10 AWESOME BOOKISH GIFTS FOR VALENTINES DAY
GET YOUR BOOK LOVING PARTNER THE PERFECT GIFT
What do you normally get the book lover in your life? Let me guess… a book. Did you know that us readers love things other than books? Like book merch!
I personally LOVE getting gifts of things relating to books. Some of my favorites are candles, jewelry, stickers, mugs, and hoodies.
If you are having trouble finding the book lover in your life a great Valentine’s Day gift, keep scrolling to find new and interesting ideas. These top picks range from just a couple of dollars to a few hundred dollars. No matter what your budget is, you’ll be able to find something impressive and very bookish.
This t-shirt that says “The Book Is Always Better” may not be entirely true, but it’s still cute.
There are a variety of sizes available for both men and women. And it comes in black, which matches everything!
Now, we can’t move on without making one thing clear – the book is NOT always better. In fact, here are a couple of examples where the movie can’t be beaten!
- Crazy Rich Asians
- Harry Potter (debatable amongst the bookish community)
- Jaws
- The Princess Diaries
- The Devil Wears Prada
- Forrest Gump
- Pitch Perfect
Candles make EVERYONE happy, especially book lovers! They really help set the vibe to match the book that you are reading.
They also make really great decorations for bookshelves and look amazing in bookish social media posts!
This #teamedward candle does not actually smell like diamonds in the sun, but it is equally delicious!
Who doesn’t love a funny bookish bookmark? This one says “TAMLIN YOU STUPID BITCH“, and I can’t think of anything that is so accurate.
ACOTAR is an acronym for the book by Sarah J. Maas, A Court Of Thornes And Roses.
Tamlin is a main character in the first book and Feyre’s love interest. I won’t give you any spoilers, just in case you haven’t yet read the book, but Tamlin makes some pretty stupid choices in the second book, A Court Of Mist and Fury.
If you have read the second book in this series then you know exactly why this bookmark is so perfect.
This “GO AWAY I’M READING” sign is the perfect decor for introverted book lovers.
It can be hung on a wall or placed on a bookshelf. As far as book ideas go, this one can’t be beat!
Another great idea for this bookish sign is to put it in a classroom or school library. The loner, book-obsessed students will LOVE it! And maybe the extraverts will actually stay away … Here’s hoping.
A keychain to clearly tell everyone how I’m feeling? Yes, please!
This one says “If I can’t take my BOOK, I’m not going“.
No other sentiment expresses how I feel every day more than this keychain. Thankfully, I have Wattpad and Kindle, so I always have easy access to hundreds of books!
Every book nook needs a comfy pillow…or two… or a BUNCH! And you can’t just have any random ol’ pillow.
A book nook is a very personal space. It is a corner curated for escape, comfort, and reading. This “just one more chapter” pillow encompasses everything that bookworms live for and is also a neutral color, so it matches almost all color schemes!

This bookish tote bag from Kate Spade is PERFECT for carrying books.
It is so hard to walk into a library and have to carry out a stack of books in your arms. This tote is perfect to bring to the library.
Book lovers plan on only getting one or two books, but in reality, we end up leaving with at least a few.
Fun fact: The most I have ever taken out from the library at one time is 23 books. It took me about two weeks to read all of them during summer break in high school.
Have you ever met a book lover that doesn’t love Alice in Wonderland?
The answer is no.
Any Alice In Wonderland merch, like this Wall Poster, is great for even the pickiest of readers.
This ICONIC quote, “We’re All Quite Mad Here, You’ll fit Right In” is from the original book by Lewis Carroll. The Mad Hatter is a character that is strange, yet very relatable.
The Secret Garden Book Nook Kit – a gift created for DIY people who also love to read.
It comes with everything you need,, except batteries for the little fairy lights.
This DIY book nook kit is like a 3D puzzle, but you have control over the finished product. What you build may not look exactly like what you see in this photo, which means you have the freedom to create an original art piece just for you and your bookshelf!
For the Pottermores, a Hogwarts Handbag to rival all other handbags.
Need I say more?
It is a deep burgundy color and very sturdy. Did you notice the cute Hedwig charm on the side? Its my favorite part!
WHAT ELSE DO BOOK LOVERS LIKE, BESIDES BOOKS?
T-SHIRTS!
Amazon has a super cool Harry Potter t-shirt subscription, where you get a new Wizarding World shirt every month. It’s the gift that never ends!
PAINTED BOOKS!
One of the coolest things about the bookish community is the ART! These book paintings are from my favorite artist – Whitney. Click HERE to see her Etsy shop. She can paint any book, with any character, location, etc. Send her a message, because she does accept commission pieces!
