“UNIQUE Gifts for Writers They Can Actually Use”
Friday 28 November 2025
Writers really aren’t that difficult to buy gifts for because much of the equipment and supplies they use runs out on a regular basis, but buying pens and copier paper for a writer is like buying a cookbook for a chef. Um. Here’s a list of goodies I know from experience the writer in your life will appreciate.
GIFT CARD FOR INTERNET OR MOBILE PHONE SERVICE
A writer MUST have internet access for research, marketing/promotions campaigns, EMAIL, social media, courses/webinars, professional memberships, and to stay up to date on current events associated with their work. It might surprise you to learn that almost all internet and phone providers offer gift cards, but you have to visit their websites for the best offers and service because cards are not always available on those mega-gift card racks in stores. T-Mobile and Verizon sell them online, AND they can be used to pay the gift card recipient’s monthly bill!
SMALL MASSAGE GUN (but not too heavy or small)
Of course, a gift certificate to a massage therapy clinic such as Massage Envy or a local spa will bring a smile to your writer’s face because sore hands, arms, shoulders, and backs come with the job. That said, a small hand-held massage gun is a wonderful thing to have near the desk and after a day of writing. Don’t go too small or too cheap because power is the name of the success game when it comes to reliability and usefulness. Something important to consider is the weight of the massage gun. A heavy one is difficult to hold with a tired hand. Check product specifications for weight before purchasing a heavy massage gun that defeats the purpose. Theragun Relief ™ is a good option.
