>perhaps a longshot but any tips for (cute) bookmarkers?
While I do like bookmarks, my style is very different from what you posted.
See picrel, some of these are in packaging still as have them for gifting people.
From left to right:
1 - Metal bookmark, you can find these by looking for "van gogh bookmark" or "van gogh metal bookmark" in the bundles. They're from famous van gogh paintings, including the famous sunflowers and starry night. Come with cutouts and a fabric string thingy at the end. Look nice, feel premium, overall not bad.
2 - Wooden bookmark with koi on it. Wood is a nice material, feel sturdy, but a little too thick for my tastes, which makes them annoying to use. They also have that string thingy which I find more annoying than useful.
3 - "Memory fragments" paper thingies. They weren't even advertised as bookmarks, I think they're for meditation or some shit. Thickened paper/cardboard, so far less sturdy than the rest, but large (helps not move around in the book), pretty, with various motifs and thin. These are my favorite of the entire bunch. If you read a lot away from home/on the go, they will eventually get beat up, you can see an example in the 0 marked one, it's got dog ears etc. I don't mind and you get plenty of spares, but it's worth keeping in mind.
4 - Scrapbook paper - too thin, too small, don't get.
5 - magnetic bookmarks - a solid middle ground of being more safely seated than the paper bookmarks and not being quite as large and thick as the wooden one.
6 - just if you're considering gifts for someone that reads, these thingies for your thumb to hold the book open are often nice gifts (get ones from wood though, not plastic like me). Personally I find that I rarely use them but some people seem to like them.
Overall, as a gift I'd recommend 1, for myself I think 3 is the best, 5 is a solid middle ground, 2 is fine if you just read at home, stay away from 4.
