I’ve grabbed several for Christmas gifts, and I can’t wait to see my family’s faces when they unwrap these aromatic treasures!
3) ANNOTATION BOOKMARKS BY HEY HELLO BOOKISH
Have you been wanting to annotate your books, but don’t know where to start? I did a post a while back about annotating for beginners. These bookmarks were featured in that post because they make annotating a breeze. You can check out that post here.
They are also the most inexpensive gifts for book lovers and would make an excellent gifts for your bookclub members.
These annotation bookmarks from Hey Hello Bookish immediately caught my eye when I was just starting out annotating my books, and I’m sure your bookworm bestie will love them.

It snaps right onto your book cover, keeping all your annotation supplies (tabs, highlighters, pens) within arm’s reach.
No more scrambling for supplies mid-reading session! This makes for the perfect bookclub gift idea.
5) literary handbags by the well read company
For the fashionable bibliophile, these gorgeous bags showcase classic literature in style. Whether you’re team Dracula, Hamlet, or (my personal favorite) Edgar Allan Poe, these bags let you wear your literary love on your shoulder.
6) BOOK-THEMED WALLETS BY THE WELL READ COMPANY
Got a bookworm who prefers something smaller? The Well Read Company’s wallets packs the same literary punch in a compact size – perfect for stuffing stockings!
7) protective kindle cases
For the digital bookworm, this sturdy Kindle case is both practical and stylish. It’s scratch-proof, splash-proof, and comes with a handy strap – because sometimes one-handed reading is a must!
8) kindle page turner

This is the perfect gift idea for kindle readers.
10) BOOK JOURNAL
Readers love keeping track of what they’ve read and how they felt about their books. This awesome journal helps readers jot down their book lists, thoughts, their ratings, and books they’d like to add to their TBR (to-be-read pile).
I purchased one and I absolutely love it. This journal is a great inexpensive gift for the book lover in your life.
11) magical book nooks
These book nooks by Rolife are not only a relaxing DIY project for your bookworm to assemble, but they look awesome on a bookshelf. This the perfect inexpensive gift for book lovers who like to decorate their bookshelves.
12) audiobook gift cards
Making time to read physical books can be a challenge, which is why I love audiobooks.
It allows me to listen to my book while doing dishes or commuting to work. As a book blogger, it’s a lifesaver. Your bookworm can consume their favorite novel via audiobook on platforms like chirp.com , Libro.fm, or on audible.com. Great bookish stocking stuffers!
13) bookish sweatshirts
Brrrrr! It’s getting cold outside. That’s why a bookish sweatshirt makes for one of the best gifts for book lovers this season. I purchased the Twilight sweatshirt from Amazon and have gotten plenty of compliments whenever I wear it.
I also have my eye on this adorable bookworm sweatshirt. This is a great way for your bookworm to declare their love for books to the world, stay warm, and look stylish. I call that a triple win!
Those are my top picks for best gift ideas for book lovers.
I hope you find something awesome to gift your beloved bookworm this Holiday season. Let me know if I should add any other inexpensive gift ideas for book lovers to this list.
