Stocking Stuffer Ideas for the Book Lover in your Home
In most cases, stocking stuffers are the add-on gift — a ceremonial afterthought of chocolate Santa Clauses, gift cards, and all kinds of holiday residue found in the dollar bins at your favorite store. But when you can hone in on your loved one’s most excellent hobbies and passions, a stocking stuffer can become a personalized trinket that lets that person know you’re thinking about them.
So, what do you get for the avid reader in your family? Like your super angsty teenage brother who can’t get enough of Kafka. Or your sister who has enough Emily and Charlotte Brontë swag to open up her own Wuthering Heights gift shop. What about Mom and her weird romance novel book club? Luckily, we have you covered with our Top 5 stocking stuffers to satisfy the ultimate bookworm in your family.
5. Energizer Lightweight Clip Lamp
When it comes to gifts, sometimes the most practical items are the way to go. Take Energizer’s Lightweight LED Clip Lamp, for example. Anyone with a significant other who spends time reading late into the night knows how destructive the light from the bedside lamp can be to your sleep. Even worse, your boyfriend has just started to read Infinite Jest every night in bed, which could equate to infinitely sleepless nights for the next year as he tries to finish the notoriously lengthy book.
Luckily, we care about your sanity and sleep. This compact and flexible LED light clip will provide all the light (11 Lumens to be exact) he needs to keep reading into the night and provide you with some much-needed zzz’s.
4. Novel Teas
British novelist C.S. Lewis once said he couldn’t get a cup of tea or a book long enough to suit him. The man loved his tea and literature, and who are we to judge?
Most bookworms are tea fiends, and Novel Teas has come to satisfy their cravings for the black stuff. One Novel Teas set comes with 25 different tea bags, each uniquely tagged with a literary quote. Lewis’s famous tea and book quotes and many other inspirational quotes from authors worldwide are here. The Victorian aesthetic of the packaging could also appeal to the anglophile in your family. You know, your aunt, who can’t stop raving about Downton Abby, has commemorative Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana plates. Pinkies up!
3. Personalized Bookmark
A bookmark tailored to their interests or personalized with their name. It could be made from leather, metal, or even handmade. This is practical and adds a personal touch to their reading experience.
2. Literary-Themed Socks
Socks featuring famous book covers, quotes from beloved authors, or icons related to literature. They’re a fun and quirky way for book lovers to show their passion.
1. Novelty Bookends
Stylish and unique bookends that can add character to their bookshelves. These could be in shapes that reflect their favorite genres or interests, like animals, historical figures, or abstract designs.
