Tis the season we begin holiday shopping. The economy is still trying to recover and unfortunately I read just last week that Walden Books is closing 100s of stores in January -- several in my 100 mile radius.
It's a shame, but don't let those closing stores deviate you from giving books as gifts. A book can be::
a dose of humor when you're sad,
a reminder you're not alone,
a friend when you're lonely,
a teacher of something new,
a treasure when it touches your emotion,
make you slow down and find balance in this hectic world
or a weapon in a pinch if it's a hard cover - I always keep one by my bed! haha.
I was delighted to see that my own step children had books on their wish list this year. I bet the folks on your list would love one too. Young Adult is hot this year - help connect the youth on your list to an author.
Large Print can make the seniors on your list feel a renewed love for the written word.
eBook Readers can satisfy the techno-gadget guy or gal on your list, and then there's always just a good old paperback. Paperbacks fit perfect in most stockings!
Add a pretty wire ribbon (even a regular shoe string bow looks pretty with glittery wire ribbon!) and you're all set.
Happy Gift-Giving.
