Gifts for Book Lovers
Beyond guessing which novel they haven't read — thoughtful gifts that any reader will actually use.
The reliable winners
When you don't know exactly which books they own, give the things around the reading. A warm, adjustable book light; a comfortable book stand; a beautiful bookmark; a soft throw for the reading chair — these delight readers and you can't buy them a duplicate.
An e-reader is the big-ticket gift that genuinely changes how much someone reads, especially for commuters and travellers.
For the collector and the cosy reader
Handsome bookends, a small display shelf, or attractive storage suit anyone with a growing collection. For the cosy reader, pair a reading pillow, a throw and a candle into a 'reading night in' bundle.
A reading journal or a subscription to an audiobook or ebook service makes a lovely gift for the reader who has all the gadgets already.

Common questions
What do you get a reader who has everything?
Consumables and comforts rather than gadgets: a beautiful bookmark, a throw for the reading chair, a candle, a reading journal, or a gift subscription to an audiobook or ebook service.
Is an e-reader a good gift?
For commuters, travellers and anyone short on shelf space, it's one of the best reading gifts there is. If they're devoted to paper, lean toward accessories instead.
