Books 

If your partner is a bookworm and the best way to win their heart is through books, go to a bookstore and pick a book that you know your partner will like. If you want to tell something through that book then maybe consider getting a love poetry book. Or a new edition of one of their favorites. For English speakers in Paris you can go to Shakespeare & Company, The Abbey Bookshop or simply order from Amazon.

Dig through your memory to remember that one thing your partner just won't stop talking about, and get it as a surprise. Paying attention to what your partner says matters most when it comes to gifts and winning their heart.
