Bookish Birthday Gift Ideas

Not sure what the perfect gift for a book lover is? Put simply, it’s going to be something that indulges their passion. In this blog post we’re going to be covering our favourite presents for literary loved ones.    

Wearable Bookish Items 

Wearable bookish items compliment a reader’s literary fashion sense and their love for book culture. You can match the item to their favourite book genre or author! For example, you could choose to purchase these fun 

Harry Potter book earrings if they’re a fan of J K Rowling’s work , or opt for these exciting banned book socks for the mystery genre lover. 
Visit the Literary Gift Company, who have a variety of unique literary fashion accessories. Your choices are truly endless, from clothes, jewellery, shoes, hats, trend-fitting masks and much more. We’re sure you’ll find something they love from here!  

Local Bookshop Gift Card 

It’s a known fact that readers love one thing most: books. For this reason, bookshop gift cards are a wonderful option. Why not choose a local bookstore instead of a chain?

If you're in Cardiff, try the famed Troutmark bookshop. With its cosy interiors and quiet location it's sure to be a winner!   e-Reader, Cases and More!  A Kindle Fire is a perfect choice for the reader who doesn’t mind going digital. There are many benefits to owning an e-reader, with the choice of accessing endless apps and higher speed rates for reading. Throw in a bookcase if you can too!

Browse our favourite ethical KleverCase catalogue for some exquisite Kindle Cover options.   Make this gift more special by showing them how to use the device for Bookstagram, the Instagram page dedicated to books. The device can then capture high quality picture shots for their posts. To help you learn more about Bookstagram we’ve put together a guided blog here.  

A Reading Getaway 

A reading getaway is a one-of-kind experience. One we particularly like is the getaway to deeper Sussex in the lovely Tilton House. There’ll be plenty of time for reading. There will also be allocated times for guests to gather in their pyjamas for fun activities, including a literary supper with a well-respected author. Previously, Naomi Alderman and JoJo Moyes showed up! You can also choose from a variety of other reading getaways here. 

Personalised Gifts to Make Them Light Up 

Sometimes a reader might prefer a gift which is personalised to their interests. You may want to try something from our list of personalised gifts:  A Vintage Mechanical Keyboard is for the reader who also loves writing. It looks and feels rustic with a modern touch.  

The Personalised Library Kit is perfect for the book lover who enjoys visiting their local library. They will love this endorsed library kit which comes complete with book plates, a date stamp and cute checkout cards.  

Get creative by putting together a Personalised Book-Newspaper filled with quirky memories of the recipient. If you want to get something similar for a child, the Photo-Personalised Book features the child as part of the story, which will elevate their reading experience.  

Book Cookie-Cutter is a cookie-cutter shaped like a book, and at the end of the day, they will get to eat edible books--it won’t get any better than this.

We hope these gift ideas have inspired you to find the perfect present for that special reader! Whichever one you may choose will be memorable and make them feel fully loved.
