One of the gifts Oprah loves to give and receive most is a great book. "And if it's a book you loved reading, then you'll be sharing something special," she says. This year, Oprah has fallen in love with The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. "It's an epic tale about the magical bond that this mute boy shares with his dog," she says. "But it's so much more than a dog story." 

To personalize your gift, you can write an inscription to the gift receiver—and their furry friend!
