Best Gifts for Book Lovers in Ireland
Buying for someone who always has a book on the go? The best gifts for book lovers don't have to mean choosing another novel and hoping they haven't already read it.
From a monthly book subscription to a hamper for a quiet night of reading, there are plenty of ways to surprise a reader. Here are some of our favourite gift ideas for book lovers in Ireland.
1. A Monthly Book Subscription
For someone who loves discovering new books, a Monthly Book Subscription gives them something new to look forward to every month.
Choose their preferred reading genre and we'll select a brand-new book, add Irish chocolate and a gift from an Irish brand, and prepare everything here in Waterford.
And if we ever choose a book they've already read, let us know and we'll include an extra book in their next subscription at no additional cost.
2. A Book Lover Gift Hamper
Sometimes you want a present they can open and enjoy straight away.
Our Book Lover Gift Hampers pair a new book with treats and extras for a relaxing night in.
It's a great choice for birthdays, thank-you gifts or simply sending something lovely to the reader in your life.
3. Create Your Own Gift Hamper
If you know them well, why not Create Your Own Gift Hamper?
Choose the contents yourself and build a gift around the things you know they'll enjoy. You can combine a book with chocolate, treats and other gifts to make really special to them.
This is one of our favourite options when you're looking for a more personal book lover gift.
4. A Book Every Month
Some readers really do just want more books.
Our A Book a Month subscription keeps things simple: choose how long you'd like the gift to last and we'll send a book every month.
It's a particularly good present for readers who don't need the chocolate and additional gifts included in our other subscriptions.
5. Let Them Choose for Themselves
If their bookshelves are already overflowing or you're unsure what to choose, a The Book Resort Gift Card lets them choose something for themselves.
Gift cards are available in different values, making this an easy option when you know they love books but aren't quite sure which gift they'd prefer.
6. A Gift Hamper for a Night of Reading
A book doesn't have to be the entire present.
Chocolate, candles, skincare, treats and other little luxuries can turn an evening with a good book into something even better.
You can browse all our gift hampers to find something that suits the person, occasion and budget. The collection also includes the Book Lover Gift alongside a much wider range of one-off hampers.
What Is a Good Gift for Someone Who Loves Reading?
A good gift for a book lover doesn't necessarily mean choosing a particular title yourself.
A book subscription is a great option for someone who enjoys discovering new books, while a book hamper combines reading with treats they can enjoy at the same time. If you'd rather choose the contents yourself, creating your own hamper gives you more control.
And when you're really not sure, a gift card lets the reader make the final decision.
What If I Don't Know What Books They've Already Read?
You don't need a complete inventory of their bookshelf before buying them a book subscription.
Choose the genre they enjoy and we'll take care of selecting the books. With our Monthly Book Subscription, if we send something they've already read, let us know and we'll include an extra book in their next subscription.
