Happy Holidays, friends! While I have created this list of the perfect gifts for bookworms with Christmas in mind, it can really apply to any and all gift-giving holidays (birthdays, pick-me-ups, anniversaries, etc.)!

Down the Book Jar Merch

Yes, I am absolutely biased here, but buy some fun merch! Whether you’re looking for mugs or shirts or whatever, I do have a little something for everyone (with more designs released all the time).

Tech Gifts for Bookworms

Surprise! “Tech Gifts for Bookworms” is not actually an oxymoron. Ten years ago, it probably would have been. I’ll still always prefer the feel of an actual book in my hands, but there are some technological advances I have found to be quite convenient.

Kindle

There are a few variations of Kindle now. I personally have the Kindle Paperwhite and really like it! There is also the Kindle Oasis. Amazon also came out with its Colorsoft in 2024. There are some mixed reviews here, so proceed with caution. Additionally, Amazon has a Fire tablet that can work as a Kindle while also allowing you to surf the web, stream some shows, or even shop!

Personally, I see no reason to splurge for options without ads. I thought they would be obstructive, but they’re only ever there when you unlock the device.

Timer Bookmark

This is a super nerdy idea, but it’s also a really good one! I time myself when I read because it’s been a goal of 2020 to read for 20,000 minutes. I just use the timer on my phone, but a timer bookmark is a great option! This could also be helpful for teaching or encouraging kids to read. The bookmark can count up or down.

Wireless Headphones

If you have a bookworm friend who loves audiobooks, they probably need a nice set of wireless headphones. Depending on the recipient, they may enjoy earbuds more than headphones (or vice versa). I’m not personally a huge fan of audiobooks, but I am a huge fan of my Anker wireless earbuds.

Audiobook Subscriptions

Now, there are a TON of audiobook services out there, so you can always price shop or see if your recipient has an existing subscription somewhere. Some common options are:

• Audible
• Scribd
• Audiobooks.com
• Libro.fm – This one helps support your favorite local bookstore. If you need one to support, try Book’n It!

Cozy Gifts for Bookworms

There’s a reason “curl up with a good book” is a fairly common thing to say. Bookworms also love to be cozy! Now, “cozy” means something a little bit different to us all, but these are a few of my absolute favorites.

Sherpa Blanket

You cannot go wrong with a Sherpa blanket. I have one (I got at Costco a few years ago) and it is just the warmest thing. I also have a huge fleece blanket I affectionately call my “burrito blanket” that would make a great choice too.

Tea or Coffee

I do like the occasional cup of tea, but I definitely prefer my coffee. There’s nothing better than a bug mug of something warm.

Tea Options:

• Yogi Tea Stress Relief & Herbal Tea
• Tea Forte Variety Sampler
• Simple Loose Leaf Tea – It’s a subscription box! That’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Coffee Options:

• Death Wish Coffee – I’m a big fan of Death Wish, but it’s usually a “treat yourself” kind of purchase.
• McCafe
• Kitu Super Coffee – It has vitamins and antioxidants!
• Volcanica Coffee – Shop small! This brand is also local to Georgia. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and he was so kind. Always nice when you can support a person and put a face to the brand.

Massive Mug

Mugs are so universal now. Use them for the tea or coffee you got your bookworm, or you can make mug cakes/brownies, drink water, have some wine, eat soup…mugs are good for anything. It’s also usually a good gift idea for that coworker you got for Secret Santa that you rarely talk to.

Book Journal

There are a ton of pre-made options out there for people to use as a book journal (some included below). However, you can also set your bookworm up with the perfect gift bundle to make their own book journal! I’ve got the whole thing in my Storefront.

However, some ready-to-use options:

• ZICOTO Reading Journal
• Kunitsa Co. Reading Journal
• SIMSIMY Reading Journal
• Mindmellow Reading Journal

Books for Bookworms

Now, if you want my top selections for the best books of all time, I’ve got you covered. However, there are some more recent or popular books that make great picks. (My tastes can be…unique sometimes.)

• Run by Blake Crouch – This was his first self-published novel that got re-released in October. When I tell you I was stressed from the very beginning…it was so good.
• Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller – This is a very important book, and definitely appeals to a wide variety of readers.
• Lenny Marks Gets Away with Murder by Kerryn Mayne – This one was so fun and unexpected. Good for lovers of thrillers and “fluff” reads too.
• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens – I haven’t come across anyone who thought this wasn’t a fantastic book.
• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
• Anxious People by Fredrik Backman – Honestly, I’ve heard that all of Fredrick Backman is good.
• Untamed by Glennon Doyle
