The Art of Gifting
The most memorable gifts continue to reveal themselves. A book chosen for its story becomes part of a room, a ritual and a shared memory; an object shaped by craftsmanship gathers meaning over time. The Art of Gifting is Assouline's guide to luxury gifts that bring culture into daily life, from coffee table books to library objects and considered sets. Each piece is chosen not only for the occasion, but for all that follows.
LUXURY GIFTS FOR LIFE'S MILESTONES
Some gifts mark a beginning. A wedding gift can open a shared library; a housewarming gift lends character to a new interior; a graduation gift marks the opening page of what comes next. Chosen for the moment and for the years that follow, each becomes a lasting part of the life it celebrates.
GIFTS FOR HER, GIFTS FOR HIM AND EVERY POINT OF VIEW
The right gift begins with the person. Explore luxury gifts for her that speak to style, travel or the art of living, and gifts for him that follow an enduring interest, including the man who has everything. For the host, an object that sets the mood of a room; for the art and design lover, a visual journey worth lingering over. The stylish tastemaker may favour an uncommon objet d'art; the global traveller, a favourite destination revisited from home; the sports enthusiast, a book alive with the rhythm and icons of the game.
CURATED BEST SELLERS AND GIFT SETS
An effortless choice can still feel personal. Our most gifted titles and luxury gift sets bring together celebrated books and library objects with a natural affinity, suited to the seasoned collector, the curious reader and the person who is never easy to buy for. Begin with a singular volume, a considered pairing or a complete set, and let the story make the introduction.
