Fiction, satire, short stories, journalism, blogging – every writer has their style. Writing is an art form, and some are born with it while others work hard to be great at it.
Regardless of the path they’re on, the writer in your life has a magnificent passion. Even if you’re not a fellow writer yourself, you can still help drive that passion and inspire words to come.
These gifts for writers are ones we’ve specifically chosen to do just that.
Fred Happy Camper Eraser and Sharpener Set
One thing every writer should have is a unique workspace that’s totally personalized to their taste. If you have a writer friend who also loves to travel and camp, they will absolutely love this adorable eraser set.
Storymatic Game
Believe it or not, the writer in your life might like to write just to write, not because they’re necessarily penning the next great American novel. The Storymatic Game is a great gift for writers that allows them to explore their storytelling capabilities.
Storymatic includes two sets of cards that will dictate a player’s character traits and situation. Each player must follow the rules and create their story based on these cards.
It’s fun for the writer, who can force their illiterate family members to play and lose against them!
Letterpress Initial Necklace
A good journalist knows all about the printing press and how they used to print newspapers back in the day. It was a long and grueling process, and it no doubt has made many journalists today thankful for our high-tech operations.
These letterpress initial necklaces, which are mounted on sterling silver, reflect the beginnings of journalism and celebrate its history, making them the perfect gift for your writer friend.
BestSelf WordSmith Deck
As young writers, we can all remember being given prompts in school. We’d have to write about a specific topic for a certain amount of time or length.
While these prompts may have been mundane for many of the students, it was these same prompts that likely sparked a joy for many of today’s writers.
So why not dive back into prompts now? The BestSelf WordSmith Deck offers 150 prompts that serve to keep writers creative, energized, fearless, and motivated.
And it makes for a really fun and exciting gift.
Ernest Hemingway Luxury Pen
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. We’re pretty sure the person who said that was referring to any kind of pen, but we feel that the mightiest words of them all come from luxury pens.
The Ernest Hemingway pen is a great tool beautifully packaged in a satin-lined case. It will continue to inspire your writer friend with the quote, “In order to write about life, first you must live it.”
Ah, Hemingway.

Ah, the dreaded mental block. As writers, we all try to avoid it. But thanks to The Writer’s Toolbox, there’s no longer any reason to fear it.
The writer in your life will truly appreciate this toolbox, which is chock full of creative games and writing exercises to help spark ideas. It includes helpful things like writing prompts to get the creative juices flowing.

With a flip=up spout and a removable straw, the writer in your life will get a kick out of this bottle and will gladly carry it with them on their journeys to the bookstore and the coffee shop.
Boogie Board Blackboard Note
Back in the day, writers would scribble notes, ideas, and stories on paper with blank ink pens, only to crumble the pages up in frustration and angrily toss them at the wastebasket.
Today, writers tend to be a little more conscientious of the environment – and wasting paper simply isn’t cool anymore.
The Boogie Board Blackboard Note is a paperless notepad that makes a great gift for a writer with lots of notes and ideas. It’s lightweight, portable, and erases with the click of the button for continual use.
Writer Emergency Pack
Writing prompts are excellent tools for writers, but what’s even better than that?
Prompts with pictures.

It also has 26 detail cards that offer both helpful suggestions and specific tips. All of these come together as the perfect tool kit to help a writer suffering writer’s block – or one who simply wants to explore beyond their own knowledge.

Creative Block
Mental block: it’s a writer’s worst enemy. Nothing is worse for a writer than when they sit down at their laptop and stare into the abyss of their screen because they’ve got nothing.
The Creative Block is a fun tool that proposes over 100 brainstorming ideas to overcome that mental block. The prompts can help a writer find inspiration and tap into their creativity once again.
Typewriter Coaster Set
Who in their right mind doesn’t love a fun novelty gift? While writers tend to be very serious about their work, it doesn’t mean all of their gifts have to be quite so serious.
These typewriter coasters come in a set of five and showcase the keyboard of an old-fashioned typewriter. They sit conveniently in a holder that just so happens to mirror a miniature typewriter.
How cute!

They make the perfect addition to any fancy outfit, so your lover of words can wear them to their first book reading as a famous, published author.
Do Not Disturb Door Knob Sign
If you have a closer relationship with a writer, you probably already know how much we tend to procrastinate. The world is full of distractions, and it can be difficult for a writer to find a truly quiet place to work.
