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 favor an uncommon objet d'art; the global traveler, a favorite destination revisited from home; the sports enthusiast, a book alive with the rhythm and icons of the game.

Gifting Concierge

Our Gifting Concierge is an interactive guide that helps you find the right gift in seconds. Describe who you are shopping for in your own words, such as a housewarming gift for a Paris lover, or start from an occasion like a wedding, birthday or anniversary, or an interest like travel, fashion or hosting. It then curates a shortlist from our books and library objects for you to explore, a considered place to begin.

FIND A GIFT

Gifting at Assouline:

Begin with the person rather than the occasion. Consider how they spend their time, the places they return to and the subjects they collect, then choose a book or object that speaks to it. The most memorable luxury gifts are personal without being fleeting, made to be revisited, displayed and one day passed on. Our recipient guides, from gifts for her and gifts for him to gifts for the host and the traveler, are a considered place to start, and if you would like a shortlist in a few words, our Gifting Concierge can suggest one.

The person who has everything rarely needs another object; what lasts is something with a story. A coffee table book or a library object enters a home as both a considered piece and a point of view, chosen around a passion, a city or a moment they hold close. It is why an Assouline title answers the hardest name on any list, a gift to open, display and return to for years.

Yes. You can add a complimentary gift note at checkout, one per order. If you are sending to several recipients and would like each to receive their own note, the Multi-Ship option at checkout lets you send to multiple addresses in a single order, each with its own dedicated note.

Traditional gift cards are available only in our boutiques, not online. For online gifting we offer something more personal, the E-Gift. Choose a title for your recipient at checkout and they receive a beautifully presented digital notification, to accept as sent or exchange for another title of equal value. There is no added cost, and you can schedule delivery by email or SMS for the moment you choose.

Yes. When you send an E-Gift you choose a title, and the recipient is free to accept it or exchange it for another of equal value. Nothing is shipped until they decide, so the gift arrives as an invitation rather than a fixed choice. It is delivered by email or text message at the moment you choose, and the card design can be personalized before you send it.
