When I have an extended amount of time to read, there are a few things I like to have in hand before and while I settle down with my book of choice.
For example, I love to have a warm blanket, a cup of tea, and maybe some classical or jazz music playing softly in the background or through my earbuds.
Every reader is different so the reader in your life may have different preferences but here are eight cozy and comfy gift ideas for the reader in your life.

- Tea mugs or cups with covers
I love to sip tea while I am reading a book, but I really love to not have to keep getting up to warm up my tea. That’s when something like this item would come in handy:
It is so cute, for one, plus that convenient lid. Love the idea! There are tons of items like this for sale right now on Amazon.
You can also find covers like these to add to a mug you already have:
If you don’t need or want a cover for your tea or cocoa, then this is a cute idea:
2. A cozy blanket or quilt
Another wonderful idea to go with that mug of tea, cocoa, or coffee is a beautiful, cozy blanket.
Oh my goodness. This blanket looks perfect to cuddle up under to read a good book and can go right in your gift basket for your reader.

Here is another option:
|| Bedsure Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket for Couch ||
Oh and I love this one and especially the price (at least when I first posted it)
||Inhand Fleece Throw Blanket||
3. Fuzzy, warm socks
To go along with the blanket, you need some fuzzy socks. I would love these to put on on a cold winter night and cuddle in front of the fire in our woodstove with a good book and my tea.

Some more socks that I love the look of! (not just saying that for this post. Ha!)

4. Booklight
A good book light is very important if the lighting where you are isn’t super strong. I have a book light similar to this one here but this one has three settings, a timer, and comes with six magnetic bookmarks. I have some magnetic bookmarks from a different company and I really love them. They stay in place and don’t slip out like other, paper bookmarks.
The book light hooks easily onto the back or front of your book. It is also rechargeable and features a USB port that can be charged in a computer or by plugging into a block that plugs into a wall.

5. Book-related stickers
Okay, these are not necessarily a need for a good reading session but they are a great gift for the reader in your life for the simple fact they are cute.
I love these stickers. I totally want them and they are perfect for the reader who also likes to journal, keep scrapbooks or stick stickers on various things for fun. This might be perfect for young readers as well.

I also love these stickers:
6. Highlighters or book tabs
If your reader is a person who likes to mark their favorite passages in their favorite books but don’t want to mark up the pages with highlighters there are these:
|| Transparent Sticky Notes,Clear Waterproof 3 x 3 inch ||
7. Headphones/earbuds
I love to listen to jazz or classical music when I read and having a good pair of headphones or earbuds helps to keep the background noise out so I can just concentrate on reading.
|| JBL Tune Flex – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds ||
I use this brand myself and love the variety they have.
|| JBL Endurance Race Waterproof True Wireless Active Sport Earbuds ||
And
|| BL1 JBL LIVE 300 – Premium True Wireless Headphone ||
8. Reading Journal
I love a good reading journal. I made one for myself but also love looking at ones pre-made. I haven’t picked one out yet but have a few in my wish list.
Here are a couple I picked:
|| Elegant Reading Journal – Review and Track Your Reading
Progress with 60 Book Reviews ||
Or
|| Book Journal – Reading Journals For Book Lovers ||
Those are some of my ideas for the readers in your family. Keep your eyes peeled (like not literally because … gross) because I plan to do another one of these. I have so many ideas for things I – ahem, I mean, readers would love to have.
Feel free to add the items you like to have when you are reading (besides a good book) in the comments.
