Here are some additional ideas for the writer in your life. Some of these are a little pricier than the last batch and most are from Scribe Forge.
The Writer’s Epiphany is a special notebook designed specifically for writers to document all those strokes of inspiration so they will never lose an idea again. They are in the $50 range and come with various covers, from science-fiction/fantasy to MM Romance, with a smattering of non-genre covers like the above.
Who doesn’t want a good motivational poster? These are around $30 but they are specific to writers and their genres. Very cool.
If your writer likes sticky notes, these from Mr. Pen are under $20 and come in all sorts of cute and humorous styles.
For around $25, your writer can own their very own Literary Insults Poster, “meticulously researched” from the pens of the great masters.
This digital bundle from Scribe Forge walks your writer through the process of writing a science-fiction or fantasy novel. It’s around $60 and is “the secret weapon of over 14,000 aspiring and published sci-fi and fantasy authors.”
The Emotion Thesaurus, available in your favorite online bookstore in e-format or paperback, is the go-to resource for showing emotions in your character. If your writer is complaining about too much shrugging or eyebrow-raising in their manuscript, this is the book for them. It’s under $20 in each format.
The “Smash Writer’s Block” Card Deck features 192 prompts that help change writer’s block into an actual story. These encourage the writer to think deeply about their characters and the plot, so they can work through their block and start writing again.
For under $20, you can gift your writer The Author Stuck List, which covers six main reasons authors get stuck and helps the reader create a customized plan to overcome writer’s block.
For under $50 (digital versions are $20), The Essential Worldbuilding Blueprint and Workbook is just what your writer needs to create a believable universe for their stories. It includes 150 pages of worksheets that will guide them through every step of the worldbuilding process, from magic to culture to the stars in the heavens.
The Story Engine: Deck of Worlds is a 240-card deck of worldbuilding prompts. This can also be used by D&D players, so it’s a great all-around tool.
StoryArts makes a series of fingerless writing gloves to keep your writer’s hands warm as they type (or write longhand). Each set features excerpts from various classic literature, such as Poe’s “The Raven,” Winnie the Pooh, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (pictured). For around $30, your writer can stay comfortable in the coolest of temperatures.
And if you like the idea of writing-related clothing, Tee Turtle sells a variety of shirts under $20 for your writer or reader.
And if you’re still stuck, a gift certificate to their favorite bookstore or coffeeshop will always be welcome!
