover's shelves are overflowing, they'll appreciate these "handy" bookends. They consist of two disembodied hands and wrists holding rows of books together. They're sleeker and classier than they sound, but still whimsical, so they make the perfect addition to any library.
