Buying a gift for a book lover sounds easy, but in practice it is anything but. A book? Chances are it is already on their pile. A gift card? Sweet, but not very surprising. So what do you give someone who would rather read all day? Simple: something that makes reading even more enjoyable.
Why a reading pillow makes such a good gift
Every avid reader knows the problem: half lying in bed with a book that gets too heavy, pillows that sink away and a neck that protests. A reading pillow solves exactly that. The Bline reading pillow measures 65 x 45 x 50 cm, is filled with memory foam that moulds to the body, and has armrests that support the book or tablet. The side pocket holds a book, glasses and phone. In short: a gift that gets used every day.
A good reason for every occasion
- Sinterklaas: a surprisingly big package for gift night: anyone who reads a lot in bed will be thoroughly spoiled with this comfortable present
- Christmas: give cosiness as a gift: together with a blanket and a good book underneath, it is the ultimate winter package
- Birthday: more personal than a gift card, and with five colours there is always one that suits the birthday person
- Mother's Day: the perfect excuse for mum to finally read undisturbed for an hour, with her tea within reach in the side pocket
- Just because: for the partner who lies next to you every evening, shuffling pillows with a book in hand
Make it personal with colour
The reading pillow is available in white, beige, blue, grey and black. Choose the colour that matches the recipient's bedroom or living room. Not sure? Grey and beige go with almost anything. Want to go all out? Add a second cover: when you buy a pillow, you get 33% off the cover. That way the lucky recipient can switch whenever the laundry is running or the interior changes. Complete the package with a beautiful bookmark or the latest book by a favourite author, and your gift is perfect.

- Removable cover made of 250TC cotton, washable at 30 degrees
