Cooler weather, longer evenings, and the return of tea-fuelled reading marathons? It must be autumn. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a fellow book lover (or just want to treat yourself to something cosy), we’ve rounded up five literary favourites that are ideal for the season.
Each of these bookish gifts brings a little warmth, comfort, and story-loving energy — perfect for those slow, golden afternoons with a blanket and a brew.
1. Green Gables Literary Candle – Pumpkin Spice for Book Lovers
Inspired by Anne of Green Gables, this candle is autumn in a jar. Notes of sweet pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and ginger make it feel like a hug from your favourite book.
Hand-poured in the UK using vegan soy wax, it’s perfect for classic lit fans, slow Sunday readers, and anyone who thinks October is the best month of the year.
2. C.S. Lewis Quote Print – Tea and Long Books
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
This warm, relatable quote is printed onto a real vintage book page and framed in-house at our UK studio. It's a lovely bit of wall art for anyone whose autumn plans involve tea, long reads, and staying in. The frame can stand on a shelf or hang neatly — no glass, just the beautiful texture of the original page.
3. Reading in a Café – Bookish Art Print
A quiet autumn moment, illustrated. This A4 or A3 print captures the joy of café reading: coffee, pastry, and a good book. Hand-drawn by our in-house team in a muted brown palette, it’s a thoughtful gift for readers who romanticise the small things — or want to bring a little bookish calm to their walls.
4. Classic Book Monthly Subscription
A classic book, a hot drink, and something lovely in the post — what more could you want? This monthly subscription includes a classic novel in a beautifully designed dust jacket, plus your choice of tea or coffee. It’s our most popular subscription, and the rolling option means no upfront commitment: just cosy, recurring joy for the autumn months and beyond.
5. French Cat and Books Mug – “Each Book, an Infinite Adventure”
With a simple olive-green illustration and a quiet French slogan ,this is the kind of mug that begs to be paired with a blanket and a paperback. Dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand-washing to keep the colours looking their best. A thoughtful gift for bookworms, cat lovers, and those who believe that every chapter holds an adventure.
