From the beloved comedian, writer, and director of Fantasmas and Problemista Julio Torres, a hilarious and whimsical journey through the art of giving. In this beautifully illustrated book from a brilliantly absurd mind, Julio Torres, cult comedian, filmmaker, and former Saturday Night Live writer, brings his signature surreal humor to this creative collection of gift ideas for every person and occasion. A playful yet profound reflection on human connection, each gift builds on the relationship between the giver and recipient. These are not simply objects--these are bridges: a sublet map to maximize the space in your apartment; a patient grandson who helps with technology; tiny, little stairs so your dreams can come out at night and dance. Delightfully impractical, yet deeply artistic and innovative, The Perfect Gift is the perfect kids book for adults: a celebration of the imagination, especially for those who expect the unexpected.

In 2023, he released his picture book, I Want to Be a Vase, illustrated by animator and designer Julian Glander and inspired by his HBO stand-up special My Favorite Shapes.
