Sure, clothes are always the hot shopping topic around the holidays (especially for the style set), but getting a book for someone shows that you pay attention to a person's interests. Take it a step further and opt for a coffee table book—excellent for interior decor and a great conversation starter for hosting. When you gift a coffee table book, you're giving a tactile item that's great for perusing with a cup of coffee and allows you to break up your screen time between flipping pages. Here are a handful of our team's favorites to spruce up someone's space and pique their intellectual curiosity.
