I think books are a great gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288397 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:48:18 +0000 Bao 1288397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love giving (and hey, receiving), books as gifts! You can never go wrong with a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288383 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:44:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1288383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes definitely! i usually give a book as part of a gift for all birthday parties we go to. And I got Charlie and Olive each a Christmas book, but I couldn't wait until then to open it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288375 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:41:30 +0000 Ash 1288375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288369 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:39:41 +0000 PinkElephant 1288369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! In particular I get books for those children who seem to have everything already. I feel like most toys I'd buy would be a duplicate of something they have, but I can usually hit on a title they don't own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288296 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:16:37 +0000 bookwormmama 1288296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup all the time! We always get at least one book for Christmas from my parents. Now that I'm a children's librarian I know how important books are from the start, so I love giving books as shower/birthday/Christmas gifts. I actually gave a board book to DH's cousin as a shower gift and she told me I was the only person to give her a book...I couldn't believe it because it is definitely my go-to gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288294 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:15:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1288294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! My niece and nephews are old enough now where when I ask what they want I allow one fun toy item and one education item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288292 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 08:13:51 +0000 mfa_lady 1288292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Absolutely - my favorite gift to give mamas-to-be and little ones. I was an English major in college and am a writer, so nobody's surprised that I've taken up the post of resident book-giver. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288141 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 01:02:16 +0000 looch 1288141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288114 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:37:34 +0000 Kimberlybee 1288114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes books are timeless gifts.

I just gave my sister, who is 23 weeks pregnant, our favourite Caroline Jane Chuch books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-books-as-gifts#post-1288072 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:06:17 +0000 autumnlove 1288072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will probably buy my niece a copy of Pete The Cat, The Gruffalo and the Curious George Treasury for Christmas. </p>
