Gifts for Writers

Whether scribbling in a diary or pursuing a career as a science fiction novelist, we all know a loved one who has a way with words. When the scribe in your life is celebrating a birthday or you’re looking for an appropriate holiday gesture, consider the following gift ideas for writers:

Personalized Pen Set

Who said the art of using pen to paper is dead? Many writers jot down notes for their next best seller or enjoy self-editing their rough drafts by hand. Gifting a personalized pen set not only equips them with the necessary tools, but also adds that extra special touch. This Executive© Personalized Roller-Ball Pen features a removable cap where you may customize with any full name, title, or company. For those with a flair for the dramatic, consider an ink and quill set.

Writing Desk

Some writers need a personal space to call their own and a writing desk offers the perfect gift to allow creative juices to flow freely. Choosing a desk with a drawer for pens, notepads, and other knick-knacks is preferable. A shelf for reference books and other publications also comes in handy. To get an idea of the kind of desk a writer may use, consider this honey-colored Winsome Wood Writing Desk with convenient drawers and cubbyhole.

AP Stylebook

The Associated Press Stylebook is released every year and contains a wealth of information for writers, especially those that cover the news. The common rules of grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, abbreviation, and other writing gems are clearly written out in alphabetical order. It’s considered the “best-selling reference for 30 years for journalists, editors, students, and writers in all professions.”

Leatherbound Classics

An author of any sort will certainly take pleasure in leatherbound classics, which come in varied collections of literature from the likes of Shakespeare, Jane Austin, Edgar Allen Poe, and Jules Verne. Complete with delightful illustrations, this gift not only makes a sophisticated display for a writer, but can also spark the inspiration.

Typewriter Jewelry

The typewriter has long served as a symbol for writers and has been increasingly appearing in many different kinds of jewelry. Browse the endless collection of pendants, necklaces, charm bracelets, earrings, and rings. For instance, this Typewriter Key Necklace may also double as a good luck charm.
