Your Ultimate TikTok Shop Gift Guide for Book Lovers in 2025
This year’s feeling a bit different. Budgets are tighter, the world feels like it’s on fire most days, and you might be, like me, finding it hard to stop doom scrolling for hours. But you still want the perfect gift for the book lover in your life, or maybe a bit of retail therapy for yourself, so I’ve done the hard work for you, and compiled the best bookish finds on TikTok Shop (don’t worry, if you’re not on TikTok, I mean, you should be, but I’ll be putting together my fifth annual general bookish gift guide as well! Stay tuned.). Since TikTok Shop is still a relatively new shopping platform, they sometimes offer the absolute best Black Friday deals stacked on top of retailer’s discounts, that you can take advantage of to maximize savings. There are stunning special edition hardcovers with sprayed edges you can get directly from the publishers (some are splurges and some are insanely cheap!), lots of epic fantasy and romantasy, super chic aesthetic annotation supplies, beautiful rotating bookshelves, and even bookish home decor. I’ll be updating the list during the next week as more Sales come available, so make sure to bookmark this article and check back for the latest updates to the list!
Please note: because of frequent flash sales, prices fluctuate often, so they may be less or more than what’s listed below.
