Valentine’s Day is coming up, and the pressure is on for many to get the perfect gift for their favorite bookworms. Those book lovers have favorite tropes, multiple book spouses, and romance author obsessions. Maybe they love a slow burn, or an enemies-to-lovers, or they’re falling deep into the newly booming romantasy genre. When someone is obsessed with romance, spice, and everything in between, it can be hard to meet expectations when an annual day centered on all-things-love comes around.
So you might be nervous about finding something that really makes them happy. But you’ve done everything you need to do: you’ve come to me. I’ve assembled a list of excellent gifts for your favorite romance-obsessed bookworm, whether you’re looking for something small or something big, something to decorate their shelves or for them to wear while reading. I’ve combed Etsy for things handmade and crafted, designed, and carefully stitched. Give them a Sarah J. Maas perfume, a collection of new enamel pins, or a delicate bookish locket. No matter what or how they read, there will be something on this list they’ll love.
So this is it. Need the perfect romantic gifts for your favorite romance-obsessed Valentine? Here are some suggestions that will make your Valentine’s Day, birthday, anniversary, or anything in between go very smoothly, and that will make your bookworm swoon!
