So you're drawing a blank on what to get them, and you are stressing out about it! If this person is in love with all things books but know they have too many stories to read and you do not want to make that 'to be read' pile any bigger than it is, try these cute little last minute gifts for your book lover!

1. Bookish Candles

There are a few shoppes on Esty that have amazing bookish candles. If you want your house or your room to smell like Hogwarts, these are the candles for you.

3. Funko Pop Figures

This does not have to be just for book lovers, Funko has every character from every fandom imaginable! They are fun to have and cool to look at. You can get them anywhere from Amazon to Barnes and Noble!

4. Bookish Mugs

I don't know any book lover that does not love to drink tea, coffee, or hot cocoa while they read so get a big mug with a cute quote on it. I am sure your book lover will be obsessed with it! Recommended shoppes on Etsy: HomeDecorDrawing, LattesAndLibraries

5. Bookmarks

The one thing all book lovers hate most are dog eared pages. HolgaArt makes the best bookmarks anyone has ever seen. This is the best gift you can give anyone!

6. Adult coloring books

Adult coloring books have been the big craze in the bookish community. Authors are now coming out with their own coloring books based off of their novels. This is a really cute idea for any lover of a fandom and they get to color really cool pictures that were inspired by their favorite scenes in their favorite book! You can purchase these items on Amazon or Barnes and Noble!

All right, there you have it! Now you have ideas to give to your favorite book lover for Christmas. I am positive they will love every single one of these gifts so whatever you give them, they will love unconditionally!

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s).
