You might be tempted to gift the book lover in your life more books. While this seems like the obvious thing to do, there are so many other options that literary enthusiasts will appreciate. Plus, you won't run the risk of getting them a book or series they've already read.

As an avid reader, there needs to be a certain vibe when I read. I'll slip on my fuzziest socks, brew some tea and cuddle up in a blanket before turning a page. Any of those items that create the cozy aesthetic will pique a book lover's interest. Practical gifts like bookmarks, reading lights, and book ends are also foolproof options.

Below,  discover the 15 best gifts for book lovers that aren't books. All of these will have your loved on itching to start their next novel... and they may just inspire you to pick up your next page turner too.
