We always gift some books at every holiday, we are huge book lovers! We've picked up a couple of books so far, but I need a few more ideas! We were thinking of doing a book advent calendar so we will need to get some used books but I'd like to get some new ones, too.
If you are gifting your LO books this year, which ones? If you haven't purchased any yet, what are some you hope to get?

Yes! We decided to do a Book Advent calendar this year, so a lot of Christmas books, but also some non-Christmas ones.
She's really into Pete the Cat right now (we read while following along to his song version of the books - it's so good!), so some of those books, the Olivia Christmas book, a Llama Llama Christmas book.... and Mo Willems stuff too. Basically, sticking with all her favorites!

I'm not sure which books we'll get yet, probably just some off the Amazon list of books I have for her.
@Bao: If you don't have The Book with No Pictures yet, I suggest you put it on the list. It's a hit!

We do the Something you Want, you need, to wear, to read thing for Christmas, so yes, he'll be getting books. So far I know I want to get him the Marcel the Shell with Shoes On book. Outside of that, I don't know.

Yes! I bought her a set of Little Golden books through the Today Show sale. I also am telling family to get her books. We need ones really bad!

Absolutely! Pete the Cat lovers here, too. We also got a couple of recommendations from the librarian at the school where LO1 goes to a 1 day a week preschool class, so I'll dig that email up and look into those books when I Christmas shop. LO also absolutely loves Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious books, so probably a few more of those. Dr. Seuss is also always great, too.

Yes they are obsessed with construction/trucks/trains so I want to get a few more on the subject. Maybe more science-y ones for my 3 year old since he wants to know how everything works.

I got The Day the Crayons Quit because they had it for cheap at Home Goods. I give a book at every special occasion.

My LO is 9 months and doesn't really read much yet, but I wanted to get a few religious Christmas books since we already had some secular Winnie the Pooh and Santa type board books from library book sales. So I got Clopper the Christmas Donkey, The Story of Christmas Board Book, and Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend. They aren't really gifts, as I put them on the top of our bookshelf and will read them to her all season long.

I buy books from Goodwill all the time but I will buy some new books for Xmas! I have my eye on a few that were mentioned by PPs!

yes, she's getting mostly books as she is book obsessed. Currently she's really into the Sweet Pickles books (anyone remember those- from the 70's/80's) so I got a bunch on Amazon. Also, Pete the Cat.
