Y ahora, algo a little more "adulto".  
“An Encyclopedia of Tolkien: The History of Mythology That Inspired Tolkien's World (Leather-bound Classics) by David Day (Canterbury Classics; ISBN: 978-1645170099; Leather Bound Hardcover $24.99; 544 pages) is a comprehensive, illustrated guide to the history, lands, and inhabitants of Middle-earth.

The fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth contains a rich assortment of people, cities, and creatures—as well as a deep, intertwined history that spans thousands of years. In this beautifully illustrated, leather-bound volume, best-selling author and Tolkien scholar David Day presents four decades of research and writing on the lands and inhabitants Middle-earth. Sections of this A-to-Z dictionary are devoted to discussion of the battles, history, beasts, and heroes of Tolkien’s stories, and are accompanied by black-and-white illustrations. This comprehensive volume on Tolkien’s world also includes an appendix of three primary legends that served as sources for Tolkien’s creations—the Volsunga saga, the Nibelungenlied, and Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle—and more than 200 black-and-white illustrations.”

Babushka wrote "adulto", pero en realidad, when My Little One (27 yr old daughter) saw this book she squealed with delight. Apparently her novio LOVES anything written by or about Tolkien and his mundos, and with each pagina she looked at, the louder the squeals. So, many a millenial will enjoy this as will lovers of this mundo. A very easy and endearing gift to be sure.

So there you have it Beautifuls.
Gifts that will thrill and have them thinking.
Dos libros to make them happy and reach their heart.
And NO BATERIAS NEEDED.
