The post 100 Incredible Gifts That Start With I appeared first on All Gifts Considered.

While bibliophiles like myself don’t quite understand them, there are people out there on our big, blue-green planet that don’t* read books. 

*Le Gasp

It is true. 33% of people never read another book after high school. Never. And over 80% of American families didn’t read a single book last year.

As my father used to say, “When it comes to dinner, I come to dinner!” Well, I counter that with my own, “When it comes to books, I come to books!” 

As a bookworm, book lover, and author I read through novels with reckless abandon! However, that is not the case for everyone, as well I know. My husband would rather poke sticks in his baby blues than pick up a book, and three out of four of my kids honestly hate reading. Where did I go wrong? 

Just kidding. It takes all types to make the world go ‘round! So, if you are someone who desperately hates reading books, or are friends with someone like that, we’ve got some really good books just for you. 

Pinky promise! You’ll be a certified bibliophile in no time. 

These are my favorite books to give someone who is a picky reader. They stand the test of time whether it’s for a book club or for one’s own pleasure (we promise, reading can be pleasurable).

Top 10 Books for Book Haters

Non-readers. Book haters. Yep, they exist, and they exist in droves. So what’s to do about that? Well, convert them of course!

But you can’t just slam the “I hate books” person upside the head with your favorite tome. I’ve tried. Doesn’t work. And what’s worse, it dents your book. 

Instead, you have to start small. Get the book hater a tale that will hook them from the very start. Here are ten I think will change the I hate reading books barbarian into (hopefully!) an I guess books are ok neophyte.

1. Lies My Teacher Told Me

Lies My Teacher Told Me

$11.59

"Every teacher, every student of history, every citizen should read this book. It is both a refreshing antidote to what has passed for history in our educational system and a one-volume education in itself."

―Howard Zinn

By James W. Loewen

Even the title makes one curious. What did my teacher lie to me about? Well, all sorts of things most likely, even if it was inadvertently.

This book will open the eyes of anyone who has the slightest interest in American History, and even those who think they don’t. 

It’s also a perfect read aloud for couples, a book group, or parent to child, because the discussions raised (not to mention the eyebrows) are perfect fodder for debate and opinions.

The author, James Loewen, is a college professor who scoured text books, dismayed at the inaccuracies, fallacies, and inconsistencies, and used his knowledge to tell the true story as best as he could, all without sounding judgmental or opinionated.

The result is a fascinating walk through our ancestor’s paths that will change the way you think about what you ‘thought’ you knew about American culture. `

2. Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Hidden Wonders

By Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras, and Ella Morton.

There are so many great things about this huge coffee-table-type book that it’s hard to know where to start.

First of all, you can flip to any page and begin your journey, which is excellent for those with short attention spans.

Secondly, it features some really great short stories each with its own illustration.

And thirdly, it’s totally fascinating! Even self-proclaimed world travelers will learn something new.

Example: maybe if you’re a geography buff you might have heard of Cairo’s City of the Dead, but have you heard of Cairo’s Garbage City?

Or how about the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand, or a baobob tree in South Africa that’s so large it has a pub inside where 15 people can drink comfortably?

Mind-boggling events, like the Baby Jumping Festival in Spain, where men dressed as devils literally vault over rows of squirming infants… Not to mention the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, Turkmenistan’s 40-year hole of fire called the Gates of Hell, a graveyard for decommissioned ships on the coast of Bangladesh, eccentric bone museums in Italy, or a weather-forecasting invention that was powered by leeches, still on display in Devon, England.

This is one book that remind you of how mysterious, bizarre, beautiful, and weird our home planet really is, and it will inspire your non-reading friends to get off their couch and travel, even if only in their imagination. 

Bonus! There’s now an easy read kid version! Which brings me to Book #3. Drum roll, please.

3. Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid

By Dylan Thuras and Rosemary Mosco.

Packed to the brim with gorgeous artwork, this is the children’s version that adults will eat up, too.

A perfect choice for bedtime for young readers and sure to give you exotic dreams all night long, you’ll learn about just how weird and fantastical our world is.

