A Book Every Month For A Book Lover

This site is my most favoritest so far.
(Hey, I'm with kids all day, and in this house favoritest is a word)

You've heard of the beer of the month and wine of the month gifts you can get, but have you heard of www.giftlit.com where you can sign someone up to receive a book every month for 3, 6 or 12 months??? It completely blew my mind. I sat in awe of the idea of it for... well only seconds before I really got into exploring the site.

There are suggested lists for every occasion including new baby, wedding and Valentines Day. There are also

Gifts for her

Gifts for him

Gifts for teens

and Gifts for children

Or you can start from scratch and make your own

One of the things I am loving about these ready to go suggested lists is that you can substitute books. You can use the list, but tweak it too. If you know they have a certain book, or you think they'll like a different one better you can click the handy-dandy  button.

Then pick from one of the recommended categories and  something you know they'll love!

One of my thoughts on this gift is that it's an especially great option for someone (grandchild, niece or nephew, sibling, cousin, friend) who doesn't live close to you. It's a great reason for them to pick up the phone every month or two and

Tell you about what they received and

What they liked and

How they are and

To ask how you are :)

Another great thing about this 'subscription' is that if the recipient is not interested in or already has the book that arrives, they can send it back and another month will be added on to their gift.

 I will admit that I did not check the store price of every book they offer. Despite the rumors to the contrary, I do have a life. But the price really seems like a good deal. I mean, have you ever mailed a book before? The weight of a hardcover book will break the bank in shipping costs.

Keep this in mind! Use it for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Christmas, or Birthdays... or for no reason at all!

Oh! Added bonus! They also do book recommendations on their Blog :)
