Gift Guide : For the Bibliophile

Hey friends! I hope y’all are having a great Friday!

I’m working on releasing a series of gift guides and this first one is for the bibliophiles in your life. I’ve rounded up some gifts the bibliophile in your life, child or adult, will absolutely love! This post leans heavily in favor of all things Jane Austen, but includes other authors and items you may like.

Bibliophiles really, really love books: the look, the feel, the smell and the history just as much as the content and collect them for their aesthetics. I would definitely put myself in this category, though I will somewhat sheepishly admit that I have an ongoing love affair with my Kindle. I know, I know…it’s almost blasphemous to admit, but reading a Kindle has changed my life! I’ve read so many books since I got it and I love it so much, but I am also feeling the pull to expand my home library and buy more beautiful, well-done, annotated editions of books I love. I want to instill a love of reading in my child and I want to pass down beautiful books someday!

All of that to say…I hope you enjoy this post and I hope you find a gift idea for the book lover in your life!

Emma by Jane Austen : Pink Floral Puffin In Bloom Edition + Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen : Green Floral Puffin In Bloom Edition: These are available for pre-order and will ship on February 13, 2024!! I gasped when I saw these…they are so beautiful and would make great gifts for the book collector in your life who values book aesthetics for Valentine’s Day.

The Annotated Little Women by Louisa May Alcott: This is on my Christmas list this year! Just from reading the reviews, it is excellent and it is a substantial (i.e. HUGE) book. If you’d like to dive into Little Women a little deeper, this book is for you. I’ve sourced another annotated version of Little Women that might be of interest to you as well!

Rifle Paper Co. Festive Book Mug : FYI - this mug is cheaper on a few other websites than it is on Amazon. Be sure to do some digging online on other retailers’ websites before you buy from Amazon. ;)

Red Embroidered Monogrammed Corner Bookmark + Blush Embroidered Monogrammed Corner Bookmark: There are a few additional colors available. These would be good stocking stuffers.

Chunky Cable Knit Throw Blanket: Doesn’t this blanket make you want to curl up with a good book? Hand-knotted and made of chenille. There are several colors available (the ivory, beige, and sage green are my faves) and it has almost 1000 5 star reviews.

Vintage Style Knit Socks - Pack of 5: Very cute!

Kindle Paperwhite 8GB: My favorite thing about the Kindle Paperwhite is that the screen is visible in indoor light or outdoors in direct sunlight. Also, you can change the color temperature of the screen so you're not staring at blue light (if you’re a night owl and don’t want disrupted sleep from reading late at night, this is a game changer). Reading books became a little challenging for me once I had a baby who only wanted to contact nap. Holding my child and reading a book became a breeze! Just get this for yourself. Trust me.

Lit for Little Hands : Pride and Prejudice Board Book: I own this and it’s even more adorable than you could ever imagine! My child loves it.

Pride and Prejudice Seek and Find Classic

Pride and Prejudice: A BabyLit Storybook: I own this one as well and I love it.
