While books are always a good option as a gift for a bookworm, you might be wondering what you can make for them instead. With your Cricut machine, the options are truly endless. We’ve got a mini roundup of some of our favorite gifts you can make to show your creativity and thoughtfulness while also being unique and personal.
1. Book letters
There’s something special about personalized décor! If you are throwing a nice gathering for the book lover, we were inspired to create a “pop-up book” effect with letters that spell out the celebrant’s name. This project cuts letters to make a personalized name display from old books. Just find a few discarded books that are on their last legs and cut out letters to spell a word or their name!

2. Book bag
What book lover wouldn’t be ecstatic to receive a book bag as a gift? Books can get heavy, and book bags are great for library runs or bookstore hauls. Find this Books and Stuff tote bag image in Design Space. You’ll be able to customize each book with their favorite titles!
3. Decorative books
Create these faux Pink Books display that your book lover can add to a nightstand or side table. You can customize the colors and design to match their aesthetic and what genres they love to read!
4. Bookends
These bookends make a great anniversary gift. This is a cute way to remind your partner that they are always on your mind. We used these Thinking of You Bookends design on wooden bookends for a classic look.
5. Book garland
This colorful and simple 3D Book Garland would make a great decorative piece in any room or library. This project is easy to customize with colors they love. Add their favorite book titles to further personalize it!
