Not sure what to buy the writer in your life for an upcoming anniversary or birthday? Here are 4 surefire gifts that they are sure to adore.
Minimalist Pen, writer’s are typically really finicky about their pens. That doesn’t mean that the pen has to be expensive… but if it doesn’t write well – they probably won’t use it. From taking notes while on the phone to writing in a journal, no matter how small or important the task, to a writer… the pen matters. A minimalist pen writes smoothly while also looking modern on the desk. Add a notepad and tie it together with twine to make this gift sing!
Vintage Books
Most writers either keep a bookcase worth of things to read within the year or they simply keep EVERY book they have ever owned. Vintage books are like ribbons of honor to writers especially if they are beautifully bound or one of their favorite old classics. While older classics can be expensive, vintage stores often move books for very little. You’ll pay more shopping at a space that is JUST for books. However, for antique stores that sell a bit of everything, they usually don’t know what they have and you can get a great 3 dollar bargain if you take a day to look.
Wax Seal
Nothing makes a writer feel more classic than a wax seal. You can get a full set of the stamp and a few wax dripping candles for under 30 dollars. A monogram is a nice touch. Timeless designs like roses are also a good choice if you can’t find the lettering that you are looking for.
Journals
A writer can never have enough paper. No… seriously. If you just went to their house and saw ten new journals… they will STILL use another. If you don’t know what to buy ALWAYS lean towards the basics. A journal, a minimalist pen, envelopes – each of these things will be used and loved.
Whether you spend just a little or a lot, writers are not money drive. (They don’t call them starving writers for nothing!) They write because they love it. Whether they are in the big bucks, or like most writers, just barely getting by, a writer writers because they love what they do. When you take time to celebrate their passion, no matter what you buy or spend… you can be sure they will love whatever gift they unwrap.
