Do you give books as gifts? To everyone? Or only to select people?
Just to my sister. I honestly don't know many people who read (besides my fellow book bloggers, of course)! But my sister and I give books to each other and exchange books a lot because we are both avid readers.
I'm not sure. On one hand, the thought is really sweet because it's obvious whoever is the gift giver took the time to pay attention to what I like. On the other hand, I'm kind of picky about what I read. My husband's mom did something nice, when she was traveling, she saw something that made her think of me and picked it up for me. I really appreciated it because it wasn't a book, but it was book-related. (She got me the "Read" sign, not the plant, the box, or the statue of Ganesha).

What a thoughtful mother-in-law you have!
This is definitely a good gift.. I got a t-shirt from a colleague that says "Lit Happens".. It was an awesome gift:)
Yes, for those of us that read a lot, it might be difficult for someone to choose a gift for us (unless working off a wish list). This book-related sign is a very thoughtful gift (you've got a great mother-in-law!)
Aside from babies, I don't give books. I'd like to though!
What a nice gift! I'm a picky reader too so I prefer to pick out my own books.
A book-related gift is a wonderful idea, especially for the choosy reader! I usually just mark my page with whatever's handy, so I love receiving beautiful bookmarks, because it's something I never think to buy for myself.
Oh, I love that box!