Truth is stranger than fiction, right? This book will prove just how correct that old adage is, and inspire you or your kids to live an adventurous life, all while teaching them (shhh, don’t tell!).

Pair the Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide with a big map of the world on their bedroom wall, and you will have one smart cookie on your hands in no time.

4. Don’t Let Go

By Harlan Coben

In my humble opinion, there are no bad readers. Just those who haven’t the right books. 

If you’re a reluctant reader, the first line of a book has to grab you by the teeth and dig in. The first line of this thriller by one of the world’s best loved authors?

Daisy wore a clingy black dress with a neckline so deep it could tutor philosophy. 

Packed with page turning suspense, plus a witty sense of humor that will keep you laughing when you aren’t biting your nails, a Harlan Coben novel is the perfect book for someone who thinks they don’t like novels, and this is no exception.

I’d rate it along the lines of a PG-13 movie, so it’s good for late teens and adults. As for your gender, well, it simply doesn’t matter. Old, young, middler, boy, girl, white, black, gray, or purple, you’re bound to devour this great story. 

5. A Man Called Ove

A Man Called Ove: A Novel

$12.89

By Fredrik Backman

One of the most lovable and unforgettable (and surprising) books I’ve ever read, this slim novel from Sweden’s most beloved blogger-turned-author will keep you chuckling when you’re not softly crying.

A Man Called Ove is the story of a man, cranky and curmudgeonly, whom the neighbors steer clear of and for good reason: he’s bitter, angry, and wants everything done his way. But when some new neighbors arrive (flattening Ove’s mailbox with their UHaul), chaos, transformations, and new beginnings begin to sprout.

This book will tug at your heart strings, but not in a corny, cheesy way. You’ll never look the same way at your grouchy grandfather/neighbor/uncle again. A Man Called Ove is a wonderful novel for those people who think they hate reading.

BTW, both movies are very good — the OG from Sweden and the revamped version with Tom Hanks.

6. A Fine and Pleasant Misery

By Patrick McManus

A longtime favorite to read-aloud, Patrick McManus is the Erma Bombeck of the outdoors. 

Feel an itch to go camping, hiking, fishing, or frolic in nature? His 27 short tales (true stories, but maybe a leeeetle bit exaggerated) will shut down that dumb idea.

If you like books that leave you gasping for air because you’re laughing so hard, this is the one for you.The whole thing, cover to cover, is hilarious.

We keep our copy in our camping supplies so while we’re munching our burnt s’mores, getting campfire smoke in our eyes, and batting away the mosquitoes, we can read about his hilarious misadventures in the wilds of Idaho.

There is no one alive who won’t crack up at some point in this classic book, guaranteed. 

7. Where the Sidewalk Ends

By Shel Silverstein

Not just for kids, adults will in turn crack up and get the “feels,” while thumbing through Silverstein’s best loved collection.

One of the best known “banned books,” the author’s ability to tell the truth while rhyming knows no equal. You’ll find more honesty and revelations reading his simple poetry than you will reading most philosophy textbooks.

Besides, who wants to read a philosophy textbook anyway?

Whether you need a gift for a baby shower, a graduation, a Christmas party, a retirement shindig, whatever, Where the Sidewalk Ends is the volume that hits right for book lovers and book haters alike.

8. The Way I Heard It

By Mike Rowe

Why is a book with an old dude and a coffee cup on this list of books for people who don’t like to read? Because Mike Rowe’s podcast is the “only podcast for the curious mind with a short attention span,” and it’s so very good.

When I read it, I heard the words in Rowe’s deep, recognizable voice. Reminiscent of Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story, each tale is unique, oddly suspenseful, and has a twist at each end that will either make you shout, “I knew it!!!” or leave you speechless and gobsmacked.

Fun, educational, and fascinating. If you’re on the hunt for books for men who don’t read, this just might be his gateway into a new world of reading and is a great place to start

9. Grateful American

By Gary Sinise

While Americans (and others) seem to be obsessed with celebrities, most of us over the age of 21 don’t give them too much respect or mental real estate. They just aren’t relatable, and they don’t seem to be living in the same world we’re inhabiting. And to be inspired by one? Well, that doesn’t happen often.

