A Reader's Wishlist

Those of you who have been around for a while might remember that last November, I did a similar post: A Writer's Wishlist. It really seemed like people liked that, so I decided to keep the tradition and write a new post for y'all!


Christmas is coming just next month and below I've created a short list of some gift ideas for readers. Whether you are wanting some suggestions of gift ideas to buy for a reader friend or are just looking for supplies and accessory ideas for yourself, I hope this list is is helpful!


(I also made a YouTube video version of this post, so if you want to watch that, you can here!)


 

  • Pastel highlighters


Some readers like to highlight quotes and passages that stand out to them, but finding the right highlighters that don't bleed through the paper can sometimes be hard. I personally love the brands Stabilo Boss and Tombow!


  • A clamp reading lamp/light


If you consider yourself a bookworm, you've probably had a late night or two (or ten) where you stayed up late to finish an especially compelling novel. Adjustable reading lamps to clamp next to your best can be super useful! I have a similar one to this.


  • A literary candle


A few months ago, I bought a Hobbit themed candle from Lamplighter Literary Creations, and it is my favorite candle ever. The company has a wide collection of scents (though they do sell out quickly) and they make the perfect bookish gift.


  • A personalized book stamp or embosser


My grandparents bought me a book stamp personalized with my name once, and it was such a special gift! Being able to stamp my favorite books with a pretty and professional design is so fun, and it makes a wonderful present.


  • Annotation tabs and sticky notes


Tabs or sticky notes are such a great tool for marking things in your books without making permanent damage. I love tabbing quotes that I want to come back to and write down later, and use a pack similar to this.


  • And of course, books


How can I not include books on this list? The ultimate gift for a bookworm is, of course, a book - however, the choosing can sometimes be hard. If you'd like some of my personal recommendations, I have a Goodreads list of my favorites!



 

What are some of your favorite reading products? I'd love to hear below!
