My family knows what they’re going to receive from me each Christmas. The only surprise for them is what book is hidden inside the glittery wrapping. And each season I search for both the classics and something new. I thought that since some of you might be on the hunt for book gifts I’d share what I’m considering putting under the tree. Family: DO NOT PEEK!

Merry Christmas!
Hi Lee - yes I've bought books already - the only challenge is .. if the recipients don't turn up in Sussex - then they need to be 'lugged' up to them! But great ideas ... and I buy through the year ... so theoretically no rush! I'm sure there will be lots of colouring books flying off the shelves this year for all ages ... cheers Hilary

DeleteIf anyone were going to give me a gift I think I'd prefer a book. There is something very lasting about a book as a gift.

Tossing It Out
And you can share it with a friend. I still have books people gave me as a kid. I've loaned them, re-read them and thoroughly enjoyed them over the years.