Cue from stage left, Gary Sinise. One of the most successful actors around, Sinise has a career even other celebrities envy.

And yet, acting wasn’t his life’s calling. Not even close. After starring in films concerning war and veterans, he realized how badly neglected our wounded warriors are, and he decided to jump in and get his hands dirty.

Ever since 9/11 he has worked tirelessly to shine light on our forgotten soldiers, from entertaining them with his Lt. Dan’s Band to countless charities, eventually founding the Gary Sinise Foundation. 

Want to be inspired, awed, and motivated? Get your hands on Grateful American.

10. Humans of New York: Stories

By Brandon Stanton

Beginning as a photography blog, Stanton gained a cult following when he began to share simple stories of the real people in front of his camera.

From the weird to the tear-jerking to the funny to the upsetting, this is one of the best books for non readers. It’s a fabulous reminder that everyone surrounding us has a story to tell and you cannot judge a book — or a human — by its cover.

The book is easy to flip through and read a snippet here and there. This one is a great gift for your book non-lover and those have a hard time keeping focused long enough to read novel types. Warning: they may never see anyone the same way again.

Get Humans of New York: Stories along with the original Humans of New York photography book for a nice companion gift set.

For those who claim to loathe reading, I challenge you to consider these book recommendations. These selections promise an engaging and enjoyable experience, providing an alternative gateway into the world of storytelling. 

Whether you’re seeking humor, intrigue, or a touch of the bizarre, these books are designed to captivate even the most reluctant readers. Open your mind to the unexpected, and let these recommendations redefine your perception of the reading experience.

1. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

$6.49

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

This little book is far from overwhelming. It’s not too big or too lengthy, and you can easily find an illustrated copy which adds even more delight to your experience!

This is an adventure exciting enough to draw in even the most reluctant boy readers (and pull them from their video games at least for a little while).

The story of four siblings who enter into a magical kingdom through a wardrobe door never gets old, no matter your age. After all, it was C.S. Lewis himself who penned the words, “Someday you will be old enough to read fairy tales again.” 

Join Lucy, Peter, Edmund, and Susan as they encounter witches, fauns, beavers, and adventurers traveling through Narnia. The words are exquisite and the story magical. 

Once you’re done, you can reach for the rest of the books in the series, or just bask in the warm glow that The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe left behind. 

2. Odd Thomas by Dean Kootnz

This was my first Kootnz novel and I cried like a baby at the end! He has such a way with words and characters. 

In this book (which has several sequels, if you’re so inclined to read them), we are introduced to Odd, a young man who works as a fry cook…and also sees dead people, the ghost of Elvis, Stormy Llewellen (Odd’s lovely girlfriend), and a host of the undead. 

There’s a mystery to solve, people to fall in love, and a twist ending that will rip your heart out. In a good way, of course. 

I’ve read Odd Thomas probably three times now and I still love it as much as the first time. I’ve also gifted several copies, and have *gasp* lost my own. Ah well, hopefully whomever borrowed it loved it, too!

There’s even a graphic novel if that floats your reading boat a little more! 

3. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

This novel is the queen of time-traveling adventures and inspired the award winning television show. You’ll be sucked into all sorts of Scottish history you never knew about, true and abiding love, and much adventure and thrills.

Author’s Note: This title contains adult content and is for the late-teen and adults only crowd. Not appropriate for middle school! 

4. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore: A Novel

Don’t let the dumb title (sorry, Mr. Sullivan), and the cheesy cover art (sorry, Mr. Cover Artist) throw you. Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore is an alarmingly good read that sat on my coffee table for weeks before I cracked it open out of desperation because it was the only thing I had to read.

Once started, I found find it was really hard to put down due to the unusual story and compelling characters. Lydia is our heroine. She’s an employee at a bookstore, shy, awkward, and somewhat people-phobic.

One night she stumbles upon the beginnings of a mystery: a patron known as a “Bookfrog” named Joey, hangs himself in the upper room above the store.

While Joey was her favorite bibliophile, Lydia is still shocked to discover Joey left her everything in his mixed-up, mentally ill, occasionally homeless life. Not only that, she has to unravel the reason why Joey killed himself, which becomes intricately entangled with her own violent past.

