My favorite kind of gift to give kids and teens

The best kind of gift to give and to get, is one that stays with you longer than the item itself.  That's why my favorite gift for kids and teens is always a book.  Some kids just aren't that jazzed up about reading, or getting a book for their birthday, but giving a related item along with a book always increases the gift's popularity.  Here are some ideas of great book gift combos:
