Black Friday has passed. Cyber Monday is done. We’re in the thick of holiday shopping now. It’s officially the you’ll-never-find-a-parking-spot-at-the-mall time of year.

But don’t fret. We know of a great gift idea: they’re rectangular, lightweight and full of fantastical worlds, heartfelt emotions and fascinating knowledge. Smaller than a bread box and larger than the universe.

BOOKS.

Yes, books.

Books make great gifts.

We teamed up with our publishing siblings to create the Workman Holiday Catalog, a one-stop shop for everything from fiction to cookbooks, crafting to kids. (Not just Algonquin books.) Everyone likes books, so buy books. The best bookstore this holiday season is only a click away.

And the holiday season not just about giving, but also giving back: For every book purchased through the Page-A-Day® store, Workman will donate one copy of Good and Cheap to a person or family in need. Good and Cheap is the bestselling cookbook that shows how to eat well on $4.00 a day.

So, forget mall trips and guessing at what size turtleneck your Uncle Jim wears.
