The perfect book gift idea for the book lover in your life! Printables include 16 different genres plus blanks so you can add your own!

Where are my Book Lovers at? Fun fact- I worked at two libraries! I love books! And I would love to get this gift! The gift of giving books is so much fun- So grab these cute library card-themed gift tags to attach to any book for the perfect present! Wrap them all up and put a card with each one with the genre or just use these as a cute gift tag!
I have a couple of different printables- so you can choose between wrapping books up by the genre, giving your favorite books, and I even included some plain ones so you can write in your own!

(This gift is for my niece! So the books are more teenage-themed! You can adapt for any age!)
Supplies to use with FREE Printables
- My Favorite scissors
- Library card Printable (Down below)
- Hole punch
- Bakers Twine (great for tying on the printables!)
- Wrapping paper
- BOOKS!
I did hit up the thrift store to snag as many books I could. Then I went to the bookstore to grab two new books to include in the mix!

How to use these free printables
Printing them out
If you are looking for a great printer to use – I love my HP! I wrote up a whole post why The reasons I love the printer. This post also shows how you can make sure you are getting the best prints by adjusting your settings!

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PRINTER: You can also upload the files to staples or office max and have them print them! Sometimes the local library has a printer for public use!
Cutting out the printables:
I love Fiskars! Nice sharp scissors or paper cutters will get you the best-looking edges! Almost 90% of the time use my Paper Trimmer to get nice straight cuts! It just looks so much more professional!
I have lots of different genre’s and themes so just cut out the ones that you want!

Wrapping the books:
The tricky part is not forgetting what books are what once you wrap them! I wrap one and immediately add the library tag on it!

Attaching the printable:
You can also punch a hole in the corner and run some ribbon or baker’s twine through it to wrap around the book.

Book-themed gifts:
- heart shaped bookmarks
- book-themed sticker set
- Magnetic bookmarks
- Library book bag (You could put all the wrapped books inside!)
You can add a few fun things to this book gift! Here are some we snagged:

I’ve been trying to find the link for these printable genre cards but one of the links lead me there. Even when I click on the image that says get the download here, nothing happens. I would love to use these cards in my school library for a week of “Don’t judge a book by the cover” with my students. Please let me know if you can help.
