We all have that one person in our lives who always has her (or his) nose in a book. However, giving them yet another book to read is not a very unique idea. Besides, they may have already read the book you wanted to give them.
So, what do you EXACTLY give a book lover other than a book?
Luckily for you, I have compiled a list of some of the most useful, unique, and adorable gifts for book lovers that aren't books!
19 Perfect Gifts for Book Lovers
This list includes everything from luxury gifts for book lovers to inexpensive gifts for book lovers to personalized gifts for readers to warm Christmas gifts for book lovers. So, let’s jump into it!
1. Compact Rechargeable Book Light
This Rechargeable Book Light is the perfect tool for nighttime readers to help them read comfortably in the dark.
Along with an excellent battery life that charges rapidly, it features five brightness levels and three color modes (including blue light for better eye care). It is helpful in many ways, whether reading in bed next to a sleeping partner, on road trips, camping, or on a dark flight.
It clips onto the book perfectly, stays out of the way when turning pages, and provides a comfortable reading experience. In addition, the light turns 90 degrees to the right or left and 45 degrees downward.
Above all, this little book light is easier to carry around and makes a great stocking stuffer.

This well-designed Multipurpose Book Stand is ideal for a more pleasant and comfortable reading experience. Being made up of bamboo and soft cushion, it is sturdy enough but also lightweight. Since it comes with a handle, it is easily portable too.
Above all, it is compatible with books of all sizes; and even small to medium-sized laptops, making it a nice gift for adults, kids, and the elderly.
3. Lazy Reading Prism Glasses
These Lazy Reading Glasses are perfect for those who like to read while lying in bed. Works well for reading or watching TV on the back without bending the neck in uncomfortable positions, which also helps prevent neck pain. In addition, these prism glasses can be worn over your ordinary prescription glasses.
4. Neck Reading Light
Since most people prefer reading in bed, I have mentioned quite a few tools in this list that make the experience of reading in bed pleasurable, including this Neck Reading Light.
It is a uniquely designed reading light to help the bookworm read all night without disturbing anyone else sleeping beside them.
Apart from being rechargeable, it comes with a bendable and portable design; and three colors and brightness levels that are eye-friendly. Moreover, it is multifunctional and can be used for other activities like walking at night, crocheting, etc.
5. A Charming Bookmark
This Metal Feather Bookmark with a 3D metal butterfly pendant and dried flower glass bead charm looks so adorable to gift a loved one. It is well-made to nicely stay in place when placed in a book and looks very charming hanging out of it. Above all, this dainty bookmark is handmade and comes in neat packaging for gift-giving.
6. Magnetic Bookmarks
You can never have too many bookmarks. And even if you do, they keep missing! So, here is a Set of 12 Magnetic Bookmarks for those who read multiple books at once.
Since they are made of paper and soft magnets, the chances of losing them are rare. Furthermore, these come in exquisite pattern floral designs, making them perfect book club gifts for women.
Plus, the front and back sides (of these magnets) are distinguishable (which is an issue with most other magnetic bookmarks).
7. Book Darts
These Book Darts (125-Pieces) make great line markers and are perfect little things for PRO readers who like to mark certain lines and quotes in a book to reflect back on. Besides, these are incredibly thin, well-designed, and convenient to use.

This adorable V-Shaped Book Page Holder allows you to hold your book with one hand and read comfortably.

9. Personal Library Kit
A fun and creative gift like this Personal Library Kit will surely remind your bookworm friend of the old-fashioned library circulation practices. It will prove helpful for bibliophiles to keep track of borrowed books from their personal collections.
10. Folding Mood Light
This Folding Mood Light makes a unique gift to bring a smile to the face of the recipient. It is more of a decorative piece of art that would look super aesthetic placed on a bookshelf alongside other books or on a desk.
Since the foldable book lamp seems like an old book with a faux wooden cover (when closed), it can be formed as a circle or half circle when opened. Ultimately making it a flexible lighting solution for the user. It has three color options ranging from white to warm.
Most importantly, it is rechargeable. So, no batteries and no wires hanging here and there!
11. Vintage Library Stickers
Library stickers may not be the finest gift; unless you got a book-loving buddy who is into journaling or scrapbooking! This Vintage Scrapbook Kit has a good collection of stationery scrapbook paper and stickers with a vintage-inspired look and feel.
Moreover, these come with cute little vintage packaging, making a perfect gift for crafters to decorate their personal belongings.
12. DND Box Sign
Here is a funny decor accessory for an avid reader who likes to read in silence. This wooden I'm Reading Box Sign with a distressed look is designed to freely stand on its own or hang on the wall. The little sign would make a perfect addition to any bookshelf, whether at home or office.
13. Personalized Embosser Stamp
A Library Book Embosser Stamp makes one of the best-personalized gifts for readers who cherish their collection of books a lot.
For gifting purposes, you can order any library customized design to suit the taste of your loved one. Besides, the tool is easy to use, compact in size (and comes with a pouch to keep it secure).
14. Decorative Bookends
Since they are both aesthetic and functional, bookends are one of the best gifts for book lovers. You can go all the way to get decorative bookends that match the taste of your bookworm friend. However, this Modern Girl Bookend Set with a sleek and elegant design should work for most women.

17. The Book Seat
This is another innovative book holder, The Book Seat (which is like a book pillow), that lets you read comfortably without holding the book in your hand. It makes a cozy gift for avid readers to help them read for long hours.
In addition, it works with most tablet devices, making it a multipurpose tool.
18. Book Lovers Gifts Box
Since gift baskets and kits are popular these days, I had to mention a well-curated Book Lovers Gifts Box in this list. This box contains a great selection of literary gifts. It includes a printed tote bag, comfy printed socks, a wooden page holder, a mini sign which reads "Shhhh I'm reading", and a pointer bookmark. It will surely make an unforgettable and one of the best luxury gifts for book lovers.
