It's the holiday season! Which also means the gift giving season and I thought I should definitely do a post on what to get your favourite Book Nerd!
Being a book nerd myself, I didn't want to be biased on my own opinions. Therefore, I asked a few of my book loving friends and accumulated the eight most common answers for gift requests!
Cozy Socks/House Booties/Slippers
This is a very popular gift request, especially during the winter time. It is also the most under rated. Usually when you think of a book nerd, you never think of socks or slippers. But trust me, while us book nerds read, we LOVE to stay comfy. Fluffy socks themselves are very inexpensive but are also a well-loved gift in the book community!
Cute Pyjamas
Going along with what makes us cozy, cute pyjamas are also very popular. For the same reason, we love getting cozy while we read! Just like socks/slippers, pyjamas can be very inexpensive and obviously very easy to find. During the holiday season, most places should have them in a set, already wrapped for you!
Fuzzy Blankets
And the last thing to go with being comfy is a nice fuzzy blanket to cuddle in with. As you can see, the more comfortable the reading experience is for a reader, the better. Blankets can be on the little pricier end depending on where you get them, so be aware of that.
Candles
A lot of readers like to light a candle or two while reading - well, anywhere! In the tub, in their room etc. It's a very popular gift all year round especially on bookstagram where photos are taken avidly and candles are always used as a prop. You can get an inexpensive candle from your local store, or even order a custom book-related candle on etsy! The possibilities are endless!
Bath Products
Bath products are also great for book nerds. Most book nerds, of course like a comfortable reading experience. What better way to be comfortable and relaxed than to read in the tub! Bath essentials like bubble baths, bath bars, etc are perfect for your book nerd!
Mugs
Mugs are a great gift for anyone who loves a nice warm drink, especially during the colder seasons. Speaking for myself, I love to drink a cup of tea while I read; I even slide a cup of coffee here and there when I'm really feeling tired. Any size mug will do, meaning your spending limit is up to you!
Tea/Coffee
And to go along with the cute little mug you got your favourite book nerd, why not get a box of tea or coffee to go along with it! This is also a very inexpensive and easy to find. Of course, the kind of coffee or tea is up to the book nerd.
Funko POP!s
Funko Pop!s are very common is today's pop culture. They are vinyl figures that almost everyone has seen and/or collects. They range from characters from video games, movies, television shows, and of course, BOOKS! The type of Pop! figure will of course depend on your book nerd but they do have common characters that almost everyone loves.
Books
I couldn't write a gift giving guide without including the main factor, BOOKS! Books are the perfect gift for your favourite book nerd! They can run from a various prices but you can find new books for cheap! (My post on how to get cheap books will be here when published) And if you're unsure on what books your book nerd has, a giftcard to the book store is okay too!
Hopefully these ideas helped a little when it comes to getting gifts for your avid readers. But of course, don't get lost in the gift giving season and remember the real reason of Christmas, to be with your loved ones.
