Great Mother’s Day Gifts for Moms Who Love to Read

If your Mom is a certified bibliophile, she will love these reading-related gifts. Most are affordable without being cheap: all will show your Mom how much you care about her. This Mother’s Day, surprise Mom with one or more of these gifts.

• A gift card to Mom’s favorite book store sounds tempting, but if you live nearby (or are visiting on or near Mother’s Day) why not take her there yourself? Spend the day book shopping with Mom. She’ll adore the books that you buy for her, but they’ll be second to the time that she gets to spend with you.

• Another great way to spend time with your Mom is to take her to a literary event in the area. Maybe one of her favorite authors is signing books at a local store. The library should have information on any upcoming events in your Mom’s area.

• If your Mom would appreciate a little help holding those stiff, new books while she’s reading them, swing by bookmatestore.com and check out their BookMates. These book holders come in all sorts of sizes and colors. Pick up one for Mom’s hardbacks, another for her paperbacks…and one for yourself while you’re there.

• Give your Mom a lamp for her favorite reading spot – or buy extra bulbs for the one that she already has, if applicable.

• A gift or renewal subscription to Mom’s favorite magazine is a thoughtful present that she can appreciate for a full year.

• Even people who prefer making gifts to buying them can find something special for Mom this year. If she’s short on storage space for all of her books, you can build her some bookshelves.

• On the flip side: if you’re not a carpenter, you can take your Mom shopping for shelves. Don’t forget bookends!

• Does your Mom love the local library? Consider making a donation in her name. That will help expand the library’s book shelves, which will make your Mom a happy woman!

• Assemble a “reader’s bag” for your Mom. Find a nice bag that Mom can use to take her books to and from the library (or anywhere else, for that matter). Fill it with smaller gifts: bookmarks, book store gift cards and the current issue of her favorite magazine.

• If your Mom is like many other readers, she probably enjoys word games. If she’s computer savvy, you can pick up some of her favorite word games on CD-ROM. You can find everything from crossword puzzles to Scrabble and Boggle.

• Even if your Mom’s not into computers, you can still add to her collection of word games. Buy her a subscription to her favorite crossword-puzzle magazine.
