15 Ingenious Gifts for Writers


 
Do you have friends or family that are writers, but you're not sure what to buy them on their birthdays or anniversary?

I'm going to list some really great gifts that will fulfill most writer's wants and passions when it comes to writing, see list below:

1. The Classic Moleskin Notebook

For most writer's its become something of a cliche, strangely enough when asked most would love to receive a Moleskin Classic Notebook.

A reliable sturdy notebook available in plenty of sizes and colour's, helping your favourite writer look professional while out and about.

2. A Book About Writing

Writers love books, both reading and writing them. Giving a writer a book about writing is a given. See the five books below any writer would proudly display on their bookshelf:

On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Writing Nonfiction

Writing tools: 55 Essential Strategies for Every Writer

Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within 

Several Short Sentences About Writing 


3. A Night in a Hotel

Having a change of scenery can make a huge difference especially if you need to clear your head. Surprise the writer in your life with a night in a hotel.

Try last minute deals with Expedia, Hotels.com and Kayak for booking or researching your options.

4. The Bluetooth Keyboard

For any writer on the go a keyboard like the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard is a perfect accomplice for writing on a smartphone or tablet. For the writer that likes to switch between devices its a great gift at under $40.

5. The Typewriter

Sounds so old fashioned in 2016, but many people envision a typical writer sitting at a desk using a typewriter to write books or articles on (all thanks to Murder She Wrote).

The Brother typewriter is still one of the best selling typewriters around, or you could go for the more classic Royal Epoch Portable Manual Typewriter. Both Typewriters are a snip at under $200 and might be the tool to defy your favourite writers distractions.

6. An Astute Coffee Mug

You can keep your number one writer stay amused and caffeinated with a clever coffee mug.
