Let’s get started:

1) Smens (8.99)

Glitter Gel Smens – Gourmet Scented Pens, Colored Gel Ink, Medium Point, 8 Count by Scentco

If the writer on your list is a pen person like me, they will love these scented pens. Enjoy some of your favorite scents as you write that next big novel, notes, or use them for fun doodles!

2) Bag in a Bag Liner with Pockets ($17.99)

iN. Purse Organizer Insert with zipper, Nylon fabric Storage Bag with handles, for womens Handbags & Tote bags, neverfull, lightweight medium sized Black

What writer wouldn’t want to be as organized as possible when traveling? And the more organized the better, but that’s just my opinion. This nifty product offers the solution to that messy unorganized bag. Everything has a place and is easily located. The perfect travel companion for any writer.

3) Custom Pencil Sets

($8.99)

Sherlock Holmes BBC – Inspirational Pencils Engraved With Funny And Motivational Sayings For School And The Office

What better way to write those notes, stories on paper, or anything else for that matter with Pencil sets with your favorite writer/character sayings on them. I, myself love Sherlock and hope to order these very soon!

4) USB Typewriter Computer Keyboard

Now this is definitely more expensive, but I just couldn’t help myself. If the writer on your list likes the nostalgic or even the antique they will absolutely love this! The feel of a typewriter with the tech of today. It’s a win-win.

5) Paperback Fragrance ($19.95)

Book Candle – New Books – Literary Bookish Gift – 8oz Handmade

Is that writer on your list always commenting on the the feel and smell of books as they read, unfortunately with technology racing forward paperbacks have been replaced by computer screens. Though I love to hold and read actual books, I do tend to read on my Ipad because it’s more convenient. Someone was listening when all of us book lovers mentioned wanting the environment of reading a book. Now you can get the scent of paperback! You can choose from oils, lotions, perfumes, etc. Perfect for the recipient!

6) Classic Book USB ($29.95)

USB Digital Library – Includes 3000 Classic Books!

Now if the writer loves the classics, this is perfect. Pre-loaded with 3000 classic novels, they have the ease and convenience of inserting it into a USB drive and just reading! What could get better than that?!

7) Desk Organizers

What better way to display those pens and pencils from above than a new desk organizer or pencil holder. Grab one that resembles books or one that resembles the classic typewriter!

8) The Writer Box ($39.00)

SCRIBBLER – Subscription Box for Writers

This is a gift that keeps on giving. This monthly subscription box includes four or more gifts to keep your writer friend motivated to finish their book. Each book comes with a best selling book and autographed bookplate along with other goodies. Your writer friend won’t be upset to receive one of these as a gift!

Now you will be one awesome friend or family member in their eyes as they open suck a great gift!

9) Mugs ($13-20)

Book Lover Mug Gift, Bookish Gifts, Librarian Mug, Bookworm Mug, Yes I Really Do Need All These Books

Now I know mugs are one of those things on everyones list of things to get for writers and authors alike and for good reason. There are so many in so many different designs. You can’t go wrong with a mug with some book related words of inspiration no matter what your writer is drinking.

Search amazon.com for book mugs and you will find a huge selection!

10) T-Shirt/Sweaters ($15-30)

Drink Tea Read Books Be Happy T-shirt Geeky Book Worm Tee

Again, shirts are another one of those I see common on these lists for the same reason as the mugs. There are so many to choose from, you will definitely find a great one for the writer in you life!

Browse amazon for “book shirts” and you find plenty to choose from!

From the inexpensive to quite expensive there are unique gifts for every budget! Hope this helped you find a great gift for someone you know or a gift for yourself! Have any ideas not on this list? Add them in the comments! I would love to add them!
