Best Coffee Table Books

Owning One of These 30 Coffee Table Books Will Make You Feel Like an Adult

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

If there's someone on your holiday shopping list who has you stumped, gift them a coffee table book. In our opinion, coffee table books are the mark of an adult's home. When you start collecting home decor accessories, that's when you know you've graduated. In all seriousness, though, coffee table books are a really fun way to show off your interests and personality. They're great conversation starters and ideal hostess gifts. Check everyone off your list, and keep reading to shop our picks.
