The best gift

It’s simple: the best gift is a book.

For any event or holiday, for an occasion or simply, for any age category, gender, status, etc., a book has real reasons to be the best gift. Let’s talk about it in anticipation of International Book Giving Day, which, by the way, coincides with Valentine’s Day. Anyone who knows about this will immediately solve the problem of choosing a gift, reduce the burden on shopping centers and online stores, without fueling the excitement in the pre-holiday days. Book lovers have already prepared gifts or will easily prepare them, and the book will be an appropriate addition to any other gift.

Advantages of the book over other gifts:

• always fashionable
• huge choice
• easy to choose
• it is easy to take into account a person’s interests and hobbies
• there are always new things
• convenient size(s)
• easy to pack (wrap in paper, put in a box, looks perfect even without special packaging)
• does not need a postcard (you can sign the book)
• price (often cheaper than other gifts)
• can be an expensive, refined, unique gift
• the value does not decrease
• does not need a special occasion or holiday to give
• gives impressions, emotional experiences
• can warm, support, help, amuse
• gives knowledge, opportunities, expands horizons
• useful/ compact/ safe gift
• can be part of the interior
• does not require additional operating costs
• cultural/ intelligent/ educational gift
• an intimate/ heartfelt/ memorable gift
• can be a gift for several people at once (family, friends)
• multiple use (even children’s books are reread with pleasure by adults)

In addition, a book is the best way to show how you really feel about a person, whether you know about interests, hobbies, desires and problems.

Gifted books bring people together, and reading or discussing books together is the best way to build warm relationships and create warm memories.

Prepare for the holidays easily and with pleasure! Let your gifts speak about your feelings and bring joy!
