Books that Make Great Gifts for all Occasions

Generally, it is hard to select just the right book to give as a gift.  You never really know what a person's interests are, and what kind of books they like to read. 

Here are some good books that will make anyone with general interests happy with what you give them.  Scroll all the way down to view the books I think would make great gifts for birthdays, the holidays, graduations, and other special occassions.  Then, sign my guestbook just to say "hi", so I know you were here!

Travel Books Make Perfect Gifts

Books about travel are great for well-rounded people

If you have a friend or loved one who loves to travel (or wants to), a book of photographs from around the world may be a perfect gift. A good travel book can either remind a person of where they have been, or it can inspire them to take a trip to where they haven't yet gone.

Christian Books on Amazon make Great Gifts!

With over 80% of the American Population claiming to believe in God, but less than that claiming to actually be Christians, I think that any book that approaches the topic of religion can help people learn more about themselves and about others. For people who are looking for something deeper - for a spiritual connection they are missing - take a peek at some of these books. My own personal current favorite is Bishop Jakes' book "Reposition Yourself". It offers great advice from his Christian slant, but is not overly or offensively preachy.
