5 best gifts for book lovers

1/ Personalised Book Mark

To fold the pages or not? If you (or the book lover in your life) are firmly in the no camp then a bookmark to treasure is a great gift idea. Even better – get a personalised one for that extra layer of thought. I really like the subtlety of these leather corner book marks – they can be personalised with initials too.

2/ Make Your Own Vase Book Ends

Now there’s a chance that a book lover owns a pair of book ends already – so with this gift idea you are giving them a twist on a classic. Not only do these book ends double up as vases to ensure your shelf looks beautiful, but it’s actually a pottery kit so that you can make them yourself! Ticking the craft gift box too. Take a closer look at the vase book end pottery kit here.

3/ Portable Reading Light

Yes, presents can be practical too! If you’re looking for a gift a book lover will use again and again – a handy reading light is a must! More specifically, a reading light that’s small, light and compact so can be used anywhere. Long car journeys in the evening or night time spring to mind for me – nothing more annoying than wanting to read but not being able to due to lack of light! I really like this Flexilight book light with its amazing cactus print design.

4/ Personalised Book Embosser Stamp

If you love the idea of branding your own books – just for your own reference or also very useful for when (if) you lend books out to others, then this book embosser stamp is perfect! The inner librarian in you – or the book lover in your life – will be immediately obsessed.

5/ London Literary Walking Tour

If you like to give experience presents then this could be a great gift idea. How does a literary walking tour sound? You can choose from a range of bookish icons like Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie or Shakespeare and spend a delightful few hours strolling around key places in London from their life and works.
