Finding the right gift for the writer in your life can be daunting. You’ve already bought them their fair share of mugs, bookmarks, and other literary knick-knacks. And they already own all of their favorite books.
So what else do they want?
There are so many gifts for writers that could be helpful or inspiring to their writing or their day-to-day lives. If you’re looking for a practical and useful gift for writers they’ll genuinely be happy about receiving, I’ve got the list for you! I have even included some fun stationery items too that are personally calling my name.
Simple Lined Notebooks- Poketo's Simple Notebook is a perennial favorite thanks to its lined pages, durable, smooth cover, and sturdy Smyth-sewn binding that lies flat when open for ease of use. Environmentally friendly tree-free paper (128 pages) I love the sun and the sage!
Future Best-Selling Author Mug - A personalized handmade mug! Pick from ceramic, glass, or metal
Writer Emergency Pack- When your story gets stuck, Writer Emergency Pack has the tools you need. Fix plot holes. Spice up stock characters. Rethink your themes. Writer Emergency Pack contains 26 illustrated cards, each featuring a different idea for getting unstuck. The notion of using cards to help you write isn't new. Writers have long used tarot cards, looking for meaning in the illustrations, or decks like Oblique Strategies, with its koan-like prompts ("Repetition is a form of change"). The ideas in Writer Emergency Pack are designed to be less abstract, and more immediately useful. They're specifically tailored to people writing fiction, from novels to scripts, poems to plays. The cards focus on story, character, and conflict. Writer Emergency Pack gives you the questions that lead to great answers.
Everyday Mechanical Pencils- A beautiful wooden shaft mechanical pencil. Japanese stationery at its best! However, the text on the side is in French 'tous les jours mes stylos', which means "my everyday pen'. Each side of the pencil has activity to keep you entertained. For example: 'Watch a film' for Monday, 'Listen a CD' for Tuesday, 'Read a book' for Wednesday, 'Write a poem' for Thursday, 'Book a ticket' for Friday, 'Take a trip' for Saturday and Sunday. A great way of testing your French! Perhaps give it a roll and see where it takes you? You'll certainly enjoy jotting your notes with it either way!
Stationery Starter Set Pink- Gift the stationery lover in your life or yourself the Stationery Starter Set. With a load of supplies for reading, taking notes, and studying in style, this set makes for a practical, fun, and artfully designed gift.

White Lines Notebook- The White Lines Notebook is here to collect your boldest ideas. A durable, fabric-like cover features a linear design inspired by modern architecture. Soft blank pages on the inside provide a roomy canvas for your notes and sketches. The sturdy Smyth-Sewn binding lies flat when open for ease of use.
