As you might soon notice, I prefer to give and receive practical gifts.
Replacement Batteries for E-Readers
Depending on the type of e-reader one uses and how often one uses it, the batteries for them may only last a couple of months. It’s always a good idea to have a spare battery or two in case a device cuts out.
Waterproof Cases
Reading in the bathtub is one of my favourite self-care activities after a hard day. This is a much more relaxing activity if your phone, e-reader, or other device won’t be ruined if you accidentally drop it in the tub!
Tea
I feel like I talk about tea every time the topic of bookish gifts comes up!
This is a great idea because it is a consumable present and fits all sorts of dietary restrictions.
Bookmarks
When I read paper books, I sometimes need to scrounge around for things like old receipts to use as bookmarks. Actual bookmarks tend to be much nicer to look at!
Good points! I hadn’t thought about the waterproof cases. Smart. (especially if you’re somewhere where it rains *g*)
For sure. 🙂
Tea over coffee for me!

I use to put my Nook in a ziplock baggie for the tub 😀
LOL! I do the same thing.
These are very practical, so very useful. Love the idea of waterproof cases for bath reading.
Thank you!
I’m surprised by how many are mentioning tea. I’m a lover of many types of tea and didn’t think of it. Thanks for coming by.
You’re welcome. It’s cool that you also enjoy tea. Yeah, I was surprised by how many of us came up with that idea, too!
Mmmm, tea. It really does seem to be the perfect non-book gift for readers.
🙂
I have a number of leftover cards that I use for bookmarks – things from games that are mostly lost, a few little art cards, and like that.
And of course Tea is always a good answer. Doesn’t even matter what the question was.
My answers are here – thanks for stopping by!
You’re welcome. Cards seem like they’d make great bookmarks!
I agree on the bookmarks. I can never find one when I want one.
🙂
Yes, bookmarks!
