As Pozzuoli explained, you really can't go wrong with a book as a gift.

"It's something to learn, it's something new to dive into, it's a visit to a place or a meeting a person you wouldn't have otherwise have been able to see or meet and that is really special."

Lastly, Pozzuoli joked that if you need one more reason to give a book as a gift, books are square or rectangular so they are easy to wrap!
