Writer gifts available now!
Writers are easy people to buy gifts for, whether it's writing gifts for Christmas or writing presents for any other time of year. There's books, journals, software for writers, writing guides, and much much more that would all make fantastic and welcome gifts for us.
So this lens is kind of my indulgence - a list of creative and inspiring things that I would be delighted to receive as a writer, things I have received, and some items that are just too good to leave out.
If they make one writer happy, they might just make a lot of other ones happy too, whatever the occasion may be.
So if you know a writer, browse the suggestions below and find the perfect creative gifts for writers right here and right now. And if you're a writer, well, you might find some good hints to drop the next time someone asks you what you want!
You can also check out my other lenses on writing - Online Freelance Writing Jobs and Online Content Copywriting Jobs - you're guaranteed to be better off for doing so! Thanks for visiting.

What would my favourite writer gift be?
I got a Squidoo notebook for Christmas last year and I've used it to jot down all kinds of ideas, suggestions and 'must do things' for my Squidoo lenses! It's ideal for the job and I'm glad I got it. It was an unusual but much loved gift.
A Squidoo journal to make creating lenses even easier
Unusual gift ideas for writers (oh, and a money off deal too!)
So what exactly makes a good gift for a writer anyway?
It's a tough call. Writers are passionate people - they're passionate about writing and are constantly talking about it (not to mention doing it).
If you don't want to buy a book, you can always give them the gift that keeps on giving - a website of their own.
Mr Site offers a fantastic package for newbie website builders, and you can buy it in a gift box too.

For an even bigger bargain, simply visit Mr Site and enter the offer code shop-smoo.co.uk when prompted. You'll receive £5 off the price of the takeaway website with this code.

Journals for writers on CafePress
A journal is a writer's best friend. I've been keeping one every day for the past four years, and it's invaluable for ideas, jottings and therapeutic writing. As far as creative gifts for writers are concerned, it's one of the most practical ones you could buy.
It's also enabled me to write one of my books - click HERE and you'll probably guess why a journal was essential in getting some of the memories back that were vital to me writing it!
Gifts for writers on eBay
EBay is packed with writing gifts. And if you're not going to see the person your gift is for, why not buy an ebook and email it to them? Creative gifts for writers can come in many forms...
Writing gifts I'd like to receive from CafePress (hint, hint...)
Well I can dream, can't I?
See what you think of these...
And finally...

- I'm going to print this out and save it and when my husband asks me yet again what I want for Christmas I'm going to give it to him to read. Nice work.
