1. Books
I mean, it’s the obvious choice. I’m sure the book lover in your life has a humongous to-read list that they’d like help sourcing for. Or, if you’re unsure where to start, go for something festive like one of these great Christmas books for adults (classics, romance, mystery… it’s all there):
2. Bookmarks with Personality
Bookmarks are classic stocking stuffers for book lovers. Opt for unique or custom-made bookmarks, like magnetic bookmarks (see the cute coloured ones above), engraved metal designs, or fabric options with tassels.
A personalized bookmark can add a special touch to the reading experience. Etsy has some great options for this:
3. Bookish Candles
Nothing sets the reading mood like a candle inspired by a favorite book.
Again, Etsy is excellent for finding literary-themed candles with scents reminiscent of cozy libraries , new book pages, or vintage typewriters; or even iconic settings like “The Burrow at Christmas” or “Pemberley Gardens.”
4. Book-Themed Mugs
A cup of tea or coffee pairs perfectly with a good book. Book-themed mugs make excellent stocking fillers for book lovers, especially those featuring favorite quotes or book covers.
Bonus: include a packet of their favorite literary tea or coffee inside!
5. Reading Journal
Help them keep track of their reading goals with a reading journal.
This thoughtful gift allows book readers to log books, favorite quotes, and reviews, making it a fun and functional stocking stuffer.
6. E-Reader Stand
For the tech-savvy book lover who enjoys e-books, an adjustable e-reader stand can be a game-changer. It allows hands-free reading, making it a great addition to their book lover Christmas stocking.
7. Bookish Enamel Pins
Enamel pins featuring literary icons, book quotes, or bookish designs are small but meaningful stocking stuffers. They can be added to a jacket, backpack, or tote to showcase a love for books everywhere they go.
8. Book Light
A practical yet thoughtful stocking stuffer, a book light is perfect for readers who like to enjoy a novel at night without disturbing others. Look for compact, rechargeable options that clip onto the book.
9. Literary Socks
Keep their feet cozy with book-themed socks! Whether adorned with book spines, favorite literary quotes, or characters, these socks make for a fun and quirky stocking stuffer.
10. Personalized Bookplates
For the book collector, personalized bookplates add a touch of elegance (or is it passive aggression?) to their library. These labels can be customized with their name, ensuring their books are always returned after lending.
11. Tote Bag for Book Hauls
A stylish tote bag is a must for any bookworm who loves frequenting libraries or bookstores. Look for canvas bags with bookish quotes or images that will inspire their next reading adventure.
12. Page Markers
Unlike traditional bookmarks, page markers allow book lovers to highlight specific lines or passages in their books without damaging the pages. These sticky note-style markers are perfect stocking stuffers for book readers who like to annotate.
13. Miniature Books
Miniature notebooks are an adorable way to celebrate a beloved book. Slip one onto a keychain and your bookworm can be reminded of their favourite book wherever they go!
14. Bookish Phone Case
Help them show off their love for reading with a literary-themed phone case. Choose a design featuring classic novels, literary quotes, or images of stacked books to turn their phone into a tribute to their favourite pastime.
15. Bookish Ornaments
A book-themed Christmas ornament is a festive way to celebrate their love for reading. Whether shaped like tiny books or featuring characters from their favorite novels, ornaments make lovely stocking fillers for book lovers.
16. Literary Puzzle
For the book lover who enjoys a challenge, a literary-themed jigsaw puzzle can be the perfect way to spend time between chapters. Look for puzzles featuring classic book covers or scenes from beloved novels.
17. Bookish Stickers
Stickers featuring famous quotes, bookish artwork, or literary characters make fun stocking stuffers. Perfect for decorating journals, water bottles, or laptops, book lovers can show off their passion wherever they go.
18. Book Subscription Box
A receipt for a book subscription is a unique stocking stuffer for book lovers who are always on the lookout for their next great read. Some subscription services offer a monthly surprise book based on the recipient’s preferences. Personally, I love the “Blind Date with a Book” concept.
19. Audiobook Credits
For the reader who loves to listen on the go, gifting audiobook credits is a fantastic stocking filler. Services like Audible allow them to pick from thousands of titles and enjoy a new book wherever they are.
