9. Gift cards
Gift cards for books work well if you’ve run out of gift-giving time. We’re all so busy, and holidays can creep upon us. A gift card from Amazon or Barnes and Noble is the perfect gift and can be delivered digitally if you can’t be together for Father’s Day. The best part: You can buy them in any denomination starting from just $1.
10. One of the best budget-friendly gifts for readers is a unique bookmark that celebrates their personal style.
Storiarts features a variety of leather bookmarks your dad is sure to appreciate. This laser-etched, flexible Edgar Allan Poe quote bookmark will mark his page in style. If the horror genre isn’t your guys’ thing, check out the entire selection of Storiarts leather bookmarks to find his perfect match.
Or better yet, have the kids make dad a custom bookmark that he’ll cherish forever.
11. Help your multitasking dad read hands-free.
In a video of the Top 5 Gifts for Readers, Book Beau co-founder Arel Avellino explained the benefits of Page Anchor.
“When you’re trying to hold open the book and maybe you have a beverage you’re trying to enjoy, it can be a challenge to enjoy your book with multiple hand things going on,” Avellino said in the video. “A page anchor slides in the page, keeps your book open so you can comfortably hold your book while also enjoying a delightful beverage.”
12. Make reading easy and less disruptive at night. If Dad enjoys reading into the wee hours of the morning, a book light is a perfect gift.
This LED neck reading light will let him adjust the brightness and is rechargeable for convenience.

Finally, in keeping with the book theme, if you’re looking for a fun DIY handmade Father’s Day gift idea from the kids, this Love Book from Mommy Snippets is a special gift for Dad or Grandpa. With a few easy-to-find supplies, your kids can get to work creating something that will be treasured for years to come.
“What makes this a memorable gift is it’s 100% personalized and hand-made with love by the kids,” wrote Marina, Mommy Snippets publisher and family lifestyle influencer.
