Valentine’s Day is approaching fast, and the book lover in your life probably expects something bookish. We’re giving you six great ideas so you don’t have to think about it. These gifts are great for everyone, whether you’re buying for a bookish significant other or for a friend who’s obsessed with reading. Make these options even more personal by creating them yourself!
Blind Date With A Book
Blind dates have a whole new meaning, with the idea behind a blind date with a book. Etsy has some very fun options, including boxes that have fun trinkets and supplies included with the book. This book may be something your book lover has never read, so it will keep them in suspense when they can’t see it right away. I’ve personally purchased two blind dates with a book and I’ve enjoyed them both. If you want to get even more heartfelt, put your own fun box together and personalize it to their tastes.
A Comfy Bookish Sweatshirt
Everyone could use a comfy sweatshirt to wear when they are reading a book in their cozy corner. Make that sweatshirt unique to them and browse numerous Etsy shops to also support small businesses. If the book lover in your life has a Cricut, maybe you will learn how to use it and print your own design. Make sure the sweatshirt is comfy, oversized, and maxed out on cuteness.
Personalized Bookmark
Every reader needs a bookmark, so why not get them a special one? This gift has a lot of freedom because you can either buy them quite literally anywhere or make your own! There are hundreds of tutorials on making different bookmarks and also hundreds of places to buy one. They’re pretty cheap, so you could even get them a few different ones to switch between. We support bookmarks here at Bookstr (rather than dog-earing the pages)!
Signed or Original Copy of Their Favorite Book
If you were someone who gifted the deluxe edition of Onyx Storm to your significant other for the holidays, you are winning in life. A special or signed edition of a book is a book lover’s dream, and you’re sure to be the favorite on Valentine’s Day with this gift. Pay attention to what books they love, and then go do your research to find out if there are special copies!
Book Bouquet
Flower bouquets are a Valentine’s Day staple, but book lovers might prefer something a little off the cuff. Putting this together doesn’t have to be expensive, and it shows that you put thought into the gift. Go to Target or your local discount book store and grab 5-8 books that your bookworm loves. Arrange them in a paper bouquet with other little flowers for extra decor. A book bouquet lasts longer than a flower one, and any reader will rejoice in all the new books they get to read!
Book Subscription Box
Subscription boxes are always fun to receive in the mail. If you have a little extra money to spend this year, head over to the internet and shop around. Lots of subscription boxes have other goodies besides the book itself, so it’s even more fun to open. Book of the Month offers a great monthly subscription for books their team deems worthy. The subscriptions range from 3-12 months, and whatever you choose is sure to put a smile on your gift receiver’s face.
Now that you’ve got no shortage of ideas get out there and go shopping for the bookworm you love. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and you don’t want to be the person who waited until the day before to get a gift!
