Chaletmomma Gift Guide 2024

I believe books are a necessity of life so of course I love gifting them. Here are a few suggestions. Click image to be linked to Good Reads.

Littles:

Kiss Good Night is a delight - my son and I read it every night for years. Little Blue Truck is now a series of 14 books. We had the original and loved it.

Pre-teens / Teens:

I loved Harriet the Spy and these titles by Jane Langton. I feel Harry Potter is meant for 11 year olds. That’s the age Harry is as a first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

These graphic novels introduce Shakespeare in an easy to digest format.

Adults:

Art:

Beauty:

Biography & Memoirs:

How about a few Kennedy or Kennedy adjunct titles:

Cooking:

Design:

Fiction:

Many of you know of my affection for Ann Patchett. These are my top picks with the Dutch House being my favorite work of modern fiction.

Maybe I love these so much because I’m a hockey mom but, the characters are gripping.

Film:

Garden:

History:

Place:

The history of the Met and three works of fiction that reference the museum.

If you saw something above that makes you think of a loved one for this holiday season yay! If not I encourage you to pop into your local or second hand bookstore (thrifted books make great gifts too!) shopping small is so vital to our communities friends. Loose yourself in the stacks!
