Have you told friends and family yet that this Christmas is " the year of the book"?
In the past I've had the year of the teatowel, the year of the bath towel, the year of the calendar, the year of the hamper, but the year of the book hasn't happened for a while.
There are so many good books around you surely won't have a problem choosing a swag. And if you are worried you won't buy one they'll want to read, then give a book voucher instead. And of course you could always opt for a book mark, a book stand, a book light, a book on tape, a book on CD.....
My advice is to just buy something you'd enjoy and then look grateful when they lend it back to you in the New Year.

Yes - give a book stand, but not just any book stand. Take a look at the BookHug hands free book holder at http://www.displaystands4you.com.
