The mall parking lots are crazy packed, the Lands End coat you were going to get your mom is back ordered, and you can't remember what shoe size your Uncle Larry is-- it's holiday gift giving time again!
Personally, I love finding fabulous items at bargain prices to add to my collection of fabulous items purchased at bargain prices ... but not this time of year. I'd much rather sit on my couch breaking up dog fights over NylaBones than brave the consumer insanity that tends to occur this time of year.
That's why buying books at Wheatmark to knock out my Christmas list seems like such a great plan. They'll love them ... but if they don't, they can always return them for something else!
For my brother the earth science geek, Chad Widmer's awesome book on raising jellyfish.
For my husband in law school, one of our series of Arizona Law books from Don Loose.
For my dad, James Best's book, The Shopkeeper, because he'll enjoy the western tale.
And for my mom, Milton Lipson's adorably illustrated children's book, Two Arizona Black Birds, because she'll love reading it to her preschool class.
Just remember, if you're going take my advice for gift giving, make sure to order books in time for Christmas (online or by phone 888-934-0888 x 100)! Hardcover books need to be ordered by December 3rd, color books by December 5th, and paperbacks by December 8th!
