Whether they’re reading the top five New York Times best-sellers or a classic title, the book lover enjoys cozying up with a great read, or aimlessly walking the aisles of Barnes & Noble.  Book lovers are often collectors, too, and they have that mindset.  Passion is one of their key personality traits, and many avid book readers prefer the character of the printed edition.

Attempting to select a book for a book lover can be difficult.  “I always tell people to look out for books that moved them in a deep and profound way and to share that experience with others,” says Robyn Spizman, founder of www.thegiftionary.com.  “If there is a celebrity or personality that reminds you of someone, pick up a biography or memoir of that person and write a personal note about why the book was selected.”

Other gifts may include:

* A cozy robe for cuddling up with a good read

* A quality keepsake journal

* Books on tape for book lovers with long commutes

Gearheads tend toward a team mentality.  Nothing makes a car junkie more ecstatic than a revved engine or gazing at an endless line of classic convertibles at a car show or racing event.

Like any hobby enthusiast, they invest much of their time, money and energy into their motorized toys, whether it’s a car, motorcycle or boat.  Giving a gift that helps them work on or show off their passion is a plus.

They also love getting together with other likeminded individuals to discuss the latest news and going-on in the automotive world, and are often members of car and motorcycle clubs.

“There’s nothing gearheads like more than a customized shirt or jacket to match their customized rides,” says Glenn Oyoung, marketing representative for Tri-Mountain Gear.  “Apparel is so appropriate for them, too, because it is the most obvious way to identify others and express passion and interest to the rest of the world.”

If you need to buy a gift for your groomsman who is a gearhead try:

* apparel that can be personalized

* a handy survivor kit to keep in the gove compartment

* a book on classic cars or motorcyles
