Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers
If your mom loves to read, sometimes it can be easy to gift her a good book you know she will love – if she has a favorite author or has been talking about a book she can’t wait to read. Often times though, finding her next favorite book can give you a hard time because you don’t always know if it is one she is interested in reading.
That is where this list comes in! People who love to read love to also get bookish related items, and this list includes some great Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers.
These include a thoughtful gift that will let her personalize her home library or book collection, or a great gift to make her reading spot more comfortable or convenient. These are the best mother’s day gifts for reading accessories that bookworm moms would love to receive.
We have links for each product included here for convenience but if you want to look through everything, head on over to our bookish items for the book lover storefront. We also have a storefront dedicated to the books on the blog, to shop for any of the books we talk about and review on the blog.
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Book Embosser
Starting off strong with an amazing book related gift that she might never think to buy for herself – a book embosser!
This is one of the best Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers, especially if mom’s bookshelf is actually an extensive home library with some of the best books of Jane Austen or William Shakespeare. It is equally one of the best gifts if her bookshelf is full of romantasy or Harry Potter. This is the perfect addition to her bookish collection!
A book embosser is also the ultimate personalized gift for readers because it can be created to her design preference. It is a unique gift all her own.
Of course, the embosser can be used on any type of stationary so its use isn’t necessarily limited to books. It immediately elevates any stationary, making cards and envelopes personalized and beautiful.
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Ebook Page Turner
We love all types of books – physical, audio or digital – so this one is for the ereaders out there!
Picture the absolute LUXURY of laying in bed, ereader resting on a book holder on your nightstand, while being comfortably snuggled under the covers with this remote page turner in your hand. Read while you stay all warm and cozy without having to hold your reader or move your hand to turn each page.
That is reader utopia right there!
Your mom deserves that type of luxury! This is one of the top tier Mothers Day gift ideas for avid readers if she prefers an ereader!
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Page Weight
We do love to get our hands on physical books, but there are some instances where it is really convenient if we didn’t have to hold it for the entire time we are reading.
Ok, that sounds silly, we know. But hear us out!
One of our favorite times to read is when we are eating. Have an hour to escape the world while you are on your lunch break? Settling down for supper and want to pick up where you left off in that exciting thriller? This page weight lets us put the book on the table and read while you eat.
It’s honestly genius and our favorite way to use it!
This is also a perfect way to hold open a cookbook you may be referencing when you cook, or any other type of instructional material that you want to regularly refer to while you are working on a project. This is why it is one of those practical but perfect Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers. Such an easy gift but so brilliant!
Check out more styles and options in our Bookish Items for the Book Lover storefront.
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Book Lights
Any reader knows that these personalized reading lights are absolute game changers. They allow you to read without disturbing others as well as giving you extra light when you need it.
The thing is, when it comes to reading lights, they are genius in concept but (a lot of the time) they come up short in execution. We have tried approximately 1 million different types of book lights so far, and they are not all great.
The various problems we have encountered include things like – the neck is too floppy, the clip doesn’t stay on the book, the clip makes the book top heavy, or the light is barely visible.
Here are a couple of the better styles/types that we have used.
The LED is lightweight on the book and it puts out really good light. In today’s world, the charging mechanism is more convenient and this is a fantastic option for travel.
LED Book Light
The neck wearing style is probably the better way in terms of overall design, provided it doesn’t bother you to wear it around your neck. We like that you don’t have to attach anything to your favorite book!
Neck Wearing Book Light
There are many different options available, so we have linked several in our storefront, as well as these two, so you can easily compare them all and decide which one you think your reader will prefer.
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Book Holder
You already know that readers will read anywhere, but when they are at home, they have their favorite reading spots. We consider a book holder to be one of the best Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers because it will give her a little spot in her own home to have all of her reading items and comforts together.
She can rest the book on the arch for a quick bathroom break. The tea drinkers and coffee drinkers will be happy to have a spot to set their mugs so they are close at hand. Set her phone down on it when she is in reading mode. A spot to have her reading glasses. It’s so perfect!
The genius in these is their portability. When the weather starts to warm up and she can read outside – she can take this with her! A place to set her book so it doesn’t get dirty. Have a refreshing cold drink resting on it. Have her sunglasses and phone close at hand. So good!
