Does anyone else love getting socks for Christmas? One of my favorite Christmas gifts I got one were wool socks that I could wear with my hiking boots. I was so happy because wool socks are ridiculously expensive, I would also love to receive these awesome library card socks.

And my last bookish gift recommendation is to buy your favorite book lover a new book.
I don’t think I can even explain how happy you would make that book lover if you asked them to tell you a few books that they want and then buy that book for them.
My whole life I have heard people say
“You have so many books I don’t want to get you another book because it wouldn’t be special”
No! You have no idea how much I will treasure the shit out that book, to make it even more special, you could write a sweet note on the inside of that book and I will love it until the end of my days.
I’ve also heard
“You have so many books I just don’t know which ones you do and don’t have,”
okay I have three points for this
-It’s the thought that counts. Even if you buy me a book that I already have, just buying the book lets me know that you support my hobby and my interests
-that’s what a gift receipt is for
-Why can’t you just ask if there is a book that I want??
So there you go that is my gift guide for the book lover in your life.
CARPE LIBRUM!
OMG I think that one is going to my wish list haha 🙂 Great list!

All of these are such great ideas, but I especially love the tea and jewellery – I’d be delighted if someone got me those for a present! Nice post!

As someone from the UK, I really live up to the stereotype of loving tea, and you’re right, it IS a lovely thought! I get VERY excited any time someone gives me tea as a gift or suggests I try a new flavour.
