Fantastic Gifts For Book Lovers On Amazon In 2023

A new Kindle:

Is your bookworm an e-book lover and in need of an upgrade to their Kindle? The new Kindle is fantastic!

A Kindle Unlimited subscription:

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!

For the audiobook lover — an 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)

For little ones — 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.

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! They have so many other great ones here but this one is my favorite. They are nice and sturdy which I appreciate for lugging my books back and forth from the library.
 

  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.

A reading journal to keep track of all their reads

I love my reading journal and the layout is similar to this one (mine isn’t from Amazon so doesn’t fit the “gifts for book lovers from” Amazon theme).

I love being able to keep track of what I’m reading and my feelings. Always fun to look back at them and readers always geek out about stuff like this.

Other book journal gift ideas:

Check out my list of favorite reading journals in general (not just from Amazon).

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!

I promise you, add these Ouai “Chill Pill” bath bombs with this gift and this is THE perfect gift for a reader. Seriously, relaxing with a book is the most crucial part of de-stressing for me.

This cute bibliophile puzzle

 I bought a similar one from this brand in 2020 when we were at home and I’d recommend it but the white spaces were KILLER on that one. I have purchased this one but haven’t done it yet but I’d likely recommend this one over the one I bought if you don’t want to pull your hair out.

But there is nothing more that I enjoy than listening to an audiobook, sipping some tea and working on a puzzle on a cold winter day and I highly recommend this as a cute and different gift for a bibliophile.

A practical & useful gift — The Book Seat

This was one of those things I saw for the first time and thought “immediately no, who really needs one of these?” Then I had a friend start raving about it and naturally it piqued my interest and now I can’t tell you how much this is a great gift idea for the reader in your life.

I got it after hurting my back and needed to be better about my reading positions and I love being able to get more comfortable positions for reading sessions plus a little hands free action with this pillow and the page holder feature. It even holds some of my bigger fantasy tomes comfortably which has been a huge game-changer.

A great, practical gift idea for a book lover that will give them the gift of even more comfortable and cozy reading time!

A cute book lover ornament

Add a bibliophile touch to their Christmas celebration — a great gift for a reader/book lover!

Other Ideas:

A super unique bookmark

Amazon has some really unique bookmarks that the bibliophile in your life probably doesn’t have and will become their go-to bookmark.

Other options:

A cute book lover charm necklace

OTHER IDEAS:

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!

Or one of these new vases inspired by classics

These are new-to-me this year in my quest to find more of these types of vases! The Pride and Prejudice one is my favorite but I also love The Great Gatsby one, too!

A book sleeve to keep their books protected

If the reader in your life 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!

Just make sure you check out the dimensions as most brands have different sizes –ie some smaller ones to fit mass market paperbacks all the way up to larger ones for big hardcover fantasy tomes — and will often say which sizes fit what types of books.

I always try to think about what they read a lot of when I gift these but a safe bet is always the medium type size because they will generally fit your typical sized book.

Other options to check out:

The best book light known to man so they can read in bed:

I had the same book light style for years (honestly the same actual one that kept going for the longest time) but I am a convert to these neck ones recently!!! This is such a useful gift and goes pared great as a gift with a few other bookworm essential items like — cute bookmarks, a new book, etc.

A literary candle to set the mood while they read:

Nothing like setting the (reading) mood with a literary candle!

I have bought and used this company’s candles for years (first found them on Etsy and where I purchase them so I can’t speak to buying them directly off Amazon!) and I highly recommend these candles!

Some bookish socks:

Honestly Amazon has so many options when it comes to literary-themed socks so definitely peruse through them.

Other literary socks:

This Jane Mount wall calendar

I love this Jane Mount wall calendar for 2024 especially as this one in collaboration with a bookstagrammer I love!

These bookish cute notecards to send some snail mail:

Another Jane Mount hit in these gorgeous notecards! I went through a lot of these over the year sending book mail to friends putting a little note in each package.

This cute personalized book stamp set for your books

Super cute and customizable — a really unique gift for a reader and book lover!

These unique book earrings:

This stylish and cute book purse (other options, too!):

I’m an Anne girlie so this is my favorite but there are a few more options. A really thoughtful and unique book lover gift on Amazon!

Any of these bookish mugs:

Books + a hot beverage = one of the coziest reader faves.

One of these cute wine glasses

And if we aren’t drinking coffee or tea while reading — it’s probably wine (definitely me, okay).

Something to hang on their wall

I was gifted one of these many years ago and I can’t tell you how many of this type of upcycled prints I’ve bought as gifts over the years for other book lovers! I normally buy them off Etsy but I’m glad to find a great option for book lovers on Amazon!

Other options:

A cozy blanket/throw to curl up with while reading

Whether you go with a more book-themed gift option for this or just a REALLY great giftable cozy blanket, it’s up to you! But curling up with a cozy blanket and a good book is a position you’ll find any reader in often. Add a gift card to a bookstore and one of these cute cozy blankets for a really cozy book lover gift!

If you want to just go with a non-book themed cozy blanket, I have a few of these and LOVE them. Honestly one of my primary reading blankets!

If you want one with bookish flare, this fleece one is a nice option:

A book inspired tee

Other options:

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!
