Books as Gifts
One aspect of books is that they make perfect gifts. Books can be given for any occasion or for no reason at all. But they make excellent Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, graduation gifts, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts, Valentine’s Day gifts, Easter gifts, St. Patrick Day gifts, Halloween gifts, any special family celebration — you get the idea.
One of the things I especially like about books as a gift is that they last. Most people cannot remember any of their graduation gifts (unless they got something unreal like a new car or a trip around the world). However, a good book, especially one that is personalized, is something that the graduate can keep all his life and remember that it came from “Uncle Ed” or sister, “Louise.”
At this time, I am working on my next novel, and I am not able to autograph my books. May I suggest, however, that you personalize the books you give as gifts with your own message. For example, "Merry Christmas to Stephanie. From Ted. 2020." A very special gift from you!
