Rappler Gift Guide: What to give your book lover friends this Christmas

MANILA, Philippines – We all have that friend whose bookshelf is on its way to replacing the National Library, the friend we all turn to when we want to borrow a book, or when we want to read a book but we’re too lazy so we just ask him/her to tell us the story.

This friend is the one who goes to an international book fair like its a pilgirimage, and emerges with sacks of fresh new pages to read on each arm. What does one give to this friend that’s less obvious and more creative than a gift certificate to their favorite bookstore? 

A cute bookmark would be a good place to start. Try these ones made with bottle caps from Hodge Podge. 

This book-shaped LED night light from Lazada is as cute as it is useful.

Potterheads in particular will love this gift, which will feed their fandom further. 

It may really take a superhero to help your friend arrange their book collection, so this bookend is appropriate. 

This pouch from Izzo Shop shows the words any book lover lives by.

Any bookworm’s cash stash will be safe with a money box that will practically disappear on their bookshelves. 

They can quote their favorite authors – or write pieces of their own – with this set of poetry magnets from Poetry Magnets PH.
