10+ Gifts For Young Book Lovers

This is just one of our themed shopping guides to help you out. If you have some more shopping to do, check out our list of Holiday Gift Guides. There are more ideas for gifts for kids, some gifts for adults, and even pets too.

Fun Bookends

I could have filled this list with a dozen bookends because bookends are adorable. I love how decorative yet functional they are.

What’s great about there being so, so many is that you can buy a set to fit in with any room’s décor. And the bookends add a bit of whimsy to the mundane of everyday life.

Honestly, if that’s not a metaphor and definition of exactly what books do, I don’t know what is.

Personalized Bookmarks

If I’m reading a book, I’ll just shove a store receipt or a piece of junk mail in it to hold my page. Because I’m an adult. And adults are boring. Isn’t that what Willy Wonka told Charlie?

But, when I give a book to a kid for a gift, I include personalized bookmarks with it.

They come around for free a couple times a year (and I always update this post with the code and post it on social media), so make sure to follow us to get them for free. If not, they’re super cheap via the link below.

Magnetic Bookmark

Like the idea of bookmarks, but don’t want to design your own? That’s fine. I get it.

Instead, pick up a magnetic bookmark for your young reader. Maybe grab a couple

They’re a fun way to hold your page that’s just not a boring bookmark (and those, honestly, feel old — especially if you’re a kid). You can get ones that are shaped like animals, ones that hold pens, ones that are a riff on Taylor Swift (like the one above), and more.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses

An e-reader is such a smart invention. You can carry multiple books in one device. It’s a lot lighter than carrying a bag full of books when you’re traveling. But, reading full books on an e-reader can really take a toll on your eyes.

That’s why blue light blocking glasses have really gotten popular. Just put on a pair before you start reading and you’ll block the blue light, which cause eyestrain and headaches.

Personalized Books

I am in love with personalized books.

I’ve gotten them for my nieces and nephews and they al love seeing their names and images in the books. It’s such a cute idea.

You can choose from a ton of different book designs, topics, number of characters (so you can add a sibling), and more. They’re really one of my favorite gifts to give.

Book Storage Bin

If your young book lover really loves books, and is really young, there’s a chance that you’ll be reading books before bedtime. And if you’re like any other parents, you want to give your child a limited number of books to choose from before bed.

A book storage bin perfect for that.

Just fill it with the books your child can choose from and leave it in the bedroom. If your child reads on his or her own, you can also use this bin for easy cleanup.

Floating Book Shelf

If your kids have a lot of books, you need to think of the best way to store them. A great way is with a floating book shelf.

They save a lot of space because they’re up off the ground, so they don’t take up any floor space in a kid’s room (which usually doesn’t have a ton of space to begin with).

Book Pillow Stand

Pete has been using a book pillow stand for years. It’s so good.

You just prop it up on your lap and it holds your book for you so you don’t worry about neck strain. Personally, I like putting it on one end of the couch and laying across the couch to read. I’m not sure if that helps my necks at all, but it’s comfortable.

Some have rope to help hold your page, in case you don’t have a bookmark, and others have pockets to easily store the book when you’re not reading.

Book Themed Pens

If your kids are old enough to read, they’re old enough to appreciate these really cute book-themed pens.

There are so many sets to choose from online, so it’ll take you a little time to go through them. But they all have fun book-ish sayings on them, like, “Main Character Energy” and “Just Here For The Plot.”

So, this is a good gift for a reader for when they’re not reading because, you know, homework happens.

Book-Themed Stickers

Books and stickers seem to go hand in hand. Maybe it’s just because I’m thinking of sticker books.

Anyway.

If you can find some book-themed stickers, your book lover will absolutely love them. They might not ever stick them anywhere because, well, that happens with stickers. But still. It’s a fun gift idea.

Bookstore Gift Card

Kids who love to read love going to the bookstore and picking out new books. Sure, books can be ordered online now, but kids love the bookstore.

So, if you can’t think of anything else, grab a bookstore gift card. Not an Amazon card. One for an actual bookstore.

That means, the kid will get to spend time in the bookstore (win) and bring home new books (double win).

Purchase Gifts For Young Book Lovers Online:

Of course, these aren’t all of the gifts for kids who love to read. There are so many more online that you can purchase at the following stores:
