“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” –The Philosopher’s Stone
With Christmas just over a month away, it’s time to start thinking about gifts.
No no, I’m not saying that you need to get out and shop yet, but you need to start planning. Especially if you’re looking to buy something handmade for that special someone this year. Some of these wonderful gift ideas take a few weeks processing time and it will get worse as we get closer to Christmas, so you might want to place that order soon!
I compiled a list of some of my favorite book-ish goods that I’ve found all over and thought you may like as well!
Candles are incredibly popular this year and seem to be on the rise, especially in the amount of shops that are out there! So I pulled a few together that make some wonderful products! Some of them do have discount codes but they change with time. You can access them if you check out these wonderful stores Instagram pages or send me an
email/tweet and I’ll find one for you (you can get between 5-20% off an order!)
Candles by Wick and Fable
A Court of Candles – very well priced candles with a wonderful array of fandoms!
Wick and Fable – I’ve ordered from them before and love their products!
Canterbury Road Co – The candles come gorgeously wrapped!
Spidey Scents Candles – 100% soy candles!
I mean if you’re a book lover, you’re bound to need some nice bookmarks, right? Here are a few places to check out!
Emies Nook – Jewelry!
Book Lovers Coffee – It’s coffee….so it’s a no brainer!
Magical Tea – TEA!

Finding a book related goodie for your book lover can be quite difficult because it’s hard to find something that they may enjoy. But after a lot of reading, and thinking what I would like as a book-lover I came up with a small, and quite inexpensive, gift list!

1. Out of Print Banned Book Mug
From Amazon.com
What is better than a mug, because all of us readers LOVE tea or coffee while we are reading (or hot chocolate during the winter) so why not get us a mug that is book related.

2. Shakespeare Socks
From Amazon.com
All of us readers love wearing socks because they keep our feet warm as we’re curled up with our noses buried in a book. And what’s better than having the Bard himself on our socks? Maybe reading one of his works?

3. Telephone Box Themed Book Ends
From Amazon.com
With all of the books us book lovers have, we needs something to keep them standing upright, otherwise they’re going to be spilling all over. With different colors to choose from, these English Telephone Box Themed Book Ends are sure to please!

4. Book Lover Street Sign
From Amazon.com
If the book lover in your life has a special place where they read, instead of having it unmarked so uninvited guests may walk in, get them a sign which shows that this room is theirs and that what is beyond that door is magical.

5. Book Themed Clock for Keychain
From Amazon.com
Sometimes when we read we loose track of time. So what better thing then a mini clock which is book themed? Love it!

6. Book Light
From Amazon.com
Now this is useful to have. Sometimes we like to stay up late and sneak in a few more pages, or read next to your partner while they sleep, so having a small light is very convenient to finish that chapter…or book.

7. Book Lover Magnetic Poetry
From Amazon.com
This bring everyone back to their childhood. Now adults can make poetry on their fridge while they’re waiting for their tea to brew so they can finish the newest book.
[amazon template=add to cart&asin=1932289046]
8. The Book Lovers Journal
From Amazon.com
Now this is one of my favorite gifts. I may even get this for myself because it helps you record what you’ve read and your opinions on the book and if you liked it or not. For yourself or maybe for your child one day to know your favorite books when you were younger. Definitely one to add to your list.

9. Aiblophibia Sweatshirt/T-Shirt
From Amazon.com
Now this is cute! It comes as a sweatshirt or a t-shirt, but I love the sweatshirt as reading in comfy sweatshirts are amazing. And this word so is most readers – the fear of running out of books to read.

10. Leather Journal
From Amazon.com
Readers generally like to write as well and having an ancient looking leather journal is fantastic. With the blank pages you can either write or draw within the book and feel like your living in the wild or some fantasy world with the leather casing.
A little pricey but these types of journals are of excellent quality and sure to last years!
