Gift guides

Gifts for book lovers

Book lovers usually have more books than they can read, so these picks skip the books themselves. They're for everything that goes with reading: an e-reader that carries a whole library, a light for the night, a comfortable spot, a way to mark a good line and a place for finished books.

If you'd rather give a book, let them choose: send them our wishlist maker so they can list the titles they're waiting for. A "Surprise me" wish such as "any new mystery novel" leaves the choice to you.

"Add to my wishlist" puts the item on your WishFinch list, with no account needed. If you don't have a list yet, you'll start one. We picked well-reviewed products, mostly from well-known brands, and checked every listing on Amazon on November 6, 2026. We don't show prices because they change daily: "See on Amazon" shows today's.

  1. Kobo Clara Colour eReader (6 in, 16GB, Black)

    For the reader who wants a whole library in one bag

    A 6-inch glare-free E Ink e-reader with a color screen, so covers, comics and illustrations show in color and highlights can be color-coded. It's waterproof to IPX8, its ComfortLight PRO reduces blue light automatically, and there's a dark mode.

  2. Glocusent LED Neck Reading Light

    For the night reader with a partner who's trying to sleep

    A rechargeable light worn around the neck, with three color temperatures and two heads, each with its own switch for three brightness levels. The narrow 90-degree beam is aimed at the page, not the whole room, and the battery lasts up to 80 hours on low with one head on.

  3. Book Darts Line Markers (125-count tin, mixed metals)

    For the reader who dog-ears pages and underlines in pencil

    Small brass and stainless steel line markers that point at the exact line, not just the page. They stay in place when the book goes in a bag, are easy to spot from the edge of the book and leave no dog-ears or pencil marks. The tin holds 125.

Add what you like from this page, then paste links from any other store too. Send one link to family and friends. They see the list without signing up and mark what they're buying, so nobody gets you the same thing twice. You won't see what's been reserved, so it stays a surprise.
