✨ 5 original gifts for book lovers (that aren't just another book)
Share
If you're close to someone who loves reading, you know that giving them "another book" can seem like a safe bet... but also a bit predictable. Luckily, there are many beautiful, practical, and original options that will make any book lover smile.
Here are 5 ideas that you'll fall in love with (and that you can, of course, accompany with a good book if you like).
📚 1. A handmade book cover
Yes, we're Bookmima and this is our thing, but we don't just say it: a good cover protects your books when you carry them in your purse or backpack, and it also makes reading even more personal.
Our pillowcases are handmade, one by one, with certified fabrics (Oeko-Tex, GOTS) and YKK zippers, so they'll last for years of stories. They're padded, soft to the touch, and look beautiful in any corner.
✨ 2. A portable reading lamp
Nothing says "perfect reading time" like good lighting. A small, rechargeable clip-on lamp lets you read in bed or on the couch without disturbing anyone. It's also perfect for nighttime reading or traveling.
💫 3. A personalized fabric bookmark
Bookmarks don't have to be boring. In fact, they can become little treasures. At Bookmima, we also make fabric bookmarks with the same designs as our covers, so you can give the perfect gift combo.
🎁 4. A literary subscription box
There are boxes that each month contain a surprise book, herbal teas, candles, postcards, or even author merchandise. It's the gift that continues to bring joy for months. Ideal for curious readers who love surprises.
Look for local or artisanal options to support small projects like ours.
☕ 5. A pretty (and literary) mug
Because all good readers know that a book is best enjoyed with a warm drink in hand. There are mugs with author quotes, designs inspired by classics, or even customizable ones.
🎀 Bonus: Wrap the gift with care
The detail makes the difference. You can wrap everything in kraft paper, tie a string, and add a twig, a nice quote, or a book fragment. This way, the gift will be as special on the outside as it is on the inside.
And you? What would you give an avid reader?
If you want to surprise someone who loves books (or treat yourself to something special), at Bookmima we take care of every detail to make the experience unique.