I loved this story for it’s totally bizarre plot that went places I never saw coming. It LOOKS like a cozy, feel-good, chick lit…but it TASTES like the best kind of indie book: lingering, spooky, strange, scary, and definitely worth reading.

5. Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty

Apples Never Fall

$8.30

From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.

Moriarty is a fierce writer with several best-sellers under her belt, but Apples Never Fall is a smaller, gentler version of her usual fast-paced who-dunnits. 

It centers around a family: four grown children, and the two parents who are coming up on their 50th anniversary. When the mother, Joy, disappears one night, her husband Stan, is the suspect. After all, the husband is always the suspect, right? 

Two of their children fiercely defend Stan, the other two…well, they aren’t so sure. This clever novel has twists and turns for days, including the introduction of a mysterious stranger named Savannah, and will keep you turning pages until the last satisfying one is completely devoured. 

I hear this one has been optioned for a movie, so fingers crossed they stay faithful to this wonderful book! 

6. I Take My Coffee Black: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America by Tyler Merritt

I Take My Coffee Black

$11.39

By turns witty, insightful, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Take My Coffee Black paints a portrait of black manhood in America and enlightens, illuminates, and entertains—ultimately building the kind of empathy that might just be the antidote against the racial injustice in our society.

It’s tender, sweet, hilarious, and quite educational, too. A great book for someone who prefers a non-fiction quick read.

I’ve heard the audio book is to die-for, too, because it’s narrated by Tyler himself!

This work of fiction reads like an adorable memoire. Full of biting wit and how absurd adults seem to children, it follows little girls Gracie and Tilly in 1970s, in England. 

When their neighbor Mrs. Creasy goes missing, the girls become amateur detectives, picking up clues throughout the cul-de-sac. They go looking for God (in a hilarious turn of events), try to make sense of confounding grown ups, and may or may not solve the mystery. 

It’s at turns delightful, spooky, and hilarious, and might just make you cry a little. Which is exactly what a great book does! A perfect choice for a light read that makes you feel good all over.

“Every seven-year-old deserves a superhero. That’s just how it is. Anyone who doesn’t agree with that needs their head examined.” 

Elsa’s grandmother is that superhero, but when she passes away she leaves a legacy of letters for Knight Elsa, age seven, to deliver. 

Like Big Fish but with a grandmother instead of a father, a child has to search for answers in the fairy tale world her only friend — her grandmother — left behind. This novel is rich in humor, charm, and wit. 

You’ll be chuckling one minute, and crying the next! I considered myself “not quite smart as an eight year old,” by the end, as Elsa kept figuring things out faster than I could.

A lovely, lovely, lovely novel. 

9. The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

$10.80

"Pop your favorite Agatha Christie whodunnit into a blender with a scoop of Downton Abbey, a dash of Quantum Leap, and a liberal sprinkling of Groundhog Day and you'll get this unique murder mystery." ―Harper's Bazaar

Turton is an insanely good writer! His sentences are prose are absolutely poetic. I’m convinced he’s a genius! This is definitely the strangest book I’ve read in a long while, and I am here for it.

Do you love crime and wish you had a string murder board? Well, tape one up on your wall because you’re gonna need that and a flow sheet, too! That’s the only way you’re going to solve this crazy mystery of Evelyn Hardcastle and her 7 ½ deaths. 

This book is complicated. So why, you may ask, do I include it in a list of books for book haters? Because it’s such a good story it just might blow your mind and get you reading forever more, that’s why!

I’m going to read it again, because holy cow.

10. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

A Christmas Carol

$11.69

It doesn’t have to be Christmas time to enjoy this wonderful little book, but it doesn’t hurt! And if it’s late at night, with the wind howling and the stars twinkling? Oh my yes.

Dickens’s prose is so lovely and it doesn’t matter how old it is — his words age so gracefully. He paints a picture that will be so vivid in your imagination as you turn each and every page. I recently went to a play of A Christmas Carol and they changed the dialogue.

In every scene.

They changed. the. dialogue.

I nearly died of a broken heart. You don’t go around messing with perfection!

