I’m totally a book girl. I haven’t always been, but I absolutely am now. Books are my escape and can really be magical. How many ways can you actually travel anywhere, meet anyone, learn anything, or simply be entertained for hours on end without ever leaving a chair. (And bonus, the comfier the chair, the better.)
You can load up your basket at Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com and cross everyone off your list. I think books, especially when they’re tailored for the recipient, are the absolute perfect gift. I pulled together some of my favorite books for all kinds of people!
FOR…
A Little Boy: Where the Wild Things Are // A Little Girl: Eloise
The Traveler: New York Times 36-Hours // The Chef: My Father’s Daughter
Mom: The Age of Miracles // Dad: The Power of One
FOR…
A Teenager: Divergent // Sister: The Fault In Our Stars
The Photographer: Once Upon a Time // The Athlete: The Boys in the Boat
The Fashionista: IMPACT // The Shopaholic: Things We Love
What books would you gift? Add your suggestion (plus the recipient) in a comment!
I always find buying books for others so difficult because I feel like books are so personal. There are definitely some great finds on this list though. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love this, I love all of your book suggestions.

I will be giving books to a handful of people this Christmas- I think it is the perfect gift! I would recommend the book Love Does by Bob Goff…very inspiring! Just bought four copies at Barnes and Noble to give friends and family for the holidays.
Toughness by Jay Bilas for the athlete.
I love giving books as gifts, to me books are the best gift.

I've been really wanting those "36 Hours" books. I think they are wonderful! I would gift the book "True Prep" to all of my girlfriends 🙂
I wish that you had not created such a gender binary for boys and girls. There's no reason that girls should have to read about spoiled little girls who live in the plaza while boys get to read about adventurous boys and monsters. We should not be promoting and encouraging such gender stereotypes.
Best comment I've ever seen on a TCP post. To be honest, it isn't something most people think about, but it TOTALLY should be. Hope Carly responds to your comment. I'd really love to see what she has to say. In her defence, it's a mistake most people make and one that 90% of people are completely unaware of.
I love this list! Half of the books I'm tempted to buy for myself… But I know I'm getting the Kate Spade Things We Love for my best friend!

Oooh I think IMPACT would look great under my tree this Christmas. Too funny you recommended The Power of One, I had to read that in High School and HATED it…. maybe that's why you recommended it for dad and not 20 something females haha!

great roundup! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
These picks are great! Though I would have to add Corduroy for kids – one of my favorites as a child.

Have to agree that you shouldn't have split the kids books into boys and girls. Where The Wild Things Are is a classic book that any child (or adult) would enjoy.
I am wary of gifting divergent. I read the trilogy last week, and as a 26 year old it took me two days to get over how it ended…
I am glad I am not the only one! I sat with the book open on my lap in shock when it was over…
Some great suggestions here!!

Love all of these suggestions! I really want to get Eloise for my little cousins but I'm not sure they'd sit still long enough to read a book! Haha!

I love all of these ideas! My dad and brother both are getting books for Christmas! Definitely one of the best presents to give!
These are good suggestions. I bought The Art of Racing in the Rain for my animal-loving friend. Silver Linings Playbook is a good one too. Thanks!

I think that is a great gift. Too bad it is getting more and more difficult to find those who actually read them. I think that our nation is degrading. We need to read as more as we can. Thank you so much for you guidelines. Next time I decide to buy one as a gift, I will definitely use these tips. These are really good suggestions. The more we read the more intelligent we become: our speech, writing (and kids do not need to get essay online) and knowledge improve.
