Gift Guide for Book Nerds
Looking for a gift for a fellow book nerd? Or (go on, you can admit it) for yourself?
These are some of our favorite bookish gifts. Click on each image and/or description below to visit the various websites.
Some of these are gifts we sell in our own Read+Purr Shop or our Bookshop storefront; some are affiliate links* for companies we believe in and support with our own gift-buying dollars; and others are simply items we love. In all cases, we think you will adore these companies and these bookish gifts as much as we do.
*Meaning, of course, that if you purchase something using one of our affiliate links, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. It’s a win-win-win, really.
loose-leaf teas
Reading time & tea go together like PB&J. And the teas from Plum Deluxe are fragrant, delicious, and made with love in Oregon. If you’re new to loose-leaf teas, you may also want an adorably practical tea scoop and tea infuser.

If coffee’s your hot drink of choice, you can “brew” a cup in your cup with these fancy-yet-easy coffee bags from Whittard’s of England.
