Ok so we are running out of time to do some gift shopping! If you looking for some ideas as gifts I have a few that any girl would like.
Books! Hold on, I know what you’re thinking! A book sounds like a bad gift, but let me assure you it is not! If you know someone really well it is not that hard to pick a book that they will love! And if you can inspire the love for reading in someone who hasn’t really enjoyed it before that’s wonderful!
I have a couple of friends who love books as much as I do but I have a ton of family and a few friends who aren’t as enthusiastic about it. But like I said it’s not so hard to pick a book for a person you know pretty well. Here’s how I do it:
I think of the person and their personality. Then I think of the things that they like to talk about/ do. When I think of a book I look for a general genre that would connect with a big part of their personality. Then to narrow it down I look for characters/ plot that the person could some how identify with.
Example:
I have a cousin who is a young mom but she’s like my sister and best friend. I like to think that I know her pretty well. This is what I can say about her personality: positive thinker, romantic, caring, fun, and brave. In the past she was forced to read books that she thought were boring and this is what I believe turned her off reading books.
The genre that I would pick for her would be a romance. Since she is married and madly in love I think she would enjoy reading a love story with a strong female character but because she is a positive thinker and very brave I think she would get more enjoyment out of a racey/adventurous story.
Here are my picks for her:
Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James Ahh the book that has caused so much commotion lol I think this is great for a lot of women because it talks about sex in a way that people have never really heard of before. I think that this is a pretty good “Wow” factor of the book and because it is so popular, the person we give this to will pretty much always find someone they can talk about the book with.
Bared to You by Sylvia Day This book is also a great pick. The couple in this book is similar to the 50 shades book (rich guy and normal girl) but they have a stronger bond. I think that this book really lets the reader into the relationship and see why they fall in love. Also the plot of the story I think is better structured, and has a lot of fun twists.
Fixed on You by Laurelin Paige And finally this book! The Fixed Trilogy is a really fun one. Similar to the previous books because there is a rich guy and a semi normal girl lol. This one has the excitement of the night life, the couple’s relationship is super hot, and the plot is filled with lots of fun twists and turns to follow.
I hope I explained my thought process well enough to help you think of some books you could get for your loved ones. I really think that books would make a great gift. ❤ If you have any questions or concerns let me know in the comments below! 🙂 Keep an eye out I’d like to make a few more “books as presents” posts today.
Merry Christmas all!
Sending you lots of love,
