It’s almost gifting season, and listen… sometimes the nicest thing you can give someone is a gentle: “I remember you. I know what you love. I didn’t panic-buy you body lotion at the last minute.”
A gift card from a secondhand bookshop says:
“I remember the book you wouldn’t shut up about.”
“I remember you used to read under the duvet with a torch.”
“I know your TBR pile looks like a Jenga tower but honestly, just add another one.”
“I didn’t want to guess your taste because I respect you and fear you a little.”
“Here, go choose the story that will recharge your social battery in the best way.”
It’s for the friend who wanders through books like it’s a Woolies food aisle.
For the cousin who smells every book (it’s fine, we’ve all done it)
For the person who keeps saying they’re “not buying new books until they finish the ones at home.”
LOL.
Gift cards give people permission to find something unexpected, something a little wild, something that whispers “take me home” from a dusty corner.
So if you’re stuck, stressed, or about to buy socks again, DON'T.
Just give the thing that always fits: The possibility of a really, really good book.
