Holiday Gift Ideas for Writers and Editors

With the holiday shopping season upon us, I thought it might be fun to do my own little gift guide featuring the best holiday gift ideas for writers and editors. Make sure you read to the end – I’m giving away three of these awesome products!

1. Set of three Rifle Journals from Paper Source

These journals are the perfect size – Big enough to take meaningful notes, but small enough to carry in your purse or laptop bag. Plus, the covers are really pretty!

2. Starbucks Gift Card

While some might view the Starbucks card as an impersonal gift, I disagree. Starbucks is a favorite place for many freelance writers to work. Even if the writer on your holiday list doesn’t claim her local Starbucks as a second office, it’s likely that most of her work is fueled by caffeine. In my opinion, coffee cards are practical and usually appreciated.

3. Kate Spade Composition Notebook iPhone Case

This clever iPhone case invokes the classic black and white marble design of old-school composition books. I love it!

4. Amazon Gift Card

Amazon is another practical gift card stop. Your favorite writer can use the gift card to restock the pile of books on her nightstand or to fill up her Kindle. The best part is Amazon sells its gift cards online in cute little boxes decked out with bows or in festive holiday cards – And the fun packaging is free of charge! Another bonus is Amazon offers complementary two-day shipping on gift card orders for any last-minute shoppers.

5. Pajamagram Crossword PJs

I love giving (and getting) gifts that will make the recipient warm and cozy for the holidays. These crossword pajamas are ideal for the wordsmith on your list.

6. Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classics

The covers of these special-edition classics are gorgeous. A small collection would look great on bookshelf of mantle of any literary fan.

7. The Typescreen

I don’t have an iPad, but I want one just so I can get this adorable attachment that turns the tablet into a vintage-style typewriter.

8. Typewriter Key Jewelry

A number of Etsy artists make beautiful jewelry using keys from vintage typewriters – a perfect gift for any writer or editor, and an opportunity to support a creative business.
