Which books make good gifts?

Where can I find a generalized list of literature that makes good gifts for the average person? Should I give actual books or giftcards to bookstores this holiday season?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Giftcards might be better, as then the person can choose a book that interests them, where as if you give them an actual book, there is that chance that they won't like it.

As for a list, it would kind of depend on the individual, what they like/dislike etc. What you can do, is search Amazon, or maybe google, for gift ideas for a certain person. For example, you could search book present ideas for 18 year old girl, or book present ideas for crime fiction. It all depends on who you are buying for.

I agree with the other user that it maybe better to give a gift card as a gift than books because with gift card, the recipient will be able to choose the books he wants to have esp. if you don't know his/her favorite authors. But if are so close and you think s/he will like your books then you may give him/her books. I myself admire every book I can see esp. if they have beautiful covers because I love to keep beautiful books. I consider books as real best friends.
