Gift Ideas - (Website)

Printer-Friendly Format

If you're like us you love the holidays but not necessarily the hunt for a parking space and hustle and bustle of a crowded mall. We've discovered a few online shopping sites that are definitely worth perusing. You may even want to pass the links on to parents via e-mail or newsletter.

This first site is compelling because it gives 105 different ways to give a book as a gift. Book titles are cleverly paired with other items, for example: A detective book and magnifying glass. A poetry book with a magnetic poetry set. Might Casey with a ball and bat.

105 choices that will spur your own ideas and creativity and help you foster a passion for books in your loved ones.
