Still looking for a gift for the book lover on your list? This Gift Guide for Book Lovers is sure to have just the right thing!
My Favorite Gift Guides
I love gift guides! I start getting antsy in October, waiting for my favorite bloggers to post their gift guides, so that I can peruse and look for ideas for Christmas! Some of my favorites are from Everyday Reading, Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, Modern Mrs. Darcy, and Shutterbean. Even if I don’t buy the exact things recommended, they at least spark my imagination on things my family and friends may like.
I had so much fun creating last years Gift Guide for Book Lovers with Becca (who now has a Bookstagram as well) and Nicole, that we decided to make another one this year. Even if you’ve already completed your shopping for Christmas, this list is good for any time of year.
I hope you enjoy! ☺
Books
For the reader who reads everything!
This reader is special. She can read a spooky thriller one day and a charming romance the next. She can enjoy a world of fantasy and travel back in time to abolish slavery! You never know what she’s up to next. Which means you can’t go wrong with any book for her. A true Bibliophile.
Pair it with: candle set / mug / shirt
For the reader who loves romance!
This reader is looking for love in all the right places. She wants charming characters, a light-hearted story with meaning, and a happily ever after! And don’t forget the steam…
Pair it with: bookmark 1 / bookmark 2 / candle / sticker
For the reader who wants something different or unique!
This reader is tricky. She’s read them all and is looking for something fresh to pull her out of her reading slump.
Pair it with: mug / shirt / bookmark
For the reader who likes to self-reflect!
This reader is trying to be a better human. She wants to gain a better understanding of herself and others, so she can make the world a better place.
Pair it with: shirt 1 / shirt 2 / journal / onesie / sticker
For the reader who loves food!
This reader is my soul-mate. They collect cookbooks and food memoirs. They love it when a novel includes recipes that the characters make or discuss. A true foodie at heart.
Pair it with: cheese knives / shirt 1 / shirt 2 / mug
For the reader who loves a good cry!
This reader is a sucker for a sad story! She loves to have her heart ripped out of her chest, thrown on the ground, stomped on and then pieced back together, a little imperfectly.
Pair it with: sticker 1 / sticker 2 / mug / shirt
For the reader who loves to laugh!
This reader needs humor in her life. She believes that life is just too serious, so she needs her books to be lighthearted and funny.
Pair it with: mug / sticker 1 / sticker 2 / shirt
For the reader who likes to read diversely!
This reader wants marginalized voices, lgbtq characters, authors and characters of color and #ownvoices books. She reads to understand, to support, to create change.
Pair it with: sticker / shirt / mug / bookmark
For the young adult in your life!
This reader doesn’t even know what’s in store for her. But she’s developed a love for the written word and doesn’t plan on putting it down anytime soon!
Pair it with: pillow / shirt / sticker / bookmark / mug
Our favorite 2022 releases!
If your reader is looking for a guaranteed winner from this year’s new releases, be sure to check these out!
Too Many Books? Try These Instead!
- Coffee Subscription – my boss gave me a subscription to Trade Coffee for my birthday, and I’ve been enjoying the different flavors that I wouldn’t normally grab for myself. Use this link for a free bag to get started!
- Chai Mix – does your reader love tea instead? This Chai Mix is my most favorite and makes a delicious Chai Latte. They have a variety of flavors, but the Original is my choice.
- Kindle eReader – The Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite. It’s easy on the eyes and doesn’t give you the fatigue that a tablet or phone does.
Are you planning to give any bookish gifts this year? Have any recommendations for these types of readers? I would love to hear them!
Becca @ Life’s A Pearl
This is an amazing gift guide! I love all your pairings and officially want everything on this list lol. The next time I need a new wardrobe it will be all bookish shirts 😂 I love seeing what books you and Nicole picked too!

I know what you mean! I was having a really hard time not adding it all to my wish list. Can’t wait to see you in some of those shirts! 😍 the book recommendations were so much fun too and I can’t believe we didn’t all pick the same ones!
