Gift for Book Lover

6 replies

Buffyj · 05/06/2023 21:56

I have a very lovely colleague who loves reading in her personal time. She reads 2-3 books a week and often passes on ones she thinks I'd like to me when she's finished. She's given me so many I don't think I've bought a book in almost 2 years!

She has a significant birthday coming up and I'd like to get her a gift to say thank you as well as Happy Birthday. I want it to be book/reading related but feel a book token is too generic and impersonal. What would you get for the book lovers in your life? My budget is around £50.

Thanks.

I’m a book lover and would not want something ‘book related’, I would want a book! A voucher would be very welcome but if you really want something different how about:

Tickets for a local literary festival if there is one near you. https://theglossarymagazine.com/arts-culture/uk-literary-festivals-2023/

A really nice edition of a favourite classic in hardback https://beautifulbooks.info/illustratedbibliographies/classic-fiction/

There are some bookshops that post out a book a month once they know the person's usual taste. My dd..an avid reader got that as a present and said best present ever. Her one also included some chocolates each time which was a nice bonus.

Yes a book subscription, you should get around three months for that.
Or what about the shortlisted books for a prize eg The Women's Prize ?

Definitely a book subscription or some special editions. If they like fantasy fairyloot, illumicrate and the broken binding are uk based so no obscene shipping, illumicrate also do romance books.

Plenty on waterstones too, sprayed edges and signed are the most desirable
