Perfect Christmas Presents

It's only December 4th, and i'm thinking about it already. And i know i'm not the only one.
Christmas presents, you cant avoid them.
Every year around this time, comes the mild panic, escalating throughout the month about what the hell i'm going to give my nearest and dearest. 
I'm the kind of person that spends hours thinking about what to buy people. I'm so terrified of getting it wrong! A good Christmas present needs to be planned, well thought out. Something that shows that you were really thinking of them, not just doing a last minute dash around town (Which i normally end up doing anyway, just in case i've forgotten someone!). 
There are SO many people i know that are almost impossible to buy for.
Even with months of thinking, browsing, and then browsing some more, some people will just never be easy.
Take my dad for example, i reckon i've bought him a jumper every single year for about the last five years.
He says he loves them. But really, i know i could do better.
And my boyfriend. I thought of the most ingenious idea last year, I got him a spa voucher, for two people, which meant i got to go too!
I can't believe i got away with that one, he loved it! Problem is i've used that one up now, i can't really do it again this year. So now i'm back at square one, completely stuck.
But, oh yes there is a but. I think i may have found a solution.
Books! And oh no, not just any old books, these beauties!
Prometheus Bound Books do absolutely gorgeous bound books. From classics to cookbooks, notebooks and diaries, I've already picked out something for everyone. They do all sorts of personalisation too. Literally, the choice is endless.
I've picked out a selection of my favourites below. I LOVE the fashion book set in black lizard leather, with  ‘50 Dresses that changed the world’, ‘50 Shoes that changed the world’, and ‘50 Bags that changed the world’. The ultimate coffee table collection!
Which one would you go for?
