Book sleeves are becoming one of the most popular accessories for bookish-minded people, and for good reason!
When I got back into reading at the end of 2023, I found myself leaving the book I was reading around the house in careless places... After a nearly tragic spilt tea incident, I realised it's time to up my book-care game. Subsequently, I did a little research, coming across the idea of a 'book sleeve'... and it changed my reading life forever!
I could talk for hours about why book sleeves are the way forward, but here are my top 5 reasons a book sleeve might just become your new favourite accessory...
1. Keep your book in perfect condition!
A book sleeve is a padded pouch that keeps your book safe, secure, and comfortable. It is the unsung hero of book care, protecting our favourite collections of paper against the reckless world around it. Slipping your beloved book back into it's sleeve after you've finished reading it, means you can leave it around the house without having to worry about dog-eared pages and accidental spills! It's a no-brainer really...
2. Elevate your book game with a print that matches your personality!
Your book sleeve is not only super functional... it is also the ultimate aesthetic accessory you've been looking for! With so many pretty prints to choose from, you'll be able to find the perfect little personal bodyguard for your book that matches your personality and style!
3. The ultimate travel companion!
Look no further... you just found your passport to worry-free reading on the go! Keep your book safe in your bag without fear of damage from all your other belongings. Whether you're travelling across the world, or on your daily commute, it's padded protection ensures your book stays safe from the jostling and bumping that inevitably occurs during travel!
4. You don't 'just' have to put your books in there...
Think notepads, e-readers, post-it notes, lip-balms, earphones... the possibilities are almost endless! I like to keep a lip balm with my book, and my earphones if I'm on-the-go, as there is nothing better than a long journey with your music and your favourite book to pass the time away!
I also use a book sleeve for my work notepad... I get to keep my notepad, post-it notes, highlighters, pens, a ruler, and a lip balm altogether in the cutest little package. Not only does it keep all my essentials together in one place, it also makes my work book look much prettier than it actually is...
Here are just some extras you could keep in there:
books, notepads, diaries, journals, to-do-lists, medical journals, habit trackers, e-readers, pens, rulers, highlighters, calculator, lip balms, earphones etc...
5. The perfect gift idea for your bookish friends!
Book sleeves are the ultimate go-to gift for your fellow book-loving friends! You can choose a thoughtful gift that matches their style and personality, adding that extra personal touch to it. Many book sleeves come with matching accessories, like hair accessories etc... So you can create the perfect little gift set for your loved one!
AND...
If physical books aren't your thing... E-reader sleeves exist too! Whilst you can absolutely use your book sleeve for your e-reader... A sleeve tailored purely for e-readers give a better fit and a more secure feel!
