Tis the season — 2021 gift guide season that is! Today’s gift guide is all about gifts for book lovers on Amazon!
I’ve done some book lover gift guides before but I always get requests for more presents that you can get last minute and quickly so I thought I’d do a whole post on book lover gifts on Amazon!
I know sometimes I need to utilize that Prime subscription I have and I love how quickly I can get gifts when I’m running a bit behind or I thought of something else I wanted to add to my gift!
So let’s explore some gift ideas for book lovers on Amazon that I found and think would make great gifts:

GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS ON AMAZON
I realized a couple years ago that there a quite a bit of literary gifts on Amazon when I was looking for some extra things for the bookish Secret Santa I run every year. I’ve broken them up by type to make it easier to peruse what you thing your resident bibliophile might be into. I’m always updating this guide to be sure to save it for any time of the year!
Sort Of Obvious (But Maybe Not) Gifts For Books Lovers On Amazon
Okay so maybe these are the most obvious gifts for readers on Amazon but I would feel remiss not reminding you of what good gifts they make. And maybe you are like REALLY lost on the ways of readers and these things ARE new to you. That’s what I’m here for…to help you and to make your bookworm happy.
1. A new Kindle:
Is your bookworm an e-book lover and in need of an upgrade to their Kindle? The new Kindle is fantastic!
2. Kindle Unlimited:
If your bookworm loves to read on their Kindle, why not gift them a subscription to Kindle Unlimited? I think it depends on what your giftee likes to read but I always have found enough to justify having a subscription. You can check out my review of Kindle Unlimited and who I think would enjoy it!
3. Audible Subscription:
I love listening to audiobooks so much and these services can be pricey. I feel like it’s TOTALLY something I would LOVE to be gifted because it’s a luxury to me. Audiobooks have been perfect for the gym, long commutes and even when I’m just doing easy tasks like folding laundry.
Plus you get two free audiobooks when you try it! I LIKE FREE! Audible is just one of my favorite gifts for readers on Amazon because it they can still pick out the books they want to read with their credits from their membership. If your bookworm would read all day if they could, gift them the ability to be able to (almost) do that.
(Full disclosure: My audiobook service of choice these days is personally Libro.Fm (I love their mission and what they stand for) but I loved when I was first gifted and had Audible for years — gave me so much more of a selection than my library app and it’s more well known for most people)
4. Prime Book Box:
Have little bookworms on your list? The Prime Book Box will be such fun mail for them to get! Good age ranges for the box and a few ways to customize it if you are looking for a gift for a kid who loves books! I am adding this to Riley’s Christmas list for this year again because nobody got my hint last year! Check out my guide to the best book subscription boxes for little kids.

5. Gift Idea: A Literary Tote Bag
One of the many great gifts for book lovers on Amazon that I don’t think any bookworm would pass up are literary totes! Great for carrying all those books after you buy them/borrow them/bring them to a gathering to share (what…. you don’t do that??).
I LOVE the Out of Print totes so much! This one is my favorite though.
Other ideas:
As I said above, my favorite totes are the Out of Print literary totes (and the Kate Spade one!!) and I’ve added a bunch of them in here! Great designs, great quality.

6. Any of the Out Of Print socks
Honestly Amazon has so many options when it comes to literary-themed socks so definitely peruse through them.
Other literary socks:
7. This nifty little thing to hold your book in the bath
Give your bookworm the gift of relaxation and no fear of dropping their book in the bath with this great bamboo bath tray! Book, glass of wine and some bubbles…you won’t see them for a while!
8. This Bibliophile puzzle
I most definitely bought this one in quarantine — highly recommend it. Watch out for that white space though haha.
9. Gift Idea: This book lover necklace
OTHER IDEAS:
10. Gift Idea: This bibliophile bracelet
Perfect for librarians & other readers!
Other Ideas:
11. This adorable Jane Mount book vase
I am in love with these vases but most of them are no longer sold — scoop this one up while it is still available! I hope she will produce more of these because they are adorable and make great unique gifts for readers!
12. These fuzzy socks in a cute cupcake package
What a cute little gift idea for book lovers — especially a book club gift! You can’t go wrong with fuzzy socks!

18. A unique bookmark
Amazon has some really unique bookmarks that the bibliophile in your life probably doesn’t have!
19. Something for their wall
20. A book sleeve to keep their books protected
If your literature lover is one to throw their books in their purse haphazardly and go (me, it’s me) get them this book sleeve to help protect their book and keep it pristine!
21. A stylish decorative pillow for their favorite reading spot
My favorite reading spot is covered in blankets and pillows and these would be the perfect addition for the person on your list who loves book!
22. A book inspired tee
Other options:
23. This useful page holder
If you a reader, YOU KNOW the pains of trying to keep your book open. Maybe you want to have a drink or a snack at the same time? Maybe you have a kid running around who might need you for various things? Have a free hand with this page holder so you can read with one hand!
If you are looking for Harry Potter Christmas decorations I’ve got you!
These are just a handful of the many literary gifts on Amazon for 2021 that I found! Use that Prime subscription and spread the cheer to the book lover’s in your life. You can also find all my selections for the best books of 2020 on Amazon to go along with any of these bibliophile gifts!
