If you’re like me, you are frantically joyfully searching for meaningful gifts for the people you love. And you’re running out of time to do it.
No worries, I’ve collected some unique gift ideas for the book lovers in your life. Or, for you. 😉
Personalized Book Plates from Zazzle Customize one of the many cute designs to create personalized book plate stickers. These are fun and inexpensive, running about $5 a sheet, depending on the size you choose. I want no mistake about who owns my books, so I chose the 3″ size!
Personal Library Kit by Knock Knock Be a generous reader, but keep track of who has your books with these “old-school” library cards and book pockets. I found it cheapest on Amazon for $13.29.
Aquala Bathtub Caddy from Umbra.com This bamboo tray has a built-in soap dish, wine glass holder (!) and fold away book rack. This gift is a bit luxurious, priced at $50. A girl can dream…
Book Rest Lamp by Suck UK Since I’ve launched into the expensive, I’m gonna stay on that trajectory. I found this book lamp at Real Simple . It’s pricey at $71, but very cool, you must admit. Almost as cool as…
Lumio Lamps from hellolumio.com Whoa. You’ve gotta check these out. They are portable lamps that fold into the shape of a hardcover book. Just open the “book”, and an accordion-like “shade” opens to generate soft light. Some Lumio lights have USB micro-chargers for cell phones and wooden pegs or a strap for mounting/ hanging. These incredible babies aren’t cheap – $125 for the Mini Lumio, $190 for the full-sized Walnut. But if you want to give something different…
And I’ll put in yet another plug for the affordable and totally artsy/literary Postertext posters.
Find anything you like? Better yet, can you share any other ideas and add to this list?

This actually answered my problem, many thanks!
I saw bronze book darts on another gift list – bronze book darts, to mark not only your page but the line you were on. There are a bunch on Amazon for about $15 for 125 of them.
That light is amazing!
I love those Postertext posters!
Very fun – totally getting those name plates 🙂
