Gifts for book lovers: These 11 ideas are perfect for book lovers
The golden rule when giving gifts: don't think about your own past life, but rather what the person receiving the gift likes. However, who afor a bookworm who may quickly become desperate. WhichDoes the person like to read, how many unread books are already piled up on their bedside table and which titles might already be in the closet are ultimately questions that you can't necessarily answer, even as a good friend.
These gifts for book lovers make the reading experience even more enjoyable
That's why it's better, simply to the ten thousandthto forego and instead resort to gift ideas that celebrate the passion for reading itself? or make the reading experience even better. GLAMOR editor, and co-author in, has therefore collected 11 gift tips for anyone who wants to give a book lover this Christmas.
1. Flexible reading lamp
Let's be honest: most people come to read? if any ? In the hectic pace of everyday life, it often happens late in the evening. And although we all know the recommendations of ophthalmologists, this often happens when the lighting is too dark. A reading lamp is the perfect solution so that you don't have to miss out on the cozy light while reading (because who wants to turn on the ceiling lamp in hygge mode!) or strain your eyes. Ideally with warm light and a flexible lamp neck.
2. Buchjournal
People who read a lot often tend to lose track of the books they have devoured. If they are then asked what they can recommend or how they liked one or two books, it can be difficult to remember. Your own book journal helps to record all your reading experiences over the year and offers enough space for impressions, reviews, etc. So it also has nostalgic value, for example when you take out your reading diary from 2025 again years later.
3. ?Booklover?-Tasse
What is a reading session without your favorite hot drink? Whether it's chai latte, coffee or tea, the emotional support drink provides that extra comfort factor. This cup from Thalia creates a winter atmosphere with festive green? and immediately delivers a statement: Books are made hereloved.
4. ?Love Books?-Socken
At least as important as the cup of tea next to the reading chair are the right cozy socks if you want to curl up with a book. These leave no doubt that the person wearing them is a real bookworm, and with their bright colors they also provide a little mood boost in the grey, dreary winter time.
5. Personalized embossing stamp
There are two opposing camps among book lovers: one thinks a book can look used, complete with dog ears and coffee stains? the other would never allow a pencil to come near the object being read, let alone bend the book over the spine. Where the two can perhaps meet in a conciliatory manner is the enthusiasm for a personalized embossing stamp: because it gives every book a personal touch, but in a neat and tidy way? almost library-like? Aesthetics.

6. Book shelf for the bathtub
It's not just the right book that determines successful reading hours, but also the right reading location. While some people swear by reading in bed or in their favorite armchair, there is also Team Bathtub, which upgrades reading to a wellness experience. So that the book doesn't get covered in water stains and you can really relax while reading, you obviously need a bathtub shelf with a bookend.

7. ?Less Everything More Books?-T-Shirt
The message of this t-shirt is clear: ?Less of everything else? read more.? A message that book lovers who keep falling into the social media scrolling trap should remember. The best:are totally trendy again in winter 2024, whether under the blazer, in an XXL version over a long sleeve or simply for yoga.

8. Personalized bookmark
In particular, the party among booklovers who consider dog-earing to be a crime must rely on bookmarks. After all, even the biggest readers read the fewest books in one sitting. Personalized bookmarks with your own name, date of birth, zodiac sign or favorite flower provide a particularly nice touch. And what's nicer than a gift that you can take with you pretty much anywhere?
9. Book lamp
Reading books is great. No question. But: Books are also very aesthetic objects. It's not for nothing that there are countless articles online about the best way to organize your bookshelf, and social media users regularly show their perfectly (sometimes even color) sorted bookshelves under the hashtag #shelfporn. But it's not just the spines of the books that are aesthetic, the pages too? That's apparently what the design team thought behind this book lamp, from which the light streams out like from a magical magic book.
10. Christmas tree pendant in book stack design
Anyone who loves books also likes to surround themselves with them. When strolling through a second hand bookstore, with a local bookshelf? or just in the decoration. At Christmas, there is hardly anything that suits the bookworm better than a Christmas tree pendant that fits the hobby.

11. Mirror glasses for reading while lying down
Laziness has a bad reputation. Wrongfully. Because what's wrong with a really cozy break that's good for your mental health? Of course, this works wonderfully with a book and perhaps even better while lying down. The big but: Reading while lying down never seems really comfortable if you somehow balance the book over your head. The mirror glasses come in handy because with them you can easily read around the corner horizontally and put the book comfortably on your lap. Perhaps the only catch: that reading while lying down might be too comfortable and you'll only manage a few pages before you're whisked away into dreamland.
