10 brilliant gifts for book lovers
Feb 27In celebration of World Book Day this week, we’ve scoured the shelves and found these 10 brilliant gifts for book lovers. From beautifully embroidered book covers to a book puzzle, these gorgeous gifts will be sure to delight any and every book lover, no matter the occasion!
The obvious gift to get book lovers is of course…books! But speaking from experience, we know it’s virtually impossible to decipher what a book lover has already read, unless they’re pretty efficient at updating their GoodReads, and if it’s on the huge TBR (to be read) pile so these brilliant gifts for book lovers won’t go a miss!
10 brilliant gifts for book lovers
1. A bookshop scented candle
There’s nothing like the smell of a musky bookshop!

Crafted to smell just like a bookshop, this candle is a must-have for a reading nook, lighting up any cosy corner.
2. A book cover
There are different types of readers in this world, the ones who love an aged, curly paged book and then there are those who’ll go to extreme lengths to keep a book looking brand-new, even after finishing it. If you’re after gifts for book lovers for the latter, this beautifully embroidered book cover is a great way to look after a book, especially when on the go!
3. A book lover’s mug
