4. Amazon.com eGift Card
If you think you can just simply shop for books and can get all of them right then, you’d be sorely mistaken. Books are a personal matter that needs to be dealt with in person. You can’t simply buy any book and expect the recipient to read it gleefully. Sure, they’d read it just for the heck of it, but they wouldn’t engross themselves in it because they might have something else on their reading list. We recommend going for the gift card route, which would allow your loved ones to shop for themselves. This way, you don’t have to worry about getting the wrong book unless, of course, they have stated what title they want.

The great thing about this book light is that it’s designed to be non-intrusive, meaning that you can just put it in place once and then forget about it and stay focused on whatever you’re reading – turn pages with ease and even adjust the light according to your needs!
6. I’m Reading – Box Sign
