Gifts For Writers

12 Gift Ideas for the literary people on your list

There's nothing nicer than receiving gifts from people who have put a lot of thought and care into them. It's definitely a lot better than those fruit cakes or anagrammed sweaters that are two sizes too small/large.

So what do you get for those literary people on your list? Those writers, poets, die-hard fans of anything and everything literary related? Chances are, if you're a literary person yourself, you know at least one other person who fits this description.

Well, here are some great ideas to choose from that I know I would love to unwrap!
