The Gift Of Literature: The 11 Best Gifts For Book Lovers

Book lovers – we all know a couple of them. Every time you see them, there’s always neck-deep in some new release from their favourite author. Sounds like it’d be easy to think of gifts for book lovers? Just grab them something that they’d love to read and they’ll be thankful!

However, sometimes you don’t know what genres they prefer, or whether they’ve actually read a book you’re considering getting them. Or maybe you want to be more creative than just getting them yet another book! Let’s take a look at some of the top book gifts and non-book gifts for book lovers of every kind.



11. Book Safe

Looking for mother’s day gifts or father’s day gifts for your book-loving parents? This book safe can hide their important possessions in plain sight. It won’t look out of place on any bookshelf, and at first glance, no one’s going to suspect it as anything other than a dictionary. This is definitely among the top novelty gifts for book lovers!

10. The Sandman Omnibus by Neil Gaiman
If you’re looking for gifts for comic book lovers, look no further than the complete Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Widely considered one of the greatest comic book series of all time, any graphic novel enthusiast is going to go gaga over this literary gift. It’s also a great gateway drug to comic books for teenage book lovers.


9. Fountain Pen
Many people who love books also love writing, whether they’re aspiring to have their own novel one day, or just like jotting down their daily lives in a journal, a fountain pen is a great way to make their love official!

Fountain pens write vastly better than the average ballpoint or gel pen and provide access to a wide array of inks to suit any personality. It can also be one of those romantic Valentine Day gifts for your significant other because whenever they use it, they’ll think of you!

The legendary Lamy Safari is one of the best starter fountain pens on the market, and it’s a great gift for any book lover. Just make sure that your recipient is ready to start spending a lot – once you get started with fountain pens, it’s hard to stop.


8. Journal
A perfect companion to the fountain pen gift! A good journal will enable your giftee to express themselves in writing. You'd do well to choose a journal with high-quality paper with a good GSM (grams per square meter) rating, which will allow the ink to settle in better and will actually last much longer than regular paper.

Journals sometimes have a reputation for being somewhat feminine gifts, but tons of great male writers throughout history have kept journals of their own; so, they’re definitely a good choice for male book lovers too!


7. Electric Corkscrew
Nothing matches a book so exquisitely as a brilliant bottle of wine. An electric corkscrew will make it easier for your friend to pour a glass to pair with their favourite book.

It’s one of those great cheap gifts that are appropriate for a wide variety of people, including wine and book lovers. It’s also a good fit for wedding gifts – newlyweds are sure to have a lot of wine ready for their honeymoons.


6. Sleeved Blanket
On cold days, there’s nothing quite like curling up next to a fireplace or space heater with a good book. Any book lover would be served well by a warm blanket to make things even cozier. Try getting this for children’s book lovers – who doesn’t love reading cute, inspiring stories while feeling all warm and fuzzy inside and out?



5. S. by Doug Dorst
Wanna turn a book lover’s world upside-down? S. is a novel within a novel, with several separate layers of storytelling. S. contains the text of a novel called The Ship of Theseus, written by a fictional author named V.M. Straka and ostensibly written in 1949. It also contains markings and notes written by Jen and Eric, two college students who repeatedly exchange the book, trying to uncover the identity of the author.

S. is a dramatically new take on the traditional novel. This and other books like it are unique gifts for people who don’t just love novels and narratives, but also the act of reading itself.


This alternate-history novel follows a ‘literary detective’ named Thursday Next, who travels through different novels and literary universes in pursuit of a criminal who has been kidnapping characters from classic literature. Lovers of classic books and poems like Jane Eyre and The Raven will enjoy meeting famous characters in this universe-hopping adventure.
