NOVEL GIFTS FOR THE BOOKWORM IN YOUR LIFE

We have at least encountered someone who is a part of our lives who’s a bookworm and we often get confused as to what we should get them on their special day. These gift ideas will be appreciated by book fans—from library card coasters to a 100 Books Scratch-Off Poster

Buying gifts for readers that aren’t books may feel contrarian, but consider this quote from the Dutch philosopher Erasmus: “When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.” Meaning? The avid reader in your life likely already owns a lot of the thing they love the most.

So instead of guessing what your favourite bibliophile’s next page-turner might be (though if you want a good bet, check out our favourite books of 2022), opt for one of Erasmus’ other necessities, like a book-themed mug or a super plush robe made for curling up with a good book. A thoughtful, more personal reader gift will delight any of the book lovers in your life.
