Did you realize that Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away?!
If you’ve already bought or made something for your mom, then WOOOT! Sadly, I am way behind and am still searching for the perfect gifts for my mom and my mother-in-law. I realized that you all might like to see some of the cool bookworm gifts I stumbled upon while shopping this year!*
Without further ado, here they are.
E-Books
Kindle. If your bookworm has never had one, or is in desperate need of a new one, get the latest Kindle with built-in light.
Kindle Light. If the Kindle your bookworm has is still in good condition but is a version without the backlight, then spend just $6 for a Kindle light so she can read at night.
Bookends
What is your mom’s style? Get bookends that speak to her aesthetic while adding a bit of design flair to her bookshelf.
My favorites:
- Blue Gems
- Industrial
- Owls (what my momma would like!)
- Anchors (what my mom-in-law would like!)
- Silverware (great for cookbooks!)
- Wooden with Vase (adorable and customizable!)
Audio Books and e-Books
If your mom prefers to listen to her books, there are several ways to make that happen – a few of them for free!
Audible. Get two books free when you sign up for Audible! If mom likes it, you or she can pay for the monthly credit. If not, she can cancel and try another platform. https://amzn.to/2L72PjC
Library App. Does your local library have an app where you can check out eBooks on your Kindle or audiobooks for your device? Mine does, and it is AMAZING. Just like checking out physical books, the library has a certain amount of copies, you put a hold or check out the book, then you return it when you are done (or your borrow ends at the end of 21 days). To find out if your library participates, you can Google your library’s name and “app,” or reach out to your library. You do need to have an active library card to use the app, so if you do not have one currently, you will need to set that up.
Rakuten Kobo by Walmart. An audiobook platform like Audible, Kobo is another way to try audiobooks. I started with Kobo because I had a free credit. I listened to a book, canceled my subscription, then found months later that I had another credit waiting for me in my account (even though I had not paid for a subscription). Worth a try!
Book of the Month
Another subscription service, but this time with actual books. I was part of the Book of the Month for almost a year, and it was a great way to collect current best-selling novels.
Accessories
Handmake, customize, or buy special accessories that speak to your mom. Here are a few ideas:
