For your mom who loves collecting antique books or manuscripts, you can consider getting her a gift that complements her passion and helps enhance her collection. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for her birthday:

1. Rare First Edition: Find a rare first edition of one of her favorite authors or a book that holds sentimental value. This would be a special addition to her collection and a true treasure to cherish.

2. Custom Bookplates: Personalize her book collection with custom bookplates. You can have them designed with her name or initials and a special message. This would give her collection a personal touch and make her feel proud of her books.

3. Antique Book Stand: Choose an elegant and antique book stand that she can use to display her favorite books. It not only serves as a functional gift but also adds a decorative element to her collection, allowing her to showcase her prized possessions.

4. Literary Map: Consider getting her a literary map that showcases different locations from her favorite classic books or authors. This would be a unique and artistic gift that she can hang on her wall and admire while she spends time among her book collection.

5. Book Restoration Service: If your mom has some old books that require restoration, consider gifting her a professional book restoration service. This would be a thoughtful and practical gift that will help preserve her beloved collection for years to come.

6. Book Subscription Box: Sign her up for a book subscription box that delivers rare or antique books to her doorstep on a regular basis. This way, she can discover and add new gems to her collection without having to search for them herself.

7. Bookish Jewelry: Look for jewelry pieces that are inspired by literature, such as a necklace with a tiny book pendant or earrings featuring famous quotes. These unique accessories will allow her to showcase her love for books wherever she goes.

8. Personal Library Embosser: Gift her a personalized library embosser that she can use to leave her mark on her books. It adds an extra touch of elegance and uniqueness to her collection, making her books truly her own.

Remember to consider your mom's specific interests and tastes when choosing a gift. Whether it's a rare book, a beautiful book accessory, or a service to help maintain her collection, she will appreciate the thought and effort that went into finding a gift that aligns with her passion for collecting antique books and manuscripts.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
