Wondering What To Gift A Bookworm This Holiday Season That Isn’t Just Another Novel? Here Are The Top Tools And Accessories An Avid Reader Would Have On Their Wishlist
Do you know someone in your life who’s an avid reader, and you’re feeling pressured to get them a holiday gift this year that’s not yet another book?
When someone close to you loves to read, the most common gift idea you may have had in the past would be to get them another book to add to their collection.
While that’s a sweet gesture, you can never really know what books that person really wants to read unless they flat-out tell you, and chances are, if they really are an avid reader, they already have the next two to three books they want to read lined up and ready to go.
So, instead of frantically searching the aisles of Barnes and Noble for another book to get your favorite reader, here are some other cute, reading-related gifts you could get them instead!
A good quality pencil case
While a pencil kit may sound a bit nerdy, if you have a friend who loves to annotate their books, it’s an awesome present to get them. Look for good quality bag brands that make pencil kits that can fit pencils and pens, highlighters, bookmarks, sticky notes, etc. This way, your friend can keep all their reading materials together and organized!
By the way, these EASTHILL pencil cases have great reviews and are reasonably priced.
A crochet bookmark
While your reader friend probably has a decent amount of bookmarks, a really cute and personal gift would be a crochet bookmark that represents or is related to their interests! For instance, if they love flowers, tons of vendors online sell floral crochet bookmarks that are adorable.

Not only will this gift provide them with a new way to mark their pages, but it’ll make them think of you! A lot of small businesses sell homemade crochet bookmarks on Etsy.
Blue light glasses
If you know someone who prefers to read on their electronic devices like Kindles or iPads, get them some blue light glasses. As most of us know, staring too long at a screen can hurt the eyes, mostly because of the blue light that radiates from them. So, getting your technology-reliant reader friend some cute blue light glasses is a great gift that shows them you care about their well-being!
Even if they already have one pair of blue light glasses, having a backup pair or a pair you can travel with is not a bad thing.
Noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset
This is a great gift for audiobook lovers in your life! If you’ve heard your loved one talk non-stop about how they love to listen to audiobooks on walks or while taking the train, you should gift them a nice Bluetooth headset.
Even if your friend has a go-to pair of Airpods, a headset is cozier and a bit more sturdy, making it great for traveling and commuting. You get bonus points if you can find one that’s noise-cancelling!
A reading journal
If you have loved ones who enjoy posting or giving you little personal reviews of a book they read recently, you should get them a reading journal! Reading journals are for writing down each book you’ve read, when you read it, what you’d rate it, and what you thought about it.
They’re great for those who are really sentimental about their reading time and can be found on websites like Etsy.
Hopefully, if you have to get a gift for a reader in your life, you’ll have some better ideas on how to make their holidays even better. Happy shopping!
