A thousand gifts we might receive ,flowers, chocolates, a dozen clothes, or the Gen Z’s must-have gadgets yet a book stands out to be the gleaming gem among them. While material gifts have a larger appeal to the body, a book addresses fair charms to the soul. To gift a book is to offer a treasure trove of knowledge, words, ideas, and thoughts. A book makes other presents grow dim with its gravitational pull and intellectual appeal.

Atomic Habits by James Clear recently found its place on the second shelf of my personal book rack, a gift whose almond and vanilla scent fills my hands. Holding a book in hand is the most sensuous experience, of nearness, touch, and warmth.

A book cutting the edges of generations, distances, and time, makes you meet the author intimately. From its pages, valuable quotes leap forth, answering even the most tangled confusions of life.
