Top tips for picking the perfect festive gift

 

The festive season is the perfect excuse to share the joy of books with your nearest and dearest. But where to start? Choosing the right gift can feel like a tall order, especially when Folio editions are crafted to be enjoyed for a lifetime. This makes picking the perfect title all the more special. To help, we’ve put together some handy tips to make sure your literary gift brings smiles and excitement on Christmas morning – and for years to come.

 

 

Assess Their Interiors

 

 

 

Does a coffee-table book always take pride of place in the front room? If so, aesthetics are key. Think ornate covers, coloured page edges, or a slipcase that’s a real showstopper – the kind of details that will make your gift the star of the display, leaving lesser titles to retreat to the shadows of the bookshelf.

Inspire Their Inner Artist

 

 

 

A beautifully crafted book is more than a story – it’s a work of art. For the creatives in your life, choose an edition that showcases what they love most. Whether it’s exquisite watercolours, bold digital illustrations, or evocative archive photography, there’s a perfect Folio book to match their artistic passions.

 

 

 

Have A Sneak Peak

 

 

 

Not sure which genre your lucky recipient loves most? Take a peek at their bookshelf next time you visit. A well-loved paperback or a cluster of novels by the same author is a clear clue – and a beautiful Folio edition of that title or writer is sure to bring a smile to their face.

Pick A Wild Card

 

 

 

Do they enjoy short stories, poetry, or historical fiction? Once you’ve narrowed it down, trust your instincts. From sweeping romances to gripping mysteries or timeless classics, there’s sure to be a Folio book to light up their bookshelf – and their imagination.

 

 

 

Think of Their Favourite TV Series

 

 

 

Do they love film adaptations or TV series? If A Game of Thrones kept them glued to the screen or The Planets left them in awe, a beautiful edition of the book adds an extra layer of magic, making it an unforgettable festive gift.

Take A Trip Down Memory Lane

 

 

 

Did you study a book together at school or college, or bond over something you both read recently? A beautifully crafted edition of a nostalgic favourite adds the warmth of shared memories, making it an unforgettable festive gift.
