Artists are easy to buy for… they can always use more paints, brushes, canvases and craft supplies. But when it comes to gifts for writers, well… you’ve got the writer and the keyboard.
But there are things writers love. From large coffee mugs, to journals… cozy writers hoodies to cushions that support the back and art that inspires and motivates… we’ve curated and crafted a list of our favorite gifts for writers, authors, poets, and book lovers alike!
If you have any favorite gifts you’ve received, or gifted, that are not included send us a note and we’ll add your selections as well!

Multimedia Art Journals
When we’ve hosted the Creator’s Challenges we’ve found that many writers enjoy freehand writing and doodling to get their creative juices flowing. A picture can give writers writing ideas, and vice versa, writing can give artists visual ideas.

Apparel for Writers – Wearable Affirmations
iWriteDaily Long Sleeve T-shirts – Gold Feather Sun
The #1 habit of every successful writer… is the daily habit of writing.
Every day, word by word, every page becomes the chapter that becomes your book or article, writing your creativity into existence.
One of the biggest problems writers face is the long hours of sitting. Cushions can not only support your back to improve your posture, but can also add bright spots of color to your home decor.
Gifts for writers can include creative and whimsical, yet practical ways to remind writers of their passion for writing. And cushions… well, there’s always a use for them.
Whether it’s to decorate your sofa, support your back of arms, or pound the chair (or your writing buddy) when the going gets tough, these cushions for writers are great gifts for writers.

You can order just the pen (in multiple colors) with a black ink cartridge. Or the whole pen kit with multiple blue and black ink cartridges, an extra fountain nib, and a how-to booklet for writing.
MacBook Pro
Our most favorite tool of all… THE survival tool for writing that we use, the MacBook Pro by Apple. Need we say more?
While Apple products have fallen short in some areas in the past couple years, having converted from PC to Macs years ago, it’s still our favorite operating system by far. But whichever system you favor… these are the keys to the kingdom!
No reader’s gift list is complete without something from Harry Potter!
These are popular “heat” mugs that reveal different Harry Potter related quotes and references when things heat up.
When cold, the mugs are black. But when you add hot coffee, tea, or any heated liquid, it reveals images and words.
This image is the Golden Snitch that Harry caught during his first year. The saying on this one, which was revealed in the seventh book, is: “I open at the close.” If you click through you’ll see other graphic variations.

“I really think writing things down and getting your goals on paper… there’s something magical about that. I’m a person rooted in science… but when you set your intention and map out what you want to do, that part of getting it in writing seems to be a catalyst for manifesting.” ~Thom King, Serial entrepreneur, founder: Steviva Brands, iCon Foods, GuyGoneKeto
