Those picture frames you can hook to your google photos or whatever, putting on a constant slideshow of memories. Highly rec, great gift for a mom or grandma. I walked by ours and I just caught 19 year old hank looking deeply hungover at an anti war protest. You can see the headache in my eyes.

Specifically for reference/nonfiction books and especially for gifts. I like to get fiction from the regular library and maybe purchase a copy if I really love it and want to loan it out. The huge crowded warehouse of a library book sale gets overwhelming so I stick to nonfiction and reference to make it easier on myself.
Making Comics by Scott McCloud (big recommendation if you love the comic arts and want to get into it critically/creatively in a more structured manner) for the graphic novel I’ll start and finish when I’m 80.
My Inventions by Nikola Tesla for my brother. Will be used in the meantime for me to hopefully practice my Serbo-Croation. Of course it’s in Croatian, despite being in collaboration with the Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, but that’s just the way of the Balkans and really just makes it easier for me as it is in the Latinic and not Cyrillic.
Turn of the Century Tile designs Lovely full color images of exactly what it says on the tin. To be used for embroidery inspiration and patterns for other 2D works and furniture printing. When I am 80, I will have a home and use some of these to make my own hand painted tiles in my bathroom and kitchen.
Byzantine Costume Paper Dolls Debating on whether to keep this or give it to my mother, keep it, or donate it to Sunday school. It is very funny and cute to see Empress Theodora serving so much with a full contour in the paper doll version instead of the austerity and grace of an icon, but the medium holds the message after all.
Golden Age of Posters for my mother to enjoy and maybe frame a couple. It includes a print of a poster that I saw being conserved with eraser crumbs being gently dragged across the surface. I got her a magnet of that poster and I know she will be excited as soon as she sees it in the book.

Every flea market has a big box of vintage postcards for like $1 each. Buy a bunch and put them on your walls/fridge. Same goes for vintage polaroids of strangers.

Ok stay with me here. Too much public filming. This is going to discourage good weird public activity. We need people being weird in public. Odd dancing, carrying around insane items, freaked out fits, etc. Instead of a quick vid to show your friends, or, god forbid, *get internet clout*, people should be sketching the scene and describing it in colorful language. Now you have to take accountability for your opinion on the matter, your draftsmanship and writing gets better, and the public freaks have plausible deniability in the job interview. This goes for drunk man on the street tik tok videos as well. Put on a newsboy cap and start jotting. There should be exceptions like intentional performances or heinous crimes of course. I’m open to other exceptions I just can’t think of any rn. This will never be a reality but i can try
