Magnetic Bookmarks

When you’re traveling a boarding pass, receipt– anything can become a bookmark! I remember once grabbing a pretzels wrapper on the plane in desperation! And these often can fall out and get left behind when you’re on the go. Enter a magnetic bookmark! These are lightweight, yet sturdy and come with a bunch in the pack so you can always have one at the ready! They’re also an extreme bargain! 😉


The Book Seat

Ok, this one ticks many boxes for it being a must-have. It’s great for on the go when you’re on an airplane and potentially using your tablet. But it’s also great for at home reading. It helps with arthritis and carpal tunnel from holding your book for long periods of time and is even helpful for neck and shoulder pain from holding your head at an awkward angle for extended periods.

Overall, it’s a handy tool to have around!

Clip on Light for Book

So, I definitely got this one for home as well as travel. I NEED to read at night before I can go to sleep. It’s just part of my routine. So when my husband goes to bed before me it’s very difficult to achieve this without disturbing him. Enter this perfect Clip on Light. I get my few pages in and he gets his undisturbed Zzzs.

I figured this would also be perfect for car trips or airplanes when you don’t want to put on the overhead light and disturb the other travelers around you. I’m envisioning this as being perfect for my red-eye flight to Europe. 🙂


Portable Charger

Who else has been reading and at a pivotal point in the story only to have their e-reader die? I know this is definitely one of my pet peeves with reading on my kindle! But having one of these portable chargers with you can be game changing– not to mention it can also keep your phone fully charged for pictures!

Romantic Book Lover Gifts

Valentine’s Day has been stigmatized as a Hallmark holiday. And in so many ways it is– we roam the aisles, grab that customary heart shaped box of chocolates and cheesy card and call it a day. But what about if we took the time to really celebrate the purpose behind the day again? What if we actually used the day to court our partner again? What are their hobbies and loves? What is something that will make their eyes light up with joy? What about using it as an opportunity to craft your own love letter to your significant other? I know for me, I’d love something book related. As I’ve said in other places– I’m a self-proclaimed book nerd. And I know I’m not alone in that. So for all the other book nerds out there– here is a round up of romantic Book Lover Gifts for Valentine’s Day. I hope it helps bring that spark of joy to their eyes.


Love Letters of Great Men

What could be more romantic than reading some of the greatest love letters of all time? Written by men nonetheless! Imagine that, men actually pouring their hearts out onto the page for their loved one.

This book celebrates the idea of wearing your heart on your sleeve– or the page and is a beautiful collection including letters from some of the most inspirational men in history– like Napolean Bonaparte, Beethoven, Winston Churchill, Pierre Curie, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and more!

Even if you’re reluctant to express yourself– these letters could be a way to use someone else’s words to say you care. You could even highlight some of your favorite passages before presenting it– a way to truly connect with your partner through the words of others!

Fun fact: This book was actually featured on Sex and the City and was actually a central plot point in one of the episodes!

I have been to enough baby showers at this point to be able to fill that Bingo sheet in my sleep. I mean we all know the typical gifts- onesies, bibs, hats, blankets, booties etc. And yes, the baby does need those! But, is there a way to make ours stand out from the usual cute little animal themed ones? What about fostering that early love for reading? And I don’t mean by giving another copy of Good Night Moon. (It is a great book, but haven’t we all been at a baby shower where the mother-to-be gets at least two copies?) I’m talking some other creative book lover gifts for babies!

If you follow me on social media, you know my children are huge book lovers. Let’s be real, that’s probably because they have me for a mom lol. But I honestly also think it was because they were exposed to book themed items from an extremely young age. Some of their first recognizable characters were from books. The caterpillar from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Corduroy etc. They even had a Good Night Moon matching game! By having these “characters” in places outside of the books themselves, I really feel it made them more accessible and a part of their early developing world.

Lucky for you, I’ve put together a list of some great ideas to help get this book loving start for the young ones in your lives!

Clothing Book Lover Gifts for Babies

There are so many adorable options to choose from! From book themed socks, to book cover or future bookworm onesies– they’re out there! Your only problem will be weeding through and choosing your favorites. Here are a few of mine!

I love these library card socks from Out of Print. They’ve got TONS of options for children and adults. They’re actually where I’ve gotten most my T-shirts, socks, and mugs myself!

But, I’ve also gotten many favorite book themed clothing items for my children from there. One that springs to my mind was my son’s Snuggle Puppy shirt that he wore for his first birthday party. We were HUGE Sandra Boynton fans in our house. That book still makes the occasional appearance at bedtime. 😉
