Alove for literature is truly something to cherish, whether that applies to you or somebody in your life. While the most obvious gift for such a person might be an actual book (duh), they’d want to receive plenty of book-related or literary-themed gifts. Chances are, your book-loving best friend or library-fanatic mum has already devoured every title ever. All that is to say, you might not be able to just gift them a new book because, let’s be real, they’ve probably already preordered it or nabbed it from their local bookstore.

Instead, think about all of the accoutrements that go into reading. There’s a host of clothing and rich-smelling candles that can help elevate the reading experience for any reader, no matter their preferred genre. Hence we list down a few of the best gifts for book lovers – that aren’t books – below.
