If you've got a book lover in your life, the easiest route when holiday gift-giving rolls around is to buy them one of the best books of 2019. Or one of the best non-fiction books of 2019. Or one of the 80 books every person should read. Hell, even sign them up for one of the best audiobooks of 2019. But if you'd like to avoid giving them a book—because honestly, they likely already own it and have rated it on Goodreads and debated it in their book club—here are 23 book-related gift ideas for people who really love books but don't necessarily need more of them. (Although yes, there are a few books in this guide. But cool, unique ones.) Here's to making their reading experience the best one.
