When it comes to the debate on Kindle vs. physical book, physical book always wins in my book (bad pun, sorry). Clicks will never replace page turning, plastic will never replace leather covers and electronic ink screens will never replace crisp paper. Even if you don't agree with anything I just said, it's hard to argue that something will replace the scent of books. Well, except for Frostbeard's "old books" scented candle. Gift this jar of magic to the book lover in your life.
It's not a flattering term when it comes to describing people. But when it comes to gifts, I find it magical. Check out this clutch from Kate Spade. It looks like a book, but it's a purse! You can look studious and stylish at the same time (and have a permanent conversation starter). Kate Spade offers a "library" of different styles, but my favorite is The Great Gatsby, for it's design and colors and for the mere fact that I like the book. What better way to say "I remember your favorite book" in a stylish way? If Kate made a Marcel Proust one, I'd personally gift myself this $325 item, but for now, that will be my excuse.