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Bookmarks
There are so many types of bookmarks, and every reader has their preferences. Here are some of the styles you may not have thought of before, all of which will make excellent Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers!
Leather Bookmarks
We love these because they last and are more durable than paper bookmarks. They also just feel nice! We have the classic style as well as the corner style so you can get the type your mom prefers. Alone or with another bookish item, they make a nice luxury accessory for a book lover.
Wooden Bookmarks
Like the leather ones, these just feel decadent and are so beautiful.
Resin Bookmarks
Another great sustainable bookmark option, and lots of aesthetics to choose from.
Stainless Steel or Metal Bookmarks
Book darts are the minimalist option that so many readers prefer. They are also great for annotation, especially if you don’t want to keep tabs in the book once you are done with it.
These metal bookmarks are works of art and if this is your mom’s vibe, they are perfect Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers.
Magnetic Bookmarks
If your mom lives in a busy, bustling house where her book might get knocked off counters or somehow might end up losing her bookmark – magnetic bookmarks for the win! They stay attached to the page and are much harder to dislodge.
Whimsical
Ok these are all just so cute we had to include a lot of them. More can be found in the storefront!
We could include sooo many more, but we will include them in the storefront so browse there for more!
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Lap Stands
Ereader Lap Stand
Picture your mom snuggled up at home in her favorite spot, with this on her lap for hands free reading! She will love it!
We love this one – a lap desk with accessories inside. She can have annotation materials, glasses, bookmarks all right there and convenient everytime she needs them. Plus she can elevate the top to change up reading levels.
The height of coziness and one of the best Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers!
Flip Top Lap Desk
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Bookshelves
Every reader loves to have bookshelves to house and admire their books. Here are some unique ones that may make unexpectedly perfect Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers.
TBR Cart
The infamous TBR (to be read) cart!
Did you know that book buying is as incredibly addictive as book reading is? Its true! The TBR cart is perfect to house the books you own that you haven’t yet read.
Mother’s Day gift giving idea! Set up the TBR cart, wrap each of your mom’s books that she hasn’t read yet and put them on the cart so each book is a little surprise read (but one she already picked out so you know she wants to read it) every time she goes to grab her next book.
Stand Alone Bookshelf
This is a GREAT gift idea because this bookshelf doesn’t require you to hang it on the wall. It is streamlined and stylish, and makes the books easy to access.
Macrame Wall Bookshelf
If your mom loves macrame or has a boho interior design aesthetic, this is a perfect Mother’s Day gift idea for her!
Besides being beautiful, it is a space saver since it takes the books off of tables, which is perfect if space is limited.
Beyond Mother’s day – think of this in a dorm room, small apartment, home office or any other space that will be elevated by the the addition of books (which is all of them!)
Hanging Bookshelves
These are genius. A great way to display and house your books, plus extra shelf space? Fantastic! Great Mothers Day gift for a book lover!
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Magnifiers
Ugh. Trust us, she hates that she needs these. But if she does, they are absolutely essential to her reading enjoyment. So here are some clever designs that make great Mothers Day gifts for the book lover.
Horizontal Reading Glasses
These funny glasses will let her lay down and still read! She might act like they are a gag gift, but we bet she uses them more than she lets on!
Page Magnifier
If she has to use reading glasses, this device can really help take reduce eye strain when she is reading. Pride may prevent her from buying it for herself, but this is why it is on this list of Mothers Day gifts for the book lover – she will actually really use it and it will improve her reading experience!
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Book Buddy
These cute little holders are all the rage – a place to put your book or ereader to keep them safe. It can hold all of your other items to minimize what you carry, or can be in addition to her purse or tote bag. Lots of designs to choose from.
Mothers Day Gift Ideas for Book Lovers – Book Box
One of our FAVORITE gifts to give a book lover is a book box. Is there anything more exciting than getting a parcel delivered that has a book and bookish items to accompany it? That is the greatest!
The added bonus for you as the gift giver is that you don’t have to worry about delivery! So if you don’t live close to your mom but want to get her some bookish wonderfulness for Mother’s day, a book box is an especially perfect Mother’s day gift.
The first one featured here is one you can order off Amazon, if Amazon is your preferred place to shop.
The other two are Etsy shops – Honey and Hosta and The Little Book Lady. We have ordered from both and were happy with the product and service, so we certainly recommend these shops when you are looking for Mothers Day gift ideas for book lovers.
