11 Best Gift For Book Lovers

Do you have a book lover in your life who's special day is coming up? Or perhaps just a book lover whom you love enough to give presents even when they don't have a special day coming up? I can promise you that every book lover has fantasized about receiving the items on this list, so search no more!


1. A Good Book

Seriously. This may feel "too obvious" to be true but if you've watched "Beauty and the Beast," you'll remember that Belle was far happier when she saw Beast's huge library than when she saw Beast turn into a prince!

Picking the right book to gift doesn't have to be tiresome either. You can simply pick one from their endless 'to read' list. Or better yet, pick a book you know they would never pick themselves!

2. This Book Necklace

This may not give you the butterflies but as a book lover, I'm squealing just as I post these pictures. Trust me, they'll love it.

3. Book Ring

Jewellery is a good way to go!

4. Mac Book Case

Most of us book worms would rather be carrying a humongous book around than a silly yet necessary electronic device. I'm considering buying a Mac just to for these book cases!

5. Clever Bookmarks

Okay, this one is for the more seasoned gift givers. The bookmark has to be really clever. Either go for one that's literary themed like the one from "The Wizard of Oz." or go for extremely geeky aka cool ones like the bloody bookmark! No random paper bookmarks make the cut, sorry!

6. Paper Weights!

Firstly, no, paper weights are not the same thing as book marks. Secondly, look at how cute this glass transparent paper weight is!

7. Personalized Library Embosser

Not as functional as some of the others but just as beautiful!

8. Personal Library Kit


If you ever plan on lending books from them, gift them this kit first. Book are our sacred children, if we're lending it to you, it's real business.

9. Book Scented Candles

Still haven't figured out how this one works but old books smell like paradise so maybe the candle does, too?

10. Literary Tote Bags

Totes to carry all of our books, of course!

11. Automatic Reading Light

Legend has it that the lamp automatically switches off when a book is on top of it. If you give them the git of light, they are probably going to love you forever.

You don't need a special day to show that book lover that you love them! Gift them already!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
