Todays post is sponsored by Barnes and Noble, one of my favorite places for Holiday Gift Giving.
I am sure by now you are all well underway with your holiday shopping. But did you know Barnes and Noble has some amazing gifts? Remember when you would walk in and it would be wall to wall books? Well those days are over. Sure there are still tons and tons of great books for everyone in your life. But there is so much more. From board games, and eReaders to planners and stationary you can find great gifts for everyone. I recently went on a little Barnes and Noble Christmas shopping trip with the husband to explore and pick up a few gifts for some of our loved ones. Boy was I excited to see the amazing choices I had. Seriously I probably could have stayed there all day shopping. Especially since the cafe has such amazing coffee, cocoa and cookies! So you can grab a snack mid shopping and keep right on going. I was also impressed with the selection of things like eReader covers, cookbooks, CD’s and Blu Rays! Take a look below and see what I may have purchased!
This holiday season, B&N has nearly 35,000 knowledgeable booksellers at the ready to answer customers’ “What to give?” challenge.

I always have a hard time shopping for my Dad..BUT I actually ended up getting him a book from Barnes and Noble on Black Friday! It’s an awesome National Geographic book! I just love that store.
I don’t need encouragement to shop at B & N for gifts. I’ve been there already for Christmas gifts, and love to just sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the store in St. Louis.
I LOVE books, and one can never have too many! For all of our nieces and nephews we always send them books for their birthdays, that’s 10 a year (and counting, lol)!
My Dad is the absolute hardest person to shop for! He’s not sentimental, lacks emotion and buys everything he wants for himself, whenever he wants it. I always end up getting him pajama pants and slippers which he despises and knows every year that’s what he is going to get.
Barnes & Noble is MY FAVORITE. I could spend all day in there. Wandering around, looking & touching & smelling the books, drinking coffee and just enjoying myself. Its my happy place. So relaxing. Probably why my husband doesn’t like me going there! Lol
My brother in law & sister are usually hard to shop for. My sister may get something from Barnes & Noble, not so much for her husband though- he’s not much of a reader or into board games really; pretty sure B&N doesn’t sell gun/hunting accessories, lol.
I was just at Barnes and Noble yesterday! I have so many books on my wishlist and so does my stepdaughter and husband! Would love to win! Haha my sister would love that Dallas calendar!
i need to hit up B&N!!!! I need some holiday reading for travel! Jennifer Weiner and Jodi P. are my faves!!! any other books I need to read? Did you read Tina Fey’s book?
Holiday Classics Storytime
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a favorite around here with my grandchildren, and I only have a plain paperback book. I nice illustrated one would be perfect.
Oh my dad is really hard to buy for. This year my dad and I were talking alot about saving the Monarch Butterflies and Bees and what we could do. We planted alot of milkweek for the Monarchs in the spring…but didnt know about the Bees. I found the book “Keeping the Bees: Why All Bees Are at Risk and What We Can Do to Save Them”….that would be perfect for him!!!
My father’s the most challenging to shop for. Thankfully, he loves to read, so I often find a good book (or two . . . or three) as a gift for him at my local B&N store. It’s a great excuse to visit and a place where I easily lose track of time.
My husband is the hardest! Even after looking at the site I have no idea what I would get him.
my nieces. One I always feel like I have to out do myself. The other is now 17, and she changes her mind all the time
My husband is the hardest for sure, Next up my dad. Husband is actually getting their backgammon set and dad a gift card. We love Barnes and noble.
My brother! I never know a good gift that isn’t a gift card or money

It’s hard to shop for my grandparents because they have everything!
This would make a great stocking stuffer!
my boyfriend and I would get him a blu ray
my dad is the hardest to shop for, he insists he needs nothing. So probably some kind of book for the bathroom.
For sure my husband would be the hardest to shop for. He changes his mind on what he wants constantly!
My Step Mom. I would probably get her a planner. I love looking at planners.

I’m so behind on my shopping! I need to get started, these are some great ideas!
My husband! I could spend hours in Barnes and Noble!
My mom is definitely the most difficult person to shop for. But I know that she would love a new calendar for 2015!

My dad! But he loves to cook, so a cookbook is always good!
My mom, I think there are some lovely books and notebooks. I think a coffee table art book.
My mom is such a challenge, and I usually end up finding a great family game or some good chick-lit for her at Barnes & Noble!
My brother is always the most impossible person to shop for! But he loves coffee, so something from the cafe is always a good idea.
