Last month while still in NYC, my West Coast biffle stopped in for a sleepover on her way through NYC. As always, she gifted us the most unique, thoughtful, and special housewarming gift: a collection of coffee table books. (Her last gift, which I also posted on, is here.) Each book is beautiful, interesting, and special, but what makes them even more special, is that they are so me! Take a look at the selection — I love the idea of presenting friends with a collection of books that they can flip through and read for years to come.

The large heavy stack!
Paris in Color and The 500 Secrets of Paris

She knows how important Paris is to me!

Funny for kids and adults.

I’ve got 99 problems but these books ain’t one. Thanks for posting, Anika!
‘In the company of women’ looks like such a fascinating and inspirational book! Can’t wait to check it out myself. 🙂
