Are you going to give out books as presents or are there any books you want for Christmas?

LOL, I ALWAYS ask DH for a book for my birthday and give him a list (Nov and we're wrapped up in X-mas so this takes pressure off him). Sometimes I do give them as gifts. My Gram doesn't see so well anymore and loves getting books on CD.

We just gave my niece the first two Fablehaven books for her birthday. My husband always buys me books, usually picks out what sounds good to him. Which is fine. He bought me 3 Pendragon books and a set of Ramona Quimby for my birthday. Obviously, books we like to own are ones our kids will read. I am likely to give my brother a book for Christmas. Actually, maybe not, I forgot he is moving overseas.

Looking for homemade gift ideas, Christmas decorations, or stocking stuffers?

Yes...we always get lots of books for the kids every Christmas. They're both voracious readers. Dh and I don't buy books for each other, or for other adults though because we're all very much 'library people'.

I always get my two sisters & my parents each a book for Christmas along with whatever else I get for them. When I was in high school, my friends & I all exchanged books for birthdays/Christmas.

the book i am reading now i have asked dh to get me for christmas. it has all the info we will need step by step to do with my dad as he goes through alzheimers ( when he officially gets diagnosed) and my sister will surely need it.

I give my son a book for Christmas Eve every year with his pajamas. I still have to pick that one up. I also bought him the Klutz Superhero book which comes with a cape. It's too cute.

I'm giving In the Arms of Angels to DH's grandma.

I always ask for a new cookbook( a weakness of mine). This year I think I want one of the Barefoot Contessa's.

I'm making a basket for my mil's soon to be step daughter too who just turned 8. I think I want to add a book to that. Maybe one of the Ramona books??

I keep a running list of book titles that I want. If someone asks me for a gift suggestion, I print out a copy.
I also give books as gifts - soetimes it's a title that someone specifically mentioned, sometimes it's one by an author I know they like, sometimes just on a topic I know they're interested in. A few years ago, my nephew was fascinated by snakes, so I bought him an encyclopedia of snakes. It had detailed descriptions, beautiful color photographs, maps, and even descriptions of how the venom pits function, how constrictors kill their prey, molting, pretty much everything you could possibly want to know about snakes.
