Bookish Christmas Gift Ideas

I know, I know...Thanksgiving isn't even here yet!  Buuut, I'm one of those people that mulls over gift choices for awhile before making my purchases...I love figuring out what gifts to give friends and family!  Here's a little bookish list that I thought might be helpful for those having gift-anxiety :)

First, I'll start off with some of my favorite books in recent years...I think any of these would make fantastic gifts!



Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
The Sparrow
The Thirteenth Tale
The Forgotten Garden
The Name of the Wind
The Girl Who Chased the Moon
A Discovery of Witches
Still Alice
Just Kids
When She Woke
The Language of Flowers



















For the wannabe foodie or homemaker:
I absolutely love this book...definitely the most frequently used cookbook in my arsenal.  The recipes are quick, easy, and soooo yummy!

Another option is Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook


For the men on your list:
My husband finished this book in record time!  His quick synopsis: a dystopian techie page-turner that's very 80s reminiscent.

More of a non-fiction reader or science/history buff?  How about this:
Or this

For the teen/tween or YA lover:


The Knife of Never Letting Go
Kat, Incorrigible
Enclave
Before I Fall
Delirium
Divergent
Anna and the French Kiss
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
What Happened to Goodbye

For the bookish friend:

  4. I'm in love with the The Little Prince print. My husband and I actually used an excerpt of that as a reading at our wedding.
