Gift Basket Ideas for Readers
You might be having trouble coming up with gifts for your friends who love to read, so consider some gift basket ideas. Obviously, people who enjoy reading love books, so books should be the basis of your gift baskets. Include the latest hardcover edition by her favorite author, or the latest release in a genre the reader enjoys. If your recipient is into poetry, be sure to include some poetry collections. Such books can be found in any bookstore.
Other gift basket ideas for readers include old books. Scour used book stores, garage sales, and thrift stores for old books. You might be pretty impressed with what you find. In fact, I’ve found several first editions in our local thrift store, and I was able to purchase them for about one dollar each.
What does your reader friend do while reading? Many people enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee while reading, so with this in mind, you could include some gourmet coffees and teas in the gift basket, along with an insulated cup or mug.
Don’t forget the book markers! You can find all sorts of cool bookmarks in book stores and boutiques. Choose a few that match your recipient’s interests. For example, if she enjoys gardening, select book marks adorned with flowers. You might also want to include a monogrammed bookmark.