Five more books for book haters:

Just a few more classic and/or intriguing books for people who don’t like to read.

• Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
• Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips
• The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How My Mother Raised Ten Kids on 25 Words or Less by Terry Ryan
• Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor
• You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by Felicia Day

Changing and Challenging the “I hate reading books” Opinion

Well, now that we’re through our best suggestions for those who hate books, what was the book that made you become a reader?

Think about what it was in your life that began to stir in you an interest in reading (outside of, you know, school). Every bibliophile started when a certain tale reached out and grabbed them by their heartstrings.

Remember that story, and try to convey a bit of what that felt like to your non-reader.

Maybe you can convert someone now that you’re armed with some fresh ideas. They’ll thank you later (after they’ve finished just one more chapter).

10 Best Geology Gifts for Rock Collectors, Gem Lovers, and Mineral Enthusiasts

Want to get your most favorite geology lover (be it your best friend, spouse, or a family member) a really great gift?

Then let’s take a closer look at our top ten gifts for anyone who finds themselves fascinated by geology, rocks, the earth sciences, and more! 

1. A Rock Hunting Expedition

The best gifts for geology lovers are experiences.

Be it your crystal obsessed child or an adult rockhound, they’ll be in seventh heaven digging around for something spectacular.

For kids: Go to a public mine, where you can pay a few bucks to sluice through pre-packaged buckets, dig in the ground, or sift through the (likely pdiggre-seeded) creek. It’s actually really fun!

For adults: Plan a getaway to a real bucket-list location. Someplace that involves a hike and taking survival gear. Your rockhound will love it.

2. Rocks & Minerals Collection

A legendary gift and excellent choice for rock collectors.

For adults: The Classified Rocks Collection pictured above is the perfect geology gift idea. It features 414 labeled samples of sedimentary, igneous, hydrothermal, and other various rock types.

For kids: Younger folks will love the Classified Rocks Collection, too.

For more budget-friendly ideas, you can find small, medium, and large grab bags of various (or very specific) types of rocks here in prices from a few dollars on up.

Young rockhounds love poring over random rocks, so any geology gift that includes rock, crystal, and mineral specimens will be a winning gift for sure!

Pair a bag of rocks with a rock and mineral guide for hours of geeky fun.

3. Rock On! Geology Game

This fun STEM-based game is essentially Bingo, but with rocks. To place, you have to find and identify the rock samples and fill up your card to win.

There are different levels, plus trivia-style cards full of facts and information.

More rock & geology-themed games:

• Hasbro Box of Rocks Party Game (Trivia)
• National Geographic Rock Bingo (Bingo, with rocks instead of numbers)
• Personalized Mancala Board (and add your own special polished rocks for the perfect gift)

4. Rock Tumbler

A rock tumbler is the ultimate gift for anyone who loves rock collecting.

For kids: The National Geographic Rock Tumbling Kit has everything a young geologist will need to tumbler and polish some of the cool new rocks she or he has found. We got this for our son several years ago, and he still uses it.

For adults: An avid rockhound will want something with a little more firepower. The MJR Tumblers 20 lbs Rock Tumbler is just the ticket — huge capacity, graded for industrial and commercial use, this thing is a beast.

With stainless steel ball bearings and a two-year warranty, this is a tumbler any avid geologist will be proud to own — and use constantly!

5. Rock & Mineral Identification Books

For adults: The Audubon Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals is perfect.

For adults: The Audubon Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals is perfect. Like all of their great books, it’s thorough with all the necessary detailed information, yet small enough to carry with you.

And it’s extremely well-bound so it can take the rigors of the expedition. Looks great on a coffee table, too!

For kids: First, don’t get me wrong – if a child is really into geology, the Audubon Field Guide listed above is great.

My son loved to pore over adult-level guides to rocks (and coins; still does, btw). But sometimes the kid-friendly version is the way to go.

DK always produces excellent material, and My Book of Rocks and Minerals is no exception.

6. Magnifiers: Loupe and Digital Microscope

For kids: Start with a loupe or hand lens, which is a pocket-sized jeweler’s magnifying glass that can view at up to 120 times magnification! 

