Looking for the perfect present that says “I saw this and thought of you (and your reading habits)”? Whether it’s for a birthday, a thank-you, or just because, we’ve rounded up six thoughtful, bookish gifts — all under £20. Ideal for readers, tea drinkers, and anyone who can’t resist “just one more chapter.”
Here’s our pick of affordable literary treats, big on charm and small on price.
1. Classic of the Month Club – Past Boxes
A one-off parcel of literary joy. These single-box editions of our popular Classic of the Month subscription include a beautifully covered classic book, a pouch of themed tea or coffee, and a matching bookmark.
No commitment, just a cosy treat — and a lovely way to dip your toes into the world of bookish subscriptions.
Quantities are limited, so once a title’s gone, it’s gone.
2. Pemberley Literary Candle – Pride and Prejudice Inspired
A warm and romantic candle inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. With notes of pear, rose, amber, and patchouli, this vegan soy wax candle is hand-poured in the UK and smells like your favourite classic novel brought to life.
Ideal for lovers of literature, ambience, and a good old-fashioned slow burn.
3. Book Lover’s Tea Set Gift
Four packets of literary-themed teas, carefully selected and packed inside a reusable cotton pouch. Each blend has a bookish twist and is supplied by our friends at Jenier World of Teas. The perfect gift for anyone who loves books and brews in equal measure.
4. “Too Many Books?” Book Lover Mug
“Too many books, or not enough bookshelves?” (We all know the answer.)
This relatable quote mug is a great little gift for bookworms who are proud of their ever-growing collections. Printed on both sides and hand-pressed in our studio. You can even add a pack of literary tea to complete the set.
5. “Just One More Chapter” Tote Bag
Part of our Bookish Era Collection, this sturdy cotton tote features a bold retro design and a quote every reader can relate to. Great for library hauls, weekend errands, or just declaring your priorities to the world. Simple, strong, and very bookish.
