I love the holiday season. There are so many opportunities for magic moments that make this time of year special. From picking up a good book while traveling to see friends and family to curling up next to a roaring fire with a book and a cup of hot tea, I love everything to do with the season. You may notice a pattern here: I love to read. It is one of the reason’s I wrote The Day We Rode The Rainbow; I wanted to share my family’s love of books with my own offering.
It should be no surprise that one of my favorite gifts to give and receive is the gift of a new book. With the Holidays just around the corner, some of us are already shopping and searching for gifts. Who doesn’t love getting a good book that someone picked out especially for you? Whether you gift your latest favorite read to a family member, or you pick out a best seller for a friend, it is a sure way to beat the stress, the traffic, and still show you care.
Top 4 Reasons to Give Books This Holiday Season:
- Books Help Kids Grow
In a world dominated by instant gratification and screens, kids need books to learn and grow. Kids nowadays have a really hard time focusing. Children always have something going on around them or in front of them on their phones, tablets, computers and televisions. It’s important that kids have space from screens and time with their own imaginations. Books help kids dive into new worlds, imagine characters on their own, and learn patience.
- Books Last a Lifetime
A book will last a lifetime while a toy or article of clothing will eventually be discarded or outgrown. A book can always stay on a bookshelf and be passed down from generation to generation. Every time they refer to the book that you gave them, they will remember who gave it to them, and the times they enjoyed the story. Special books can even work their way into family traditions.
3. They are Easy to Wrap
Book lovers love pretty things, well thought out packages, and the details. Make your packages stand out with nice wrapping paper and ribbon. Take that extra step to make your holiday gifts special. Books are so easy to wrap, unlike other odd shaped toys and appliances, making your Christmas wrapping chore easy and fun.
- Everyone Loves Them!
Buying a book can be as simple as a click of the mouse. You wrap it, set it under the tree, and you are done! You don’t have to worry about getting the wrong size, forgetting batteries, or hoping you got the right color. Once opened, a book is ready to use; no assembly required.
