BOOKS TO GIVE AS GIFTS
I am a huge fan of giving books as gifts. Whether it’s poetry, biographies, coffee table books, or children’s books, it’s such a thoughtful and meaningful gift that the recipient can enjoy, especially over the holidays. An easy gift to order online and ship or even better, support your local bookstore and stock up on gifts for some of the loved ones on your holiday list. Here are some of the wonderful books to give as gifts. If you have a book you love to give (or have received) as a gift let us know in the comments!
And Yet by Kate Baer
We love Kate Baer’s book, And Yet. A poetry collection with themes in motherhood, friendship, love and loss– it will provide insight, healing and peace. A great gift for a woman in your life.

The Lost Cousins
This is one of Marin’s favorite books. Given to her by one of her own cousins, The Lost Cousins is such a meaningful way to share the beauty of the world with our little ones. This story of a grandad and his grandchildren on the search to find their long lost cousins all over the globe is both adventurous and interactive as kids uncover “seek and find” treasures on each page. A wonderful bed time story.

The Man Behind The Maps
I gave this to Craig last year and it was a hit. I love when guests come over and flip through the pages of this beautiful book featuring hand painted trail maps from over 200 ski resort trail maps by legendary artist James Niehues during his 30-year career.
