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.

We’ve rounded up 30+ bookish gifts that are perfect for the reader who is never too far away from their newest novel.
