Hello
Bookworms,
Many of you are trying to find gifts
for your family and friends. I’m willing to bet that most of you have one
person on your list that LOVES books!! That might even be the only thing you know
about some of the people on your list. To keep you from pulling any more of
your hair out, here are a few ideas on what to give your favorite bookworm (or
what to tell your friends or family to get you ;) )
Bookmarks!
Every
person that reads books needs a way to mark their place and a bookmark is a
perfect way! Bookmarks come in a very wide variety of materials, sizes, shapes,
and colors. Every bookstore sells them and most of the time they are cheap!
Bookmarks make good small gifts or stocking stuffers for the bookworm in your
circle of family and friends!
Bookends!
Maybe
you’re looking for something a little more substantial that a bookmark but you
don’t want to spend a ton. How about bookends? Bookends come in so many
different forms that you’re sure to find some that will fit your family member
or friend’s personality or home décor perfectly!
Book Covers!
Another
small and inexpensive item is book covers. These little spandex covers keep
hardback books from getting all scratched up over the wear and tear of reading
them or carrying them around with you and would make a great gift for the
family member who is a little rough with their books J
Book Memorabilia!
A
great thing to give a friend who super loves a particular book or series is
memorabilia straight from the story! Three great examples are Harry Potter,
Twilight, and The Hunger Games. These books have become very famous and have
LOADS of merchandise from ornaments to figurines to games to t-shirts, jackets
and much much more! Can’t find your family or friends favorite book memorabilia
in store? Look around online! Many stores only carry the most popular ones so
check their online stores or places like Amazon.com, etc. to see if there is
any memorabilia out there for your loved one’s favorite story.
Bookshelves!
If
you’re looking to spend a little more money, and your friend or families books
are overtaking every space in their home, why not buy them a bookshelf? Whether
in store or online, there is most likely a bookshelf to match your friends
decorating taste. J
Books!
The
best thing to give your book loving friend is, of course, a book! Listen to
what they say around you and I’ll bet they will mention a book that they really
want or an author that they really love! There are literally MILLIONS of books
out there and they come in all price ranges so you are sure to be able to find
one that you will be happy to give your
loved one this Christmas. J
Box Sets!
Do
you have a friend or family member who is obsessed with a particular series of
books? If they don’t already own a copy of all of the books in that series a
good gift might be a box set of the entire series! If there is a series there
is more than likely a box set of the whole thing so check out your local
bookstores and online stores to see how to get one for your loved one!
Book lights!
Book lights are an ingenious little
item that won’t drain you Christmas shopping budget and will be of use to your
book loving friend! A book light will allow your friend or family member to
keep reading during a blackout, or when the person next to them at night needs
to sleep with little to no lights on. They come in a variety of shapes and
colors and usually only require a 2-4 small batteries. J
Audiobooks!
Do
you have a family member or friend who loves books but is on the road a lot?
What about a someone who is not able to see very well anymore but still loves
stories? Well a great idea for these people is audiobooks! Just about every
major book has been made into an audiobook and it allows people in compromising
situations to hear the stories they love!
Decorative Book Boxes!
You
have probably seen these in a lot of stores over the last few years. If your
friend or family member needs something to hide valuables in, go for a more
realistic looking book. If they just want them for storage and decoration, go
for more decorative books!
I hope these ideas have helped you figure
out what you can give your book loving friend or family member this Christmas! J With just a little time and effort you
can give your loved one a book related gift that they’ll really enjoy.
Until Next
Time,
Lizzie <3
