Anyone who knows me knows that—for a birthday or holiday gift—book-related presents are the way to my heart. My perfect day usually includes reading when I wake up in the morning, taking a not-so-quick stroll around my local bookstore or library, reading even more when I get home, and doing it all outfitted in my favorite bookish merch. Readers love collecting book merchandise almost as much as they love actually reading, and as a lifelong bookworm, I consider myself an expert in the area of book club gifts.
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect gift for your book club friends, or maybe something special for that dedicated bookworm in your life, look no further. We’ve rounded up 30+ bookish gifts that are perfect for the reader who is never too far away from their newest novel. This list has it all—from book totes to Kindle cases to collector editions—and is sure to impress even the most avid of readers.

FAQs about book club gifts
What should I get a book club host?
Hosting takes effort, so the best gifts for a book club host help ease that burden, just a little bit. Think cocktail napkins or coasters to help keep their space clean. Fun games to play as a group or discussion starters are also a great pick! And, of course, you can always go with a bottle of wine or a snack board.
What are good gift ideas for the whole book club?
The best book club gifts for the whole group are typically something everyone can enjoy together. Some of our favorite picks include matching tote bags, socks, or keychains. A custom bookmark set is also always a win! Or, you could take it to the next level with an outing to a bookstore or author event.
What’s a good book club gift exchange idea?
A “bring your favorite book” swap is always a good choice for a gift exchange. Just wrap your favorite book up and bring it to book club—you can even label it with a one-line teaser or genre clue! If a book isn’t an option, budget-friendly items like a fun Kindle case or book-themed holiday ornament are great picks.
What are good book club gifts under $25?
Plenty of great book club gifts can be purchased for less than $25. Some ideas include a custom bookmark, a fun bookish mug, a reading journal, or a pack of pens and sticky notes for annotating.
What gifts work for a book club member who has everything?
For the book club member who is already outfitted in all the bookish merch and accessories they could ever ask for—and has a personal library to marvel at—try something simple (that doesn’t add clutter), like a bookstore gift certificate. If you know their favorite author, you could even grab them a ticket to an upcoming event!
