Ok, all you procrastinators, not done with your holiday shopping yet? Our favorite last minute, fail-safe gifts are always books. Here’s our picks for this season, any one of which we would be thrilled to receive!

Marcel Dzama, the Course of Human History, $70 at Curiosity Shoppe. From one of our favorite artists, includes a nearly 6-ft long reproduction of one of his paintings.

Jamie’s Italy, $23. We are already addicted to Jamie’s Dinners, so we can’t wait to get this one!

Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-Be Southerners, $23 by the Lee Brothers. We always rip-and-save their stories from The New York Times, MSL and other mags.

The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton, $17. A romantic look at buildings and architecture, soon to be a PBS series.

Joy of Cooking, 75th Anniversary Edition, $18. No household should be without, and this new edition makes it hard to resist.

Stuff on my Cat Daily calendar, $10. A chuckle a day, provided by the popular blog.

Worldchanging: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century $25 by Alex Steffan, Al Gore and Bruce Sterling. Beautiful, informative and inspiring!

Antiques of the Future by Lisa S. Roberts & Michael Graves, $21. How many of these collectibles do you own already?