Includes LED light so they can view in all weather conditions (or hiding under the covers at night after lights-out).

For adults: The loupe is actually great for the full-grown rock lover in your life as well, not just for kids!

But chances are the avid rockhound already has one. So take it up a notch with this 1200x Digital Microscope, which can record and display a live view of up to 1200x magnification while retaining brilliant clarity.

They’ll be able to save images directly to their computer to study later, as well!

7. National Geographic Geode Kit

Sure, it’s popular and mainstream and all that, but seriously, what rockhound wouldn’t jump at the chance to crack open a few geodes?

Plus, from personal experience I can tell you that good geology kits are the perfect gift for a young geology enthusiast.

8. UV Light

For adults: Rocks can look very cool (check this out) under a black light. So every rockhound is going to want this high-quality UV light from uvBeast. This thing is top of the line, and designed by scientists and engineers.

Proven 385nm-395nm wavelength means more power, more visibility, and genuine industrial strength.

For kids: A simpler, more affordable knockoff version will do just fine. Here’s a good one. Your young geologist will have tons of fun with her or his very own black light!

9. National Geographic Rock & Fossils Kit

Ok, this is the last boxed gift kit we’ll feature. But once again, especially for kids, NatGeo has simply done a great job creating a massively appealing product.

The Rock & Fossil Kit has rocks (Adventurine, Snowflake Obsidian, Metorite), fossils (prehistoric shark teeth!), geodes (broken and unbroken), and other little touches like specimen display, magnifying glass, and more. Good stuff!

10. Geology Comfort Gift Basket

It’s not a bad thing to want to be comfortable while rock hunting! These are the little things that help make a memorable day even better.

1. Sun hat
2. Sunglasses
3. Hiking stick
4. Anti-itch cream for bites or poison ivy, etc
5. Wet wipes
6. TP and/or outdoor toilet
7. Waders
8. Telescoping/collapsible travel stool
9. Sand-free towel
10. Delicious, non-meltable snacks

Equipment Gift Ideas for Geologists

Our top 10 were pretty awesome, but the great gifts for geology lovers don’t stop there!

We’ve got some top-notch mining tools, equipment, and other gifts for rockhounds that they’ll love.

We sourced these essential geology tool suggestions from the experts over at Stanford and University College London, so you know you’re after the right stuff.

11. Geological Hammer with Leather Grip

The ultimate mining hammer and pick combo with a luxurious leather handle.

From the renowned Estwing brand, this tool is forged in one piece and finished with a durable and comfort-friendly leather grip.

Estwing rock picks are highly regarded in the field for good reason, so if you add this to their collection, they’re sure to have it by their side for a very long time.

12. Rockhounding Emergency Kit Gift Basket

We’re going to sprinkle this list with several themed gift baskets. First, a complete safety kit, followed by must-have tools and then a geology comfort gift basket.

Safety is always the priority for all adventurers, young and old alike! Here’s what you need for a successful rockhounding expedition:

1. Emergency kit (includes a first aid kit)
2. A few MREs (Meal Ready to Eat)
3. Safety glasses/goggles
4. Sun screen
5. Insect repellant
6. LifeStraw water filter
7. Fire starter (ferro rod)
8. 30+ mile range walkie talkies
9. Flashlight (the one in most emergency kits isn’t great)
10. Orange vest (for use during hunting season)

13. Geological Compass

A solid, geological compass like this one is an essential tool for the serious minded Rockhound. 

Geological compasses are different from an average compass because of the anti-clockwise direction of the numbers on the compass dial.

This is because the compass is used to determine dip and dip-direction of surfaces, and plunge and plunge-direction of lines.

They’re also pretty dope looking…just saying.

14. Heavy Weight Canvas Rucksack

What good is all of this awesome gear if you have nothing to tote it around in? Enter the Fox Outdoor Utility Rucksack!

Designed after the Aussie military field bag, this heavyweight, cotton canvas tote is ready to take on any adventure and keep you organized at the same time.

15. Geology Tool Kit Gift Basket

Here are the tools that make for a successful expedition.

