One of the best pop-up gifts for someone you love is a book you’ve selected that aligns with their personal interests, so if you’re looking for the very best in pop-ups covering an enormous range of themes, definitely check out the Meggendorfer prize-winners and lists of each year’s finalists – these are all spectacular and you won’t be disappointed.

This is my Valentine’s Day gift guide – a list of the most beautiful, clever, funny and delightful pop-up books published on the theme of love.
