If you’ve already received all your holiday gifts and still want something else…

I’ve got a couple of books that have come across my desk recently that make perfect gifts — for yourself or to give others for upcoming birthdays, etc.

Since I often write about home, design, antiques, collectibles (and shopping, of course), the books share a bit of a theme — see if any tickle your fancy.

“Georgian Style and Design For Contemporary Living” by Henrietta Spencer-Churchill (Rizzoli, $50) kicks things off in style:

The book is ideal for those who might be restoring an 18th-century property — or just want to create that atmosphere in their more contemporary home. The book takes you on a bit of a house tour, traveling from room to room and offering elegant suggestions for each one.

It’s a certain taste, to be sure — one that taps into the traditional, luxurious side of life. Just a browse through the pages left me inspired by many things, from the silk brocade that covers a beautifully carved chair to the collection of antique chinoiserie jars and vases on a desktop to the canopied bed standing underneath a classic portrait.

The author (“Classic Interior Design,” “Classic Design Styles” and “Classic Entertaining”) is a daughter of the 11th Duke of Marlborough. Spencer-Churchill lives in London, where she runs Woodstock Designs.

We move from England to France with the next book, “French Chic” by Florence De Dampierre (Rizzoli, $50). Subtitled “The Art of Decorating Houses,” this book is also filled with European style, offered by a noted French interior designer who’s also a decorative-arts historian.

Here, though, it’s also a tour that includes stops in the kitchen — with recipes to serve in your French-inspired home.

Equally lovely as the title above, this book has a more down-to-earth feel. The houses are a bit more accessible — and the “chic advice” sections scattered throughout are written in a very homey style.

Not to make you dizzy, but we’re back to England for “Regency Redux” by design expert Emily Evans Eerdmans with a foreward by Kelly Wearstler (Rizzoli, $75).

The focus of this book, “High Style Interiors: Napoleonic, Classic Moderne and Hollywood Regency,” certainly got my attention.

The Regency style/period in England drew on the past, from Greek and Roman architecture, to offer up interiors that have clean lines and a certain restraint… but not too much.

A bit of French opulence mixes in — creating a style that continues to have a lasting legacy.

This book delves into Regency style by looking at how it influenced everything from interiors to film sets to furniture, starting with the Regency period itself then following it through the 20th century.

There are countless drawings, evocative black-and-white images and lots of color pieces, all creating a moving and telling picture that made me want to live in these rooms on more than one occasion.

I mean, how can you not love the 1927 bedroom of Rose Cumming, complete with lantern-patterned walls, an incredibly sleek bed and gilded accents all about? Or the sophistication of Cole Porter’s music room, as photographed for Vogue in 1932? Even the entrance hall of Syrie Maugham’s 1949 London flat invites you to pause, with its pink walls, mirrored surfaces and white accents.

Definitely a book to daydream with:

I also daydream about costume jewelry (no snickering, please) — collecting it is a hobby, and I’m already looking out for 2009 antiques shows and flea markets where I can continue the hunt. (Just today I heard of jewelry being featured at a vintage fashion show set for Feb. 14 and 15 in Tarrytown; check out Cord Shows Ltd. for more details).

“Inside the Jewelry Box Volume 3: A Collector’s Guide to Costume Jewelry Identification and Values” by Ann Mitchell Pitman (Collector Books, $24.95) is something to spend more than a few hours with.

This latest in Pitman’s series (I own her earlier titles) continues to explore the world of costume jewelry in a coloful, fun way.

For those who’ve followed Pitman’s work, you won’t be disappointed — she has almost all “new” jewelry here (items not featured in previous books). It’s another exploration through the collectible world, looking at manufacturers, styles, categories… all filled with photography that makes you want to add to your own collection.

Particularly touching is a section devoted to the author’s late friend, jewelry designer Ian St. Gielar, whose work will likely now reach a whole new audience.

And when it comes to style and jewelry (real jewelry), one name is often mentioned — and Tiffany is the subject of a new book, “Tiffany Style” by John Loring (Abrams, $50).

The book, which arrived here in “the” classic Tiffany-blue box, is a tour through “170 years of design.”

Loring, design director of Tiffany & Co. since 1979, has written about the company many times before, and this edition continues the elegant tradition.

Here, you’ll see everything from gorgeous art pottery by Louis Comfort Tiffany from the early 1900s to brooches depicting blackberries and cherries created in 2007. In between, there are 19th-century chocolate pots, 1902 vanity mirrors encircled with silver and Paloma Picasso treasures from the 1980s.

Throughout, the photographs are sharp, dramatic and inviting; the layout equally interesting.

I loved how some pages combine vintage ephemera with pieces of jewelry while others simply showcase work on a model, dramatically shot.

Some of the models, or photographers, you’ll surely have heard of — there’s Raquel Welch draped in Tiffany necklaces for a 1971 magazine, Sophia Loren wearing an Elsa Peretti bracelet (shot by Francesco Scavullo) and a series of Steichen photos from a 1940 Vogue spread.

I also enjoyed the pages devoted to other Tiffany creations, from vases sparkling against a Venetian lagoon to a luncheon table in Katmandu, colorfully set with Tiffany porcelain and flatware.

But in the end, it’s the Tiffany jewelry that’s most dazzling — I gasped (literally) when I came across the pages featuring earrings, necklaces and brooches set with conch pearls.

Now this is a book to spend time with — daydreaming or planning future purchases.

Sigh.