1. Bucket & specimen bags
2. Sturdy backpack
3. Good, thick rubber gloves
4. Rock hammer & pick
5. Hand shovel
6. Cold chisel with handguard
7. Sand scoop
8. Sifting screen or pan
9. Spray bottle, wire scrub brush, & plastic brush
10. Loupe (jeweler’s magnifying glass)

16. Waterproof Map Case

Keep that fancy geological map (that they prize so highly) safe and dry with this super cool map case.

We love how this one folds up nice ‘n neat to slip into your backpack or clip to your belt.

17. Geologist’s Field Book

Nothing beats the classic geologists field book.

Tried and true and designed to withstand the elements, they can keep all of their discoveries, measurements, observations, and more in this Rite in the Rain graphed field book.

18. Waterproof Tactical Jacket

Where are you sure to find your rockhounds? Well, that’s kind of a silly question…

They’re going to be outside looking for rocks, of course! And much like the mailman, neither rain nor hail nor sleet or snow will keep them from their hunt.

So, that means they need an all weather jacket to protect them.

For adults, we love this one from outdoor brand ANTARCTICA.

For kids, this 3-in-1 triclimate jacket from Mountain Warehouse is a great choice.

19. Rock Chisels

A good set of rock chisels is an essential in any geologist’s pack. These allow you to break carefully into rock formations without potentially damaging your special finds.

Sturdy, capable, and at a really good price mark, we are all for this set.

20. Belt Loop Hammer/Pick Holder

What better to pair with the hammer and pick tool than this classic, durable hammer holder!

21. Field Tape Measure

A sturdy yet flexible measuring tape is another essential in the field.

To measure rock formations, distances between outcroppings, and more you can depend on this open reel fiberglass tape to get the job done.

22. Folding Travel Shovel

This portable folding shovel is the ideal tool to have on hand.

Your geologist may discover the need to dig and mine at any time, so why not pack along a shovel! Fits easily in any vehicle or backpack.

23. Estwing Paleo Pick

This 25″ geologist’s pick is forged in one uniform piece and includes a no-slip cushion grip. If you’re going to get a pick, get this one.

24. Safety Glasses

If you’re using one of the fine picks, chisels, or hammers listed above, you definitely need a pair of safety glasses to protect your eyes.

After all, nothing could interrupt a major discovery like getting a piece of shale in your eye. Not to mention the way your new equipment money just went to an ER bill…

25. Sand & Rock Scoop

For panning and sifting, this is the perfect tool. Sand scoops are a must-have in every rock hunter’s toolkit.

26. Stackable Sifting Pan/Sieve

The stackable sifting pan from Prospector’s Choice is a relative newcomer on the market, but it’s proven to be a favorite.

Choose multiple sizes for the sieve, then stack the pans so that you can sift through and catch a wide range of sizes of rocks and minerals all at once.

3 Leaverite Gifts to Avoid

Leaverite is an important type of rock that every geologist should know about. It’s often beautiful, and amateur rockhounds gravitate towards it.

But experienced miners and geologists know that sometimes a great-looking specimen isn’t what is seems. Instead of being an interesting and valuable discovery, it’s a common, worthless rock. And you should leaverite there.

Get it? It’s a joke.

In the same way, there are many seemingly excellent geology gifts that you might think would be just right.

But if you want to avoid the knowing, disappointed sigh of the lifelong enthusiast or the frustrated tears of a boy with a broken toy, skip out on these rockhound gift ideas.

In fact, leaverite there.

Avoid: Cheesy Geology Humor Shirts

C’mon. Puh-lease. “I may be GNEISS but don’t take me for GRANITE”? Terrible.

But maybe your rockhound loooooves a good pun. So fine, go for it. But chances are, the serious geologist has heard all the geology jokes a million times:

• I was magma before it was cool
• Of quartz I love geology
• A pyrite’s life for me (with a picture of a rock wearing a pirate hat… **sigh**)
• Schist happens (metamorphically speaking)
• Geologist: noun / ge.ol.o.gist / The other kind of Rock Star

What to get instead: Pretty much anything else. If this appeals to you, fine, whatever. You might as well go full-cheese and get a coffee mug with the same phrase to go along with it.

