If you give children toys as gifts they will treasure toys; if you give books they will treasure books. They will value what you value. I often package a book and a practical item such as cookie cutters, t-shirts, themed gift baskets etc. as a family gift.
Those of you who are fans of Nicole Rubel's work might be interested in the t-shirts, mousepads etc. that you can order -- great reading and more-- www.cafepress.com/nicolerubel I particularly like the "I am a Reading Kid" (note Ralph in the book) and the "Libraries Bring You the World"
An older tie-in for the "I am a Reading Kid" theme is the "DORK" products -- I am a Dork* a Dangerously Outrageous Reading Kid -- check out www.cafepress.com/bluebuttongifts.
There's some great Shakespeare gifts at www.everythingart.com/shop_detail.asp?SubCategoryKey=47&Action=SC
Be sure you scroll down.
And Blue Button Gifts has an "Add a Book" option at www.bluebuttongifts.com/readingconnections
