Best gifts for book lovers to buy in 2023
Kindle Oasis
The Oasis is the latest and most advanced model in the Kindle range. It comes packed with a load of useful features for readers, like a warm light that's friendly on the eyes and E Ink technology, to emulate the appearance of a real book.
The Kindle Oasis is also waterproof with an IPX8 rating, which should allow the device to survive even after being submerged deeper than 1 metre. It's also audio-compatible, so you can stream any audiobooks through Audible straight to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones.
Personalised Book Subscription
There aren't many gifts better suited to a book worm than a subscription of gift-wrapped books delivered straight to their door. The book, sent monthly, is handpicked by The Beautiful Book Company's literary experts.
You can send a personalised gift message and a welcome pack, and you're able to set the length of the subscription. There's also an option to swap out any received books if they've already read them!
