Finding that perfect gift for a bookworm isn’t easy. Though the most perfect gift is obviously a book, but which book should you pick? You’d like to buy the new bestseller, but they might have read it already or they might hate the author (hell hath no fury like a book lover gifted a book by an author they hate!). So what should you buy for the book loving person in your life? Here are gifts for book lovers that aren’t books but will truly delight and make them delirious with happiness.

These are some lovely gift recommendations. I love the tote bag recommendation especially. #tmmreads #blogchattera2z
What a great collection of recommendations, I am gonna share this from a month before my bday 😛
Wow..I love all of these. Book lamp looks unique. I have a couple of friends who are book lovers and I often face this dilemma what to gift then. These options are very useful and I am sure they will like it. Infact I would like to have them as a decor item. That lamp and the cushion..
Oh! These are just great. This is exactly what I’m going to forward to my friends and family. All 10 are greaattt! But the 10th one takes the cake for me. The library stamp too but since I predominantly use Kindle these days, it won’t come in handy. But I love it anyway. Great post as usual! 🙂
Lovely ideas. I really liked the book lamp, it is something different. The tote bag and coffee mug also look amazing perfect to carry a book and give company while reading a book.
What have you in mind for me? HeHeHe.
Wow Shilpa, another great topic and I love all the gift ideas you had shared here. my personal favorite is bookish coasters and bookish candles. both are looking so elegant.
Fabulous. Wasn’t aware of these items.
I love them all but my vote goes for the Book Lamp!! Great ideas Shilpa!!
Can I have one gifted to me? He he
Awesome gifting ideas. Liked the idea of book sleeve, throw pillow case, tote bag and coffee mug. I also like book marks! There is one on Instagram that does amazing book marks. Not the paper kinds, check out @anan_creates !
Ooh I would love that book lamp. I’d also love to have personalized bookmarks from outside this list. Great compilation 😀
Loved the bag, the clock and all. But what amused me most is the book lamp. How wonderful!! How nice it would be if we keep on our bedside table. Ahh, we will have books sin our night dreams also. I guess! Wink wink, just looooooved this post. How amazing are all the gift ideas! Thanks for sharing Shilpa.
wow..i love your all beautiful collection.it’s very useful and i am sure everyone like it.
For me, Tote Bags and Coffee Mugs any day.
You have come up with such wonderful ideas for this series. Loved it so much so far and waiting for more!!
Aha, super cool ideas I never thought about and once, the madness ends, will buy some for myself, tote bag, coasters, book sleeves and pillowcase. Stay safe!.
Some of those are really lovely! I am definitely a bookworm, and I keep a public Amazon wish list so people can see what I’d actually like to read… 😀
The Multicolored Diary
Nice gift ideas but I would prefer a real book over all these. However, the library stamp would be helpful.
How cool are these. I love the book lamp.
Bibliophiles definitely appreciate bookish merchandise as presents! Thanks for sharing these lovely ideas.
That is a very thoughtful way of gifting. Thanks Shilpa for inspiration. I fell in love with the personalized library stamp. The rest are great as well.
These are great recommendations, Shilpa. One thing a bibliophile loves as much as books is a bookish gift.
damn… how have I never thought of a library stamp??? Such an awesome idea that would be
Wow what an amazing list of gifts. I would love to have that library stamp.
Exhaustive list, I would love the entire world to gift me these please . You know I loved the idea of my personal book stamp am getting this done at the soonest.
Very nice gifts, Shilpa!
Book-mark is 11th gift for the list 🙂
Good ideas but please spare me the candles, the book sleeves and the coffee mugs.
All the gifts are beautiful and meaningful too. I liked the best is No. 2 and 7. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a nice thought … A good list.
The book lamp has had my eye on it for quite some time now. Have you seen Quirksmith Jewellery’s bookmarks!? They’ve some silver bookish beauties!
Hi Shilpa. This is really thoughtful and clever. I think every book lover will appreciate and enjoy this gifting idea . To be honest, I will definitely without a doubt
Omg really really loved the book stamp idea! Since I am a book collector, and just prefer buying them for my little library, this makes perfect sense to me ❤️
Some fantastic gift ideas here, the book stamp is perfect, my grandaughter has just found the joy of reading so I now have a present that I can send to her. Thank you
these are just the perfect gifting ideas. i know now what to gift to you coz you’re just the right person for these gifts lol.
you can even add the book guards and book stoppers too in the list.
Book lamp, that beautiful pillow and tote bag, yes Life is sorted now. Lovely gifting options.
Coincidentally, I have also written on the same topic.
Btw your choices are really amazing. Loved it.
The book lamp, jewelry and coffee mugs for sure. Actually all the gifts are lovely. But I am totally dazzled by the book lamp! How innovative! Bookends are also great gifts. And tote bags, the eternal favorite.
Thank you for this because I am always wanting to get books for my adult friends but I don’t know what all they’ve read..so I can’t really ask them without giving it away lol…”have you read ____?” Then if they say no, they know I’m getting it for them so it’s not really a surprise lol.
