You would think book lovers are a pretty easy group to buy for, right? Just get ‘em a book! Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple — book people also tend to be big collectors (hoarders?), so buying them a book might not be the safest.

So what do you buy for a book lover? Because I personally struggle with gift-giving, I thought it would be nice to give what little wisdom I have to others who might need it and share some ideas for the best literary gifts. All below are gifts for book lovers that aren’t books that will thrill pretty much any reader in your life.
