Christmas Gift Ideas - The Book Lover

by JM

bookmarks.jpgThanksgiving (for those in the States) is over, and now it’s time to start thinking about Christmas (if you haven’t already started). Buying gifts for the people in your life – especially the people who seem to ‘have everything’ can be stressful and confusing.

Will he like a golf mug? Will she like this brand of perfume?

It can be a nightmare if you let it. (By the way, don’t buy a woman perfume unless you know for sure it’s the kind she wears. Smells can be very personal. Even candles can be iffy if they have strong scents.)

I am here to save the day! Well, kind of. If you have someone who loves books and loves to read, I have a few suggestions to get you started on your Christmas shopping journey.

Where do you start for the book lover in your life?

marblebookends.jpgBook ends, of course! JustBookEnds.com offers a wide range of awesome and creative book ends. From the natural marble block book ends to book ends that look like, well, books, you can likely find something the book lover in your life will love.

Levenger.com’s tagline is “Tools for Serious Readers�. If you can’t find something at this site that you think your book lover will love, then you’re in trouble. This site offers reading tools, tote bags, desk accessories, and much more. The items at this site look great. (Be warned that for those great looks and options, things are a bit pricey.)

lustcover.gifTheLibraryShop.org has a little bit of everything – and a sale section. Like Levengers, there is a lot to look at – even more than at Levengers – so you are going to find something the book lover in your life will like. The price range is great so you can find something nice for little and also have the opportunity to splurge a bit. On top of all that, you can by gift certificates in the event you just can’t decide.

Those are three great sites to get ideas if not actual presents for the book lover in your life.

Be sure to check out my list of things to buy for the writer in your life on Fiction Scribe, and some general guy/gal suggestions on Long Relationships!
