Father’s Day is around the corner, and for the dad who loves to get lost in a good book, finding the perfect present can present a few options. Look no further than this list of bookish delights to make Dad’s literary mind be fostered
-
A Classic He’s Been Meaning to Read:
Maybe Dad’s bookshelf has gaps. Surprise him with a captivating novel he’s been meaning to get to. If he enjoys historical fiction, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is a mind-bending masterpiece that weaves stories across time. Or maybe he loves different editions, there’s lot of gorgeous classic editions out there!
-
A New Release in His Favorite Genre:
Is your dad a mystery buff, a sci-fi fanatic, or a history buff? There’s a new release out there waiting to be devoured. Check out online review sites or bookstores for recommendations in his favorite genre. Consider a captivating novel like The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, a science fiction epic about an alien invasion that recently inspired a hit Netflix series.
-
A Signed Copy by His Favorite Author:
For the ultimate fan, a signed first edition or copy by Dad’s favorite author is a treasure. Independent bookstores often host author signings, or you might find signed copies online from reputable sellers! Amazon does surprisingly sell some, or places like eBay may hold them too.
-
A Book About His Hobby:
Does Dad love tinkering in the garage or whipping up culinary delights? There’s a book for that! Find a title that caters to his specific interests, like a beautifully illustrated guide to woodworking or a new cookbook featuring his favorite cuisine.
-
A Subscription Box for Bookworms:
The gift that keeps on giving! Subscription boxes deliver a curated selection of books to Dad’s doorstep every month. Many services offer customizations based on genre preferences.
-
A Personalized Book About Dad:
Show Dad how much he means to you with a one-of-a-kind gift. Companies like Letterfest create personalized children’s books starring Dad and his kids – a heartwarming and unique present. I know I have one from when I was a child that was made for me and I think it’s the coolest thing to read a book with my name in it!
-
An E-reader with All the Comforts of Home:
For the dad who loves to read but is short on space, an e-reader is a fantastic option. Many e-readers offer features like adjustable font size and a built-in night light for comfortable reading in any environment. You could get the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite or the Amazon Fire HD 8 for some well priced options. I know I love mine and it has been super convenient as a reader on the go.
-
A Stylish Book Sleeve or Bookmark:
Book accessories are a thoughtful extra touch. A leather book sleeve protects Dad’s favorite novels on the go, while a unique bookmark keeps his place in style.
-
A Cozy Reading Nook Upgrade:
Does Dad have a favorite reading spot? Spruce it up with a comfy throw blanket, a new reading lamp for better light, or a small side table to hold his coffee and reading glasses. You also can’t go wrong with a mug warmer – I don’t know about you but the times I’m sucked into reading and my drink goes cold is embarrassing.
With a little thoughtfulness, you can find the perfect bookish gift that Dad will cherish. After all, the best gifts come from the heart (and maybe a trip to the bookstore)!
Happy Reading!
