Our Body & Soul range will spoil you for choice! If you're going for all-out glamour, Jacqui Ripley might have written Getting Gorgeous just for you. From hair and make-up tips to what to wear, it's a mini beauty Bible. Glamour nearly always means fancy footwear, and if you're a fan you'll love Sandra Deeble's hymn to the high heel, A Passion for Stilettos. With great photos and witty text this makes a great gift for a stylish girlfriend.

Dressing to impress isn't just for women, either. With Paul Copperwaite's Suited & Booted, any man can look good from head to toe. The book includes tips on taking care of hair, skin and nails, plus style advice.

Living a full life means connecting with other people - and remembering to show our appreciation. Luckily there's Mother's Day and Father's Day every year to prompt our memories, but our gift books for family members also make great birthday or spontaneous presents. Thank You For Being My Mother is a tribute to mothers everywhere.

Liz Wilde's Ageless Beauty also makes a thoughtful gift for any woman aged 20 to 60. From a healthy life-enhancing diet to keeping your teeth in good shape, it's packed with thoroughly researched information about how to grow older beautifully, looking at face, hair, body, energy and mind.
For a more holistic look at your life, encompassing your living space and relationships as well as how you look, read Josephine Collins' Detox for Life: Detox Your Mind, Body, Relationships and Home. With straightforward advice and useful questionnaires and checklists, Josephine helps you identify problem areas and move on smoothly to a healthy and rewarding life.
