The Best Gifts for Book Lovers (2025): From E-Readers to Boxed Sets

If they have an e-reader but want the option to use color, the Kobo Libra Color is the best option. It lets them use a range of colors while reading, and you can add a stylus to turn it into a digital notebook. It has page-turner buttons, which are great and something you won’t find on the Kindle.

This e-reader from Kobo costs the same as the Kindle Paperwhite, but it comes with a color screen. It’s 6 inches smaller than the base Kindle, and I like how light it is to hold. This is a great budget color e-reader if you don’t want the stylus and notebook feature of the Libra.

If they don’t have a Kindle, the 12th edition Paperwhite is our favorite. It has a warm front light and great battery life, and comes in a fun pink color. Upgrade to the Signature for auto-adjusting lights and more storage (aka more books!).

The Kindle Scribe 2 is a great e-reader and digital notebook. It’s larger than the Libra Color, making it easier to write and draw on, but the downside is that it doesn’t have a color screen. However, there is a colorful model coming this winter.

PopSocket has a new collection of Kindle cases that have a MagSafe ring, so you can easily pop them onto the PopSocket Grip. The Curled Up with a Good Book design comes with a matching case and grip that you can use together.

This convenient case not only looks great, but the lines on the cover actually allow it to fold and support the Kobo while reading. very convenient! It comes in beautiful colors and is available for many Kobo devices, including Clara and Libra.

This is my favorite PopGrip. It’s big enough that my little hands can comfortably reach it on the 7-inch Paperwhite and ColorSoft, and it’s nice to touch and look at.

These straps from Strapsicle make it really easy to hold the e-reader. They are easy to attach, and I even find it safer to use one of the two straps. The limited-edition Neon collection is super fun and worth purchasing before it runs out.

Our favorite reading light is a super versatile clip-on with an adjustable gooseneck. The two rotating light bars each have seven LEDs.

This lightweight neck light is a great option if your reader might hate having something clip onto the pages. It has three light warmth and six brightness settings.

This cute belt bag isn’t much wider than usual, but it has a soft interior pocket made for carrying a Kindle Paperwhite or a base Kindle (the Kobo Clara will fit just as well).

This tote bag screams “I love books” in the best way possible. It’s a great shape, has nice long straps that make it super comfortable to wear.

Strapsicle recently launched stickers with both sweet and spicy packs. This is a good-sized set that can easily fit multiple e-readers.

If they’re constantly trying a new read, give them a journal so they can track what they’ve read and how they liked it.

I don’t like primary colors when I comment on my books. This is a similar but much larger pack of book tabs that I found at my local Daiso, and as I mark the pages of my book, the pastel colors are more soothing on the eyes.

I love these highlighters for my paper planners, and they’re a great option for readers who like to highlight paragraphs. There is a highlighter and pen end for each color if they want to outline.

The label says it all. Give them a candle to alert everyone who is busy reading. I’ve tried all four of the scents you chose, and my favorites are the mimosa and white tea scents.

Help block out the world while reading them with our favorite noise-canceling headphones (or take part in immersion reading, where you listen to audiobooks while reading the physical book at the same time).

Give them a beautiful mug to stay hydrated with their beverage of choice while they read, whether it’s a nice cup of tea or a hot toddy.

They’ll need some hot water with that cup of tea, and this attractive electric kettle is both stylish and affordable without sacrificing performance.

Give the gift of happy, comfortable feet with our favorite set of men’s slippers. Our WIRED reviewer says these slippers hold up well and have a classic Ugg front, with a low back that makes them easy to take on and off.

If there’s any book I want to get my husband that he’s already read, it’s these beautifully illustrated editions. lord of the rings, the hobbitand even The Silmarillion,

They may have been fans of One Piece for years. They may have become new fans after watching the Netflix series. You can start their collection of still-running manga or even give them some early volumes to connect them to the originals.

if they’re a fan court of thorns and rosesIt’s official: They got Sarah J. Must read other series of the month, Crescent CityTo stay informed about what happens next ACOTAR Book. The first one is my favourite.

This is a great series of books if you are shopping for an elementary reader or teen. The books have endured, Bloom’s themes resonating years later.

If you know someone who lacks the time to sit down and read, get them an Audible subscription so they can listen to books while driving, working out, working out, and more.

Book of the Month is a subscription for readers who prefer physical books. Each month, there are five to seven titles to choose from that ship straight to their door (they can skip months if nothing catches their eye).

Wired reviewer Adrienne So has subscribed for years (on and off) to Parnassus Signed First Editions from novelist Ann Patchett’s store in Nashville, Tennessee. The books are primarily literary fiction, with occasional non-fiction books also included. Every book she’s gotten has been an absolute blast.
