Book Gift

I don’t know about you but I always have a hard time buying gifts, especially for people who, to me, already have everything! I mean, these people are rich enough to get whatever they want so they never have a "wish list" like us.

A friend's birthday is coming up in a couple of months and I am already starting to think of an appropriate gift. I need something that I could easily ship out since this person is not in Malaysia. I consulted my sister who told me that I should get a book. That sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. Books have a universal appeal and I would not be afraid of it getting damaged in transit or that the receiving end will get a tax imposed on the gift.

I did a check online to check the latest books recently released. The Appeal by John Grisham looks like a good book to get for my friend who is a great fan of the author. I hope to get it to him as fast as possible so that he would not have bought it himself first! You know what; the best gift would be a copy of The Appeal autographed by John Grisham himself! But I know that I would never be able to get hold of an autographed copy. *sigh*
