Example: The Secret Garden Gift Basket
A Book About Gardening, Life, and Growth
The Secret Garden
Amazon Price: $11.95 (as of 05/30/2012)
This is one of my favorite childhood books. I think the story of how Mary Lennox, a girl who escapes certain death due to cholera to be invigorated and reawakened by a secret garden in the English moors is uplifting. The garden theme makes it an especially good book to build a gift basket around.

Okay, so in order to give this in the gift, you have to find someone who doesn't currently own the Harry Potter series. Alternately, if you know someone who is a huge Harry Potter fan, you can create the basket without books, or find related books that might interest them that they probably don't own yet.

Magically Amazing!
Example: Beka Cooper Terrier Book Basket
By Author Tamora Pierce
Terrier (The Legend of Beka Cooper, Book 1)
Amazon Price: $0.02 (as of 05/30/2012)
This amazing fantasy series isn't quite as well-known as Harry Potter, but it's well worth a read. Author Tamora Pierce features strong female characters in her books set in the fantasy realm of Tortall. This series is by far her most in-depth and complex to date, showcasing heroine Beka Cooper as a young woman who must make tough choices to make it in an even tougher neighborhood.
