Ten Gifts for the Readers & Writers in Your Life
This post has been bubbling in my head for a while and if I put it off any longer I won’t get it out before Christmas. Alas, I may be getting it out too late for you early-present buyers, but for you procrastinating ones, here ya go.
1. Good journal. I like Moleskine and Claire Fontaine. I tried a low-rent Barnes and Noble brand last year, and regretted it.
2. Cute notebooks. Field Notes. That is all.
3. Good pen. One of the best presents I ever got was the Namiki Vanishing Point Fountain pen. These Pilots are also pretty.
4. Writing gloves. Love these from Storiarts.
5. Bookish Ts, like these from Out of Print.
6. Book subscription or bundle. Lizzie Skurnick Books has a couple subscription options, plus is selling a bundle of the All of a Kind Family books. Persephone Books site is down, but they have subscriptions, too. Emily Books has a carefully curated subscription of E-books.
7. Noise cancelling earphones, maybe these?
8. Gift card for local, indie bookstore, find yours here.
9. Chocolate (or your favorite snack of choice). May I suggest the plain truffles from Maison du Chocolat. (Hint, hint.)
10. Coffee (or your favorite bevvie of choice). I use my Aeropress almost every day.
Anything I forgot?
