Book Lover Gift FAQs

What is a good gift for someone who loves reading?

A good gift for someone who loves reading depends on how well you know their taste in books. If you know exactly what they like, a particular book can be a great choice. If you're less certain, one of our gifts for book lovers, a book hamper or a book subscription gives you more flexibility and makes the present about more than one individual title.

What can I buy a book lover if I don't know what they've already read?

If they read a lot, choosing one particular book can be difficult because there's always a chance they already own it. A book hamper, subscription or gift built around their love of reading can make choosing easier. Our guide to what to get someone who reads a lot when you don't know what they've already read looks at the different options in more detail.

What is a good birthday gift for a book lover?

If they always have a book on the go, a book hamper or book subscription can make a great birthday gift. A hamper gives them something special to open on the day, while a subscription gives them new books and treats to look forward to after their birthday too. You can also browse our Birthday Gifts for more ideas.

Are book subscriptions good gifts for avid readers?

Yes, particularly for someone who always has a book on the go. Instead of receiving everything on one day, a subscription gives them something new to look forward to. Our Book Subscriptions include flexible monthly options as well as subscriptions that can be paid for in advance when you're buying one as a gift.

Gifts for Readers and Book Lovers in Ireland

Finding a gift for someone who loves reading can be surprisingly difficult. They may already own the latest bestseller, have a favourite genre you know very little about, or simply get through books faster than you can keep track of them.

Our gifts for book lovers are designed to make choosing a little easier. From book hampers and gift boxes to subscriptions that keep arriving long after the occasion, there are options for both occasional readers and people who always have a book on the go.

Book Hampers & Gift Boxes for Readers

A book hamper is a lovely choice when you want to give someone more than a single book. Our gift boxes combine reading with treats and gifts, giving them something substantial to open and enjoy.

They work particularly well for birthdays, celebrations or simply sending a surprise to someone who deserves one. You can explore our full range of gift boxes, or browse Birthday Gifts if you're shopping for their birthday.

A Book Subscription That Keeps Arriving

If you're buying for someone who reads all the time, a book subscription turns one present into something they can continue enjoying.

Our Book Subscriptions include flexible monthly options as well as subscriptions that can be paid for in advance when you're giving one as a gift. Choose the kind of books they enjoy and we'll take care of selecting the individual titles.

What If You Don't Know Which Books They've Already Read?

This is one of the hardest parts of buying for an avid reader.

If you know exactly which book they want, buying that book may be the simplest answer. But if they read constantly and you have no idea what's already on their bookshelf, choosing a gift built around reading rather than relying on one particular title can make things easier.

For a more detailed look at the different options, read our guide to what to get someone who reads a lot when you don't know what they've already read.

Looking for a Smaller Bookish Gift?

Not every present needs to be a large hamper or subscription. If you're looking for a smaller gift for a reader, explore our Bookish Gifts for journals, notebooks, bookmarks, stationery and other little gifts for people who love books.

Sending a Gift to a Book Lover in Ireland

You can order online and have your gift sent directly to the person you're buying for. Add their address as the shipping address and include your personal message for their card.

This is particularly useful when you can't be there for the occasion yourself. If you're ordering from another country, our guide to sending a gift to someone in Ireland when you live abroad explains how it works.

Not Sure What to Buy?

If you know they love reading but you're still deciding between a book hamper, subscription or another reader gift, our Best Gifts for Book Lovers in Ireland guide compares some of the different options.

Or simply browse the gifts above and choose the one that feels most like them.
