What to Get Your Favorite Reader this Holiday Season

By Phoebe Breed

Holy smokes, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about gifts to give your loved ones for the holidays! I may be procrastinating figuring out what to give others by dreaming up what I’d love to unwrap under the tree. While this is bad news bears for me, it is great news for you! Read on to find gifts that are sure to make your bookish loved one light up.

Bathtub Caddy

I am guilty of reading in the bathtub on the regular. I always keep a towel nearby to dry off my hands before I turn pages, but I am terrified of dropping my beloved book or ereader into the tub! Enter the bathtub caddy. Sign me up! A place for my book, my wine glass, AND a candle – just send me to heaven now. The only thing that I’d add are some bath bombs.

Reading Mug

What goes with a book more than a cup of coffee? Well, maybe a cat. But that’s featured on this mug too! Also, maybe wine. But there are no rules saying you can’t put that in this mug, and I’m not here to judge.

Book Candle

Okay, I thought of something else that should go along with that mug: a candle! Not just any candle though, a candle of the best smell in the world. This candle smells like “cherry blossoms in full bloom, stone-faced buildings, and leather-bound books in a sunlit library” but they had me at books.

Bookends

This one is self explanatory. If you have books, you have a bookshelf. If you have a bookshelf, you need bookends! Ideally, bookends are fun, fit the decor of your home, and draw attention to your prized possessions on the bookshelf.

Throw Pillow

Reading requires finding a comfortable position so you can tune out of real life and immerse yourself in the world of your book. Naturally, pillows help with that process, and what better pillow than one that proclaims what we were all thinking in the first place?

Book Darts

These helpful little guys are the perfect solution to marking the lines you love without writing in your book, dog earring a page, or some other form of book treason. Book darts don’t bulk up your books either! Whether you’re reading for fun or for school, book darts should be your go to.

Tote Bag

Give the gift of taking reading on the go with a punny book bag! No more cramming books into purses or not having room to bring it with. This bag could be your go to on the way out the door, so that you can take advantage of any free moment to read!
