1. Enamel Pins
Because reading is fun when you have such cute enamel pins to look at. Your friends would probably give this pin to someone they lend a book from their library to, at least that's what I'd do. You can get this enamel pin and a lot more bookish stuff on My Secret Copy.

Book lovers have the tendency of misplacing their bookmarks and then using anything they find as bookmarks, be it another book, a receipt, or even someone's hand, Having a bookmark of their favorite book will make sure that they won't lose it. You can either buy one or up your game and make one.

All book readers love book boxes. You can get your book lover friend a one-month plan, three-month plan, six-month plan, or even a year plan. This gift will just be enough to make a book lover cry.
