The Perfect Gift Ideas for Your Book Bestie, Based on Her Aesthetic
If you’ve ever tried shopping for a book lover, you already know it’s a whole quest. Do they already own that book? Will they side-eye you forever if you pick the wrong edition? Will they mysteriously disappear into a reading nook the second your gift hits their hands? (Yes. Yes, they will.)
So I put together The Book Lover’s Gift Guide—a cozy, curated collection of bookish goodies that readers will actually swoon over. Whether you’re shopping for your bestie, your partner, or, let’s be honest, yourself… you’re about to find something magical. Grab a cup of cocoa and let’s dive in.
If your book bestie is an reader girlie, here are a few things that will make her giggle and kick her feet (just like when the MMC in a romance does the door frame lean):
You can't go wrong with stickers to decorate the back of her kindle! This Delete My Kindle History Sticker is PERFECT for the smut lover in your life. 😉
USB-C Dust Plug Charms keep the ick out of their charge port, while being freaking adorable at the same time!
You could also get her a Kindle crossbody bag to carry her emotional support Kindle with her everywhere she goes! The bags are 5"x7" in size, so you can feel confident that whatever model she has will fit (unless she has a Scribe, in which case she might need a tablet sleeve! lol)!
If she can't sit down to read a book without a caffeinated beverage (coffee, tea, the like), you could get her something that speaks to her bookish and her coffee-addicted side!
Books & Brews: A Coffee Lover's Coloring Book is the perfect homage to everything caffeine- and reading-related. Get her a homemade mocha mix and this coloring book, and she'll be set for weeks.
If she has an e-reader, you could also get her an illustrated kindle insert with her two favorite things on it, or some coffee themed stickers to put on the back.
If she's more "haunted library" and "touch my books and you die," Ivy & Inkwells: A Dark Academia Coloring Book could be the perfect choice for her! It's full of witchiness, tarot cards, and classic literature vibes.
You can't go wrong with getting her an actual book, BUT which one does she want?! Take the guesswork out by choosing her favorite genre and letting me do the rest with Blind Date with a Book! Plus, you get some adorable stationery accessories to go with it, and it comes all wrapped! Easiest. Gift. Ever.
While I'm talking about those friends who just love the feel of a real book in their hands (and the SMELL. Like heaven, right??), bookmarks are △⃒⃘lways a perfect gift! Magnetic or traditional, my bookmarks are durable, compact, and a-freaking-dorable!
If your girl is a Cozy Queen (i.e. her reading nook is the PINNACLE of soft and comfy, and she loves to rewatch Friends, The Office, and Gilmore Girls), The Cozy Nostalgia Coloring Book could be the perfect gift for her! It's full of those sweet sweet memories of being a book girl in the Y2K era, and it will give her all the warm fuzzies.
Speaking of coziness, if your shopping for that reader that would rather be in bed with her kindle, or curled up in an armchair, another incredible gift idea for her is a velvet-soft throw blanket featuring her favorite fandom or genre (like the Dark Romance pattern shown here!)
If your book bestie is a sourdough-baking, chicken-raising, wildflower-meadow kind of girly, then you NEED to get her Sourdough & Sunbeams: The Cottagecore Coloring Book.
If she wants to take that woodland creature vibe with her everywhere she goes, a cute bow magnetic bookmark, sticker featuring some pretty pink flowers, or a set of super cute & pastoral kindle inserts are definitely the right choice!
If the person you're shopping for is more of a dragon rider, and would rather read about shadow wielders than rom coms, you're going to want to go with Swords & Suitors: A Romantasy Coloring Book! It's full of the things that romantasy fans love most: knights, sirens, magical castles, and handsome fae warriors.
Honestly, my shop is choc full of gifts for romantasy fans, from licensed merch (think SJM, Zodiac Academy, etc), to swords, daggers, and dragons.
For the ghostie girlies who celebrate spooky season all year long, I suggest you get her Ghosts & Grimoires: A Spooky Cute Coloring Book! I also have an entire collection full of spooky adorable items that stays in the shop ALL YEAR ROUND, because it's △⃒⃘lways halloween in my soul. 💀
And, of course, if you're shopping for the kind of girly that loves both gardening and reading, or if she likes plants better than people, I think she would love Pixies & Petals: The Fairy Garden Coloring Book.
TBH, most of my art has flowers and plants incorporated into it in some way! You don't have to go far in my shop to find something your nature-lover would be obsessed with!
And finally, we can't forget about the Twilight girlies! Most of us rode the Twilight-to-Faerie-Smut pipeline, so why not pay homage to the era of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob with a sparkly vampire themed gift?
