Mother's Day is right around the corner, so it's time to start thinking about what you're going to give your mom this holiday. I've picked out 25 perfect Mother's Day gifts for bookish moms below, so if your mother loves books more than she loves people, I've got you covered.
U.S. observances of Mother's Day date back to the early 20th century, when Anna Jarvis decided to honor the charitable and giving memory of her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, with a holiday. Mother's Day became a national holiday in 1914, and it has been celebrated on the second Sunday in May every year since.
Although Anna Jarvis wasn't happy with the commercialization of Mother's Day, it's become a longstanding tradition to give mom a thoughtful gift each year in May. If you aren't creatively inclined, or if you just don't have time to make your mother a special gift, any of the 30 bookish gifts on the list below would make a perfect token of your filial affection. Best of all, they're all priced at less than $50, so you can find something here to honor mom without breaking the bank.
