For the book-obsessed mom, time spent reading is precious and most likely hard to find. If what she really wants for Mother’s Day is some time with a book, treat her to a reading escape with gifts that make the event even more special. Whether she loves romance or true crime, audiobooks or paper, she’s bound to appreciate these book-related gifts this Mother’s Day.
It can be challenging to shop for Mother's Day, but if she loves books, the possibilities are as endless as her to-read list. She’ll be thrilled to receive a title from her wish list or a personalized recommendation you think she’ll enjoy from a genre you both love.
Consider gifts that help her enjoy not just the book, but reading itself. A book light can help her wind down and read in bed without disrupting a partner. A reading pillow, throw pillow or club chair help create a comfortable space to read. Literary-inspired teas or candles add an extra layer of sensory enjoyment to a reading session.
For an especially meaningful gift, treat her to an e-reader or new furniture for her beloved books. Fresh bookshelves or bookends help keep things organized while also providing beautiful display opportunities for her books. An e-reader, such as a Kindle or Kobo, can help expand her library beyond what bookshelves can hold, with the added advantage of portability. Some e-readers are waterproof and feature screens that can be read outdoors at the park or the beach.
Whatever you decide to get her, make the gift really count by ensuring she has time to enjoy it. Take any chores or child-care duties off her plate for the day and let her put her feet up with her favorite book and her new gift.
