Christmas is around the corner and it’s time for you to play Santa! Picking gifts can be tough especially when it comes to gifting us bookworms and that’s why we bring you a list of 12 bookish gifts you can give your friends. Keep on reading until you find the one!

Scented Candles

Now scented candles might sound like a thoughtless gift idea but not when they are inspired by your friends favorite fictional world! Whether your friends are a fan of GoT or Malgudi days or love collecting books in general, there is something for everyone. My personal favorite is the Bard of Bengal by Booksom which smells like Night Jasmine and inspires me to write on days when I just don’t feel like it. 

Bookish Coasters

We have all ruined some of our favorite books by spilling tea or coffee while being too engrossed in the book so this bookish coaster is a necessity. On top of that, they are quirky, cute and sure to make your Agatha Christie stan friend smile. My favorite is the And Then There Was None- A Booksom Spiller. 

Wreck this Journal

No, literally, artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to participate in “destructive” actions such as punching holes in pages, adding and defacing images, painting with coffee, coloring outside the lines, and more in order to experience the genuine creative process. A weird yet very necessary gift for your budding artist friends!

Jewelry

Nothing says ‘I know you’ better than a pendant containing a favorite quote of your favorite person! These pendants can be customized with your own quote but if you know a The Kite Runner or a Harry Potter fan, you might want to check out these quote pendants!

Christmas Combo

It won’t be a Secret Santa gift ideas list without a Christmas Combo, would it? When in doubt about what to get your bookworm friend, get them a little bit of everything! This combo contains 3 literary candles + 1 surprise pair of bookish socks. And at this price, this combo is a delight for both your pockets and your friend! Now these are limited editions so you might want to hurry and go check it out!

Bookish Socks

Nothing says a Christmas gift like a good pair of quirky socks! You can find a pair for your Jane Austen fan friend, one for your The Kite Runner fan friend, one for the library mouse and one for your GoT fan friend. And might as well, grab one for yourself! Made from premium cotton, these will keep your feet warm and cozy! 

Tote Bags

Tote bags are SO in this season! Not to mention they are really eco-friendly and fit in a lot of stuff. These tote bags are made up of solid, cotton canvas and are a must-have for your obsession with buying all things bookish. They are lightweight, easily washable and a steal at this price point!

Bookmarks

What would a bookworm be without a bookmark? Lost. But these Wise Bookmarks are here to guide your way! With a different message on each of them, this set of 10 bookmarks are sharing wisdom for when you need them. And have you seen how beautiful and aesthetic they look? This is that one gift that can never go wrong!

Book Lamp

If you really want to make your friend gasp in awe when they see your gift, go for this one!This book-shaped lamp is very easy to use; simply open the cover to turn it on and shut it to turn it off. When not in use, just stack it with your other books in a corner! The cover is made of high-quality wood and has an extremely flexible spine, while the inside pages are made of ultra-lightweight material. The lamp is easily rechargeable through USB and lasts for more than 6 hours once completely charged. 

bath-vader-soap-booksom

Bath Vader Soaps

I know gifting soaps might not seem like the best gift idea, but it can be when it comes to Bath Vader Soaps! The soaps contain activated charcoal to reflect the Dark Side and Cherry Blossom extract. All the Star War lovers will go gaga over it!

Jane Austen Note Cards

If your friend is a Jane Austen fan, then this is the gift they have needed their whole life! The romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy never gets old for modern viewers. Jane Austen is a beloved and timeless novelist and these 16 note-cards show exactly how witty and funny her characters were. 

Harry Potter Music Box

If you want a tinge of nostalgia in your gift, this is it! This handmade wooden musical box plays Harry Potter’s official theme song (Hedwig’s Theme). This music box is portable, lightweight and designed as such that it fits in the palm plus the design on the box is beautifully-carved and looks elegant. Needless to say, every Potterhead needs this.
