Book lover gifts UK: ideas beyond another book

A book lover already owns the book you are thinking of buying. The best gifts for readers are the things around reading: the place, the light, and the pictures on the wall.

The print from this post.

Looking for a gift? Christmas gifts for him, her, dad and mum.

Personalised ex libris bookplate print in engraved ink on cream: a border of stacked books, a reading lamp and a cup of tea, with Ex Libris above and a mum's name and a year set in the centre.

For the reading nook

A good reading lamp, a throw, a small table for the tea. For the wall above, a print of a scene they love makes the corner theirs.

For the shelf

A bookplate print personalised with their name and the year looks like it came from a family library.

For the person who has everything

A print of the scene from their favourite book, in a style from the book's own century. Tell them why you chose it: a picture is a better gift when it comes with a reason.
