If you’re looking for meaningful, screen-free gifts for your child, book-related presents are a wonderful way to nurture imagination and build a lifelong love of reading. Whether your child is already a bookworm or just beginning their reading journey, with a little thought, you can plan a gift they’ll enjoy.
1. Personalised Storybooks
Children love seeing themselves as the hero of the story. Personalised books - where the characters share your child’s name, appearance, and even hometown - make reading feel magical. These books also become keepsakes your child will treasure for years to come.
2. Book Series Starter Packs
A great way to keep kids engaged is to introduce them to a captivating series. For early readers, consider options like the Baby Alien Stole My Teacher series, the 13-StoryTree House, Mr Gum, The Bolds, or The Bad Guys. For more confident readers, series such as Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon or Percy Jackson can open up worlds of adventure.
3. A Cosy Reading Nook Kit
Encouraging a love of reading often starts with creating the right environment. Gift your child a reading-nook starter set including: a soft beanbag or floor cushion, a warm blanket, a small bookshelf, and a fun themed lamp or string lights. This gives your child a special space where they’ll be excited to curl up with a good book.
4. Fun and Functional Book Accessories
Small accessories always make a cute addition to a stocking. Consider:
These simple items look forward to their reading experience.
5. Activity Books and Interactive Journals
Not all reading has to involve traditional stories. Puzzle books, comic-making kits, and reading journals help develop vocabulary, creativity and writing skills. A reading log or book-review journal is especially great for encouraging reflection and boosting comprehension.
6. Bookshop or Library Adventure Coupons
Sometimes the best gifts are experiences. Create coupons for a special trip to the bookshop, the local library,or a ‘choose any book you want’ day. These outings create positive associations with reading and give your child a sense of independence.
From personalised adventures to at-home reading spaces, book-related gifts can spark imagination, build confidence, and help your child fall in love with reading.
