Five Star Gift Ideas

For your girlfriend who loves attending book signings and author talks, why not consider a personalized and meaningful gift that combines her love for books and her passion for meeting authors?

1. Signed Book Collection: Seek out signed editions of her favorite books or popular books by authors she admires. You can check online bookstores, auction sites, or even reach out to local bookstores to see if they have any signed copies available. This will not only surprise her but also showcase your thoughtfulness in understanding her interests.

2. Author Experience: Research upcoming book signings or author events in your area or even in a city she's always wanted to visit. Purchase tickets or passes for a specific author she loves. You can also consider a meet and greet session with the author or a backstage pass experience where she gets the chance to interact with them on a more personal level.

3. Virtual Author Talk: Due to the current pandemic, many authors are now hosting virtual book talks and signings. Look out for virtual events featuring her favorite authors and get her a ticket to attend. This will not only allow her to engage with the authors in a unique way but also provide an opportunity to ask questions or have a virtual chat.

4. Bookish Subscription Box: Treat her to a monthly subscription box tailored specifically for book lovers. These boxes typically contain a surprise assortment of books, book-related accessories, bookmarks, and other literary goodies. Subscriptions like Book of the Month, OwlCrate, or Once Upon a Book Club offer different genre and theme options.

5. Bookstore Gift Card: If you are unsure about specific events or books she may be interested in, a gift card to her favorite bookstore or an independent bookstore would be a fantastic choice. This way, she can freely explore and select books or attend future signings at her leisure.

6. Personalized Bookplate: Consider getting a custom-made bookplate with her name or initials engraved on it. This can be placed inside the books she already owns or new ones she acquires. It adds a personal touch and enhances her reading experience, reminding her of your thoughtful gift every time she opens a book.

7. Literary-themed Jewelry: Show your girlfriend that you pay attention to her preferences by gifting her jewelry with literary-inspired designs. This could range from necklaces or bracelets featuring book charms, famous quotes, or symbols associated with her favorite authors.

Remember, the key is to show that you appreciate her love for attending book signings and author talks. By gifting her something related to her passion for reading, you're not only supporting her interests but also giving her a thoughtful and meaningful gift.

Or you can get her a star map with the date of your first kiss.
