Amidst the December holiday whirlwind, finding a thoughtful and affordable gift presents a challenge. You are up for it, however, because your neighborhood Bookmans has something for everyone. We count down our Top Five Holiday Gift Ideas, sure to impress even the most discerning of recipients. Take a look at these selections and then make a beeline for the Bookmans location near you!


5. Hip Ukuleles
Ukuleles are fun, perfect for all ages and easy to learn. You might as well get one for a gift and one for yourself. As the great George Harrison explains, “Everyone should have and play a ‘UKE’ … it’s the one instrument you can’t play and not laugh. I love them, the more the merrier. So get yourself a few and enjoy yourselves.” Outfit your social circle with ukes this December and watch as the spontaneous harmony spreads. Speaking of ukes, don’t miss the Ukulele JAMboree at Bookmans Phoenix this Saturday from 3pm to 4pm!

4. Shiny New Board Games
We always have an awesome assortment of puzzles and games, but the holiday season brings in the best of the best. Check out our brand new board games, hot off the presses! Board games are not only fabulous gifts, but catalysts for ignoring electronic devices and laughing hysterically with friends and family. Give the gift of analog fun this holiday season.

3. Epic T.V. Box Sets
We have the perfect gift for those who haven’t yet met their quota of Law and Order SVU as supplied by the USA network. This December, gift wrap some of the greatest series to grace the small screen. Help loved ones gear up for that power marathon of Castle or discover obscure BBC gems with complete box sets.

TV Boxed Sets Make Great Last Minute Gifts
