Md Altaf Hussain :
Whether you’re shopping for loved ones, office mates, friends, or acquaintances, finding that perfect something for someone can be a nerve-wracking task. Anyone who read a book as a child knows the power of a good piece of literature. Whether it’s a fictional adventure to imaginary lands, a biographical piece with lessons from history, or something entirely different, a book has the power to spark curiosity, introduce innovation, and open opportunity.
Buying books for people who love reading can be pretty easy since there are so many great books out there to be discovered, you’re spoiled for choice! However, fun gift books can be great presents for non-readers as well. For those who like trying out new recipes, give a cookbook, for those that like travelling, give an atlas, the possibilities go on and on.
Here are some reasons why books make the best gifts for everyone on your list.
A book will last a lifetime
A toy will eventually be discarded and a sweater will wear thin. A book, though, will forever grace the person’s bookshelf. Every time they refer to the book that you gave them, they’ll remember you.
No small pieces
There are so many reasons to be thankful for a gift that doesn’t have little pieces… it won’t choke the little sister, it won’t be rendered useless because one piece is lost, it won’t be continually spread out all over the floor and most importantly you won’t scream when you step on it in the dark.
You can personalise the book you give
What makes a book really special is that you can write an inscription in it. It makes the book that you get for someone all the more personal.
The options are endless
Giving books as gifts is that you can get creative as the gift giver. When selecting books as gifts, you want to stay away from the most popular titles because chances are high they’ve already read them. So dig deeper… think of your favorite books from your own childhood, ask your friends on Facebook or go to a local bookstore and ask the staff working there for their suggestions. Personalised books are a fabulous choice and guaranteed to be loved.
Thoughtful presents
Getting someone a book suggests you have thought about their interests and searched for something that would suit them.
Reading can make more empathetic
Books have the power to help its readers understand what others are thinking by reading other people’s emotions. It builds stronger analytical thinking skills, improves your memory and makes you more focused in life.
Books keep the brain cells happy
Yes, no matter what, they are educational and that is good for the cognitive juices. No matter what, everyone you know is interested in something … even the ‘someone’ that when you ask, “What would you like?” and responds, “I don’t know,” can be taken care of. There’s always a book for something, as weird as that something might be.
Last Forever
Not much we buy really lasts forever… assuming diamonds are out of the budget. Kids grow out of most toys or get bored of them if they don’t break or lose them first. But books find themselves placed lovingly on a bookshelf to be enjoyed over and over. Eventually, they’re usually passed on to family and friends to spread their joy further.
