Recently, I searched online for Ferrari-themed novelties for my middle son. I didn't expect to find many. Boy, was I unprepared for the number of ideas that began to pop up? Turns out, he's not the only one preoccupied with a certain Italian racing car company. I snagged a hat, a shirt, and a handful of stickers. Admittedly, I don't love Ferrari--a car is a car to me. Not better or worse than any other. But I love my son, and he loves Ferrari. So, I make it a point to invest in his passion in order to invest in him. Sometimes, I need a little help, though. I need to be pointed in a good direction.

Luckily for me, other folks have done the legwork and have compiled ideas for us lay-car drivers to find just the right accessories for the auto enthusiasts in our lives. The same can be said for those whose loved ones are competitive dog grooming people or soap carving people or geocaching people or any other wildly-weird-but-freakishly-fulfilling-hobby people. I'm so glad the internet provides shopping suggestions for all of them.
The following is a list of gift ideas specifically curated for Bibliophiles who don't just want to read books; they want to cultivate a literary lifestyle complete with all its creature comforts. If you're a book nerd like me, feel free to pass this list on to all the gift-buyers in your life. I plan to.
Usher in an entire season of fun with this unique Advent calendar designed especially for book lovers. Inside the bi-fold box, readers will find 25 envelopes containing unique book-themed trinkets, including stickers, colorful greeting cards, readerly wrapping paper, and so much more!
Books and tea are like peas and carrots; they just go together. The tags on each bag of these novel-themed teas contain a quote or quip from a literary classic.
I'm looking for two more book-themed mugs to complete a set of 10 for my monthly book club so that each member can sip a cup of something hot and cozy while we chat. This one, with its memorable first lines from well-known novels, needs to find a home in my cupboard!
What does reading time actually smell like? I'm not sure, but the folks from GSPY have apparently bottled it up for us and set it in wax.
When your TBR is longer than the tax code, you don't necessarily want to spend all your quality book reading time pre-reading kid lit for your kids. With a Biblio-files membership, you'll have dozens of clean and captivating titles pre-vetted for language, violence, sexual content, and political agenda to pass on to your children. You can rest easy knowing they are growing their literary pallet around quality books while not sacrificing your own reading hours. Additionally, starting in Volume 4 of the monthly files, you'll receive a just-for-moms book suggestion to keep you turning pages too!
Sending a postcard is a tangible way to connect with others. Any bookish friend would happily give or receive one of these classic book-inspired cards.
With 27 different colors to choose from, this Jane Austen-ish sweatshirt would pair well with any skin tone. But it might look best on an obstinate, headstrong girl.
Library-themed socks are a book fiend's hidden declaration. You can wear them and quietly display your loyalty to books without saying a word.
This recipe book would make an excellent gift for any book club hostess, Jane Austen fan, or tea drinker looking to add a tasty treat to her reading experience.
If none of the books on your TBR sound even slightly interesting, a Blind Date Book and all its whimsical accouterments might be just what you need to climb out of a reading slump.
Late-night, bedtime reading doesn't have to leave you with a backache. A specially designed reading pillow can keep you turning pages pain-free for hours.
Filled with bookmarks, stickers, bookplates, postcards, a journal, and more, this unique stationery box is designed with readers in mind.
If you're gonna read in bed, you may as well be comfortable. With these jammies, you'll not only feel good while reading, you'll look good!
A bookmark makes a good stocking stuffer for the reader in your life. A customized leather bookmark elevates the gift to great!
I've often seen wood book stands used for cookbooks--to hold the spine open so the recipe is easier to read while the dish is being prepared. However, when placed on a desk, counter, or even the edge of a bathtub, a book stand can also make an excellent holder for an eReader or a paperback.
Perhaps, when you were little, you took a trip to The Emerald City or Neverland through the pages of a book. Now as an adult, you can make a quick return trip with the help of this Literary Locations Puzzle
I have a book-themed book bag and a book-themed cosmetic bag. But they were bought separately and don't match each other. It may be time to rectify that with this 2-piece due date bag set.
Right now, you can grab 3 months of Audible plus a $20 Audible credit for only $.99 cents a month and cancel at any time. I've logged 82 titles in my reading journal so far this year. Audible has played an enormous part in that ballooning total of books.
Book club members often need a place to store the titles they are currently reading, along with their reading journals and note-keeping tools. A book wrap is the perfect traveling bag for any and all bookish necessities.
This throw pillow, featuring five neutral tones, would add a readerly flair to a comfy chair or reading nook.
Any one of these gifts can be paired with a new book and presented with love to your favorite Bibliophile. Your thoughtful consideration in selecting just the right bookish treasure will speak volumes to the special person in your life who likes to read volumes.
