Wedding gifts for book lovers

It's wedding season!

Summer weddings are always lovely, but gifts are a dilemma if there happens to be no wedding list or you're on a budget. I was inspired by an article I saw on Buzzfeed about literature-themed weddings. So, here are my recommendations for presents to give to the book-loving couples you know.

With any couple getting hitched, crockery is usually on the list for a new home (or an updated one). Why not get them a set of mugs to make their mornings that bit better?


Featuring Jack Kerouac, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice and Lord of the Rings
Or go full out with Whittards lovely Alice in Wonderland collection

Other homewares include these fantastic candles, which are perfect for snuggling up with and creating an atmosphere for reading:

If their house is already full, jewellery or cufflinks are always a nice touch:

Pride and prejudice bangle, happily ever after necklace and book cufflinks

 Alternatively, one of the best gifts for any book lover is a first edition (or just really old) version of their favourite book. You can buy a set or just a single volume. Etsy and Ebay are great places to start, but there are lots of book stores specialising in first and second editions too!



Finally, if you don't have the money for a gift but would still like to contribute to the wedding day, why not splash out on some confetti made from the pages of Romeo and Juliet:

Books are such romantic things!
