So without further ado, here are the best gifts for your friends and loved ones who are writers.
Notebooks are a staple in every writer’s belongings, and most writers don’t go anywhere without a notebook to write down new ideas or thoughts.
Your writer friends will love a new set of beautifully bound pages to fill with words. Not only are these useful, but they will think of you every time they use it.
Some of the most simple yet thoughtful gifts I’ve received were notebooks, so I know your writer will appreciate one too.
I got this as journal as a gift myself, and I love the quality and of it! It was made with care and the paper is amazing quality
Another high quality journal, this thin design allows it to be slipped into a bag. The perfect gift for a writer who is always on the go!
For a more elaborate and unique design, this notebook will be a cherished gift for writers.
Exclusive Writing Journal Handmade in Italy
And finally, for an elegant yet still simple design, this journal will look classy in the hands of a writer.
Even though we no longer write books using pen and paper (besides the few brave writers), it’s still nice to have a nice pen to jot down ideas.
Don’t let your writer friends carry around ugly pens; here are some pen gift ideas worthy of recording inspiration so you can remedy that.
High quality, simple and elegant, this 24K gold finish pen also comes in a box that will make gift wrapping easy.
This more affordable yet still high quality pen makes a great stocking stuffer for your writer friends!
This pen also comes with a little inspirational message for writers: “In order to write about life, first you must live it.”
This beautiful fountain pen will make a writer want to write forever and ever.
Clothes are a great way of expressing oneself, so why not help your writer friends tell the world they’re writers?
From literary socks to scarves to t-shirts, any writer would be really excited to wear one of these. Because I know I would!
These socks come from Out of Print, which has amazing literary themed clothes. I especially love their socks!
Also from Out of Print, this scarf features banned books: a perfect gift for the rebellious writer.
Any writer would say this shirt is not lying!
A great gift for writers who like a little bling.
Writers need caffeine: lots of it. So give them a stylish container to keep it in. And one can never have too many mugs.
Okay, so maybe you can. But we pretend one can’t. And any of these mugs would be gladly accepted into a writer’s home, making it a great gift.
Maybe this mug with first lines from famous books will help your writer friend with writing their own first line!
Good for morning writing sessions, before the coffee has set in and the writer is still grumpy.
Everything writers need to survive summarized in three words: the perfect gift for any writer.
Perfect for a writer who’s also a huge Star Wars fan!
The best gifts for writers will help them battle their writer’s block. This is one of the most common writing problem, so show you care with this Writer Emergency Pack.
Is your writer into games? Get them into the creative mindset before writing with these games designed to overcome writer’s block.
Give your writer inspiration with every cup of tea; each tea bag has a quote from a famous literary work.
Setting the writing scene for your writer with a candle inspired by their favorite writer, complete with an inspiring quote from that writer: the perfect gift!
The perfect gift for the writer who likes to plan their plot!
Many writers often have to spend lots of time stuck at home writing, especially now during COVID. Well, then why not give them a reason to enjoy staying at home with one of these cozy additions?
This will help them stay at their writing longer, and they will thank you for it.
Perfect for writers who don’t live alone, this will tell everyone not to disturb them: a writer is at work!
This cute pen holder will spruce up any writing desk.
If your writer doesn’t have a designated writing spot, make sure they’ve got one with this writing desk! This one comes with shelves that are perfect for keeping manuscript edits, notes or snacks at hand! It’s also elegant, simple and comes in three different colors.
There’s perhaps nothing more inspiring for writers than reading other writers’ works, but who has time to read these days?
Constantly on-the-go writers will especially appreciate the gift of Audible membership.
This way, it’s possible to get inspiration listening to an audiobook while also multi-tasking. And free time can be better used to actually write.
If your recipient doesn’t have it yet, then you can buy Audible membership as a gift here. Give one of the best gifts that keep on giving for a writer.
And if your writer doesn’t like audiobooks, then make sure they always have inspiration on the go with a Kindle.
Or, if they have a Kindle already, then give the gift of unlimited ebooks to your writer with Kindle Unlimited. It’s among the best gifts for inspiration.
For the writer who’s always on the go, it’s useful to have a writing device to write on that’s portable.
It doesn’t get much more portable than a thin, light tablet.
Looking for something more durable and easier to write on? Then I highly recommend the Macbook Air. As I write these words, I’m typing on one while sitting in an airplane coming home from a four-month trip writing while traveling.
The Macbook hasn’t failed me once during that time, and at roughly 2 pounds, this laptop was easy to take it along with in my backpack. Yes, it’s an expensive machine, but it’s also a reliable one that will be much appreciated by your recipient.
I hope this list helped you find the best gifts for the writers in your life! In the case that you need any other writer gift idea help, then please let me know!
If your recipient loves to travel too, then don’t forget to tell them about Voyage Scribe, a community for writers who travel.
