There are a ton of great gifts for book lovers that that aren't books but are still fun and well received. Being a book lover myself, I've created a list of budget-friendly gifts for bookworms that I know they'll absolutely adore. These will have them dreaming of being curled up on a rainy afternoon with a good book in no time! (And if you're looking for a gift for me, family and friends, look no further! 😉 )
Whether your family member or friends are considered book nerds or work as a librarian - or somewhere in between - these are the best gifts to give your favorite avid reader. These unique gifts showcase their favorite books as well as other thoughtful ideas. Whether their favorite book titles are Harry Potter, Jane Eyre, or Oscar Wilde, there are great options for anyone!

My first great gift idea is a book - but with good reason. What goes together better than books and coffee? Books and booze, of course! This is THE perfect book for book lovers! Add some spice to your favorite bibliophile's book club night with these literary drink recipes. With recipes that put a twist on classic novels, such as "Are You There God, It's Me, Margarita" and "Love in the Time of Kahlua", they'll be giggling in no time. This book includes 65 recipes as well as tidbits, drinking games, and more and sure beats handing them a gift card!

Knock Knock Personal Library Kit
This one is at the top of my list for cool gifts for book lovers. If you know a book lover that often lends out of their personal book collection - but tends to forget to who - this will easily end their misery of missing books. This classic bestseller is a great way to keep track of who's borrowed which book, so you'll never lose another one again. As a personal note, I worked in our school library in the fifth grade, when these cards were still used. Let me say, they are so much fun to stamp. Be forewarned that this gift is a huge source of power, and should be used responsibly for the love of books. It's up to the receiver if they decide to create their own library card to hand out as well!