Avoid: Rock Painting Kits

Ok fine, there’s nothing wrong with a good rock painting kit.

It will provide some fun for the kids to express some creativity with paint and rocks. Heck, my kids got one for Christmas and enjoyed it.

But it’s not the same as an authentic geology gift. The rocks are just plain ol’ river rocks that you can find at any landscaping supply (or in your neighbor’s yard).

What to get instead: Dig a Dozen Gem Blocks Kit, which includes 12 gemstones hidden inside little clay bricks, which they chisel away to find a real gem.

It makes a mess, so do it outside, but they’ll have a blast and enjoy identifying each one.

Avoid: Cheap Digital Microscope

I’ll admit I haven’t tried this one personally, so maybe it’s ok. But I do have a 10-year-old son who is interested in science, geology, and engineering, so we’ve gone through our share of cheap gadgets and devices.

Drones, race cars, microscopes, experiment kits, and so on.

You know the drill: There’s a $10-25 version of something that looks fun or interesting, and then there’s the $40-100 version.

The cheap version is asking for something to break, a part to be missing, or the results to be shoddy.

We just made this mistake with a camera drone on super-sale. Turns out the darn thing was on super-sale for a reason: it doesn’t work.

So save yourself the tears and frustration and avoid the one pictured above.

What to get instead: Give your rockhound a good-quality version of whatever you want to get. The digital microscope we listed above (gift idea #5) is a good one.

Leaverite Gift Tips

Here’s what it comes down to:

#1 – Avoid cheesy gifts (like the t-shirts, above), since they’ve already heard all the jokes and gags.

#2 – Skip the sparkly gift packages that say “ROCKS!” on them, as those are often just a collection of junky craft stuff that doesn’t have much to do with real geology.

#3 – And if you’re going to get any sort of tool, tech, or rock-hunting accessory, watch out for the cheap knockoffs and choose a gift with real quality and durability.

While we’re at it: The 21 Worst Gift Ideas. Ever.

Geology FAQs

Want to learn a little bit more about your friend’s or child’s interest in the big, wide world of rocks? We don’t blame you!

What do you call someone who loves rocks? What do geologists study? How about the history of geology? We got you.

Whether it’s out of pure curiosity, or just so you can better understand your neighborhood rockhound and their rock rants, here are some interesting facts about geology that you may not have known before.

Do hobby geologists have a name?

Yep! Amateur geologists are lovingly referred to as “Rockhounds.”

That’s way cooler than amateur bug collectors, who get to be called — wait for it — amateur bug collectors.

Who was the first geologist?

James Hutton, a Scottish farmer and naturalist of the 18th century, is known as the founder of modern geology.

Although, the study of the earth’s crust and its formations is nearly as old as civilization itself.

How many types of geology are there?

Believe it or not, there are actually 37 unique branches of geology, their geologists specializing in unique disciplines.

Of course, there is some overlap, but that’s a lot of rock lovers!

How much money do professional geologists make?

That varies greatly depending on their specialized field, location, and level of expertise. In the United States, the average annual salary for a geologist ranges from $40,000 – $110,000.

How long does it take to become a geologist?

Being a professional geologist requires a bachelor’s degree (so four years), plus 3-5 years of field experience. So you’re looking at 7-9 years.

Some states require licensing on the state level, as well, which can add another six months to a year.

What is a Hydrogeologist? Are they geologists, too?

Yes! Hydrogeology is a type of geology that studies how water affects and interacts with the earth’s natural surface.

What do geologists study besides rocks?

Geologists are often skilled in many various disciplines including (but not limited to) chemistry, physics, gemology, mathematics, history, archeology, and more!

Who employs the most geologists?

In the US, geologists are primarily employed by the US Government, private energy companies, educational institutions, and the fuel industry.

But I thought geologists looked for stones, gems, and precious metals?

Well, they do! The field of geology is astronomically vast.

Quite literally. Like, there are geologists employed by NASA that specialize in studying asteroids and other space rocks…

Don’t ever let anyone tell you the field of geology is limited, because it’s anything but.

Well, we hope you’ve had a smashingly good time with this article on gifts for rock collectors and geologists!
