Although a good book is still the absolute best of all gifts for book lovers, there are many other great gifts that you may want to consider giving. In fact, there are a plethora of great gifts for book lovers out there, if you simply know what to look for.

Here are some of my favorite gifts for book lovers. Wrap them up and give them alone, or pair them with a great book:

Fountain pen. Although perhaps cliché, it seem that many book lovers also love to write. A fountain pen is an excellent gift. Include multiple cartridges along with it. Even get it engraved! This is an especially good gift if you know someone who cannot help but write in the margins of books!
Bookmark. There are many different styles of bookmarks out there. Bookmarks make great gifts for book lovers. Besides, think of how many page corners you will save by giving a good bookmark – the book lover will no longer have to puppy-dog ear the pages!
Bookends. It is possible to find bookends that are just as beautiful as they are useful. Find bookend that match the recipient's home décor.
Book stamp. A book stamp allows a reader to personalize all of his or her books in his or her home library.
Book light. It is most certainly not good for your eyes to read in the dark or even in dim light. But as you know, many readers will continue to do so. Therefore, a book light makes an excellent gift for book lovers. There are book lights that clip directly onto books as well as ones that clip onto beds and also many other styles.
Bookstand. Find one that can accommodate many different sizes of books, as well as magazines and newspapers. It is also best to find a bookstand that can be set at different angles and stored away with ease.
Magnifier. This is a great gift for anyone whose eyesight is not quite what it used to be.
Book opener. It can be hard to keep a book, especially a new book, open without having to constantly hold down a page. A book opener is therefore a very useful tool and great gift for book lovers. There are book openers that clip the pages open as well s weighted book openers that you can lay across the pages to keep them open.
A gift certificate to a bookstore. If you do not know just which book or book accessory to give, let the recipient choose for him or herself! Give a gift certificate to a local bookstore.
A gift certificate to a coffee shop. It can be so relaxing to take a good book and sit in a good coffee shop to read it. Therefore, a gift certificate to a local coffee shop (especially one near a library or bookstore) is an excellent gift for book lovers.
