7 Perfect Gifts for Writers
By Shelly Yang
Are you hoping for something more than socks or bath salts this festive season? Whether you’re shopping for a literary loved one or you’re a writer looking to drop a hint to your own family (feel free to “accidentally” send them this link!), here is our guide to the perfect gifts for writers in 2025.
1. Writers Workshop Gift Options
Treat the writer in your life (or yourself!) to a year of creativity and connection with our new gift options for Christmas 2025. You can choose a membership for 3, 6 or 12 months, the perfect way to support a writing habit year-round. Gift vouchers are also available, which can be used to attend Writers Workshop events until the end of 2026. For a special price, you can also buy a ticket for Writers Day 2026, a programme of inspiring talks and workshops from published authors.
Important tip: Make sure to activate a membership voucher before 31st March 2026!
2. Juno Books’ Bespoke Book Box
Looking for a bookish gift box perfectly tailored to the recipient? Our partner, Juno Books, offers three Bespoke Book Box options containing a specially picked selection of 3 to 5 books. Beautifully packaged with bookmarks and tea treats, what’s not to love? Once you purchase, a short questionnaire will be sent to you to help Juno Books carefully curate the selection for the lucky reader to enjoy! If you’d prefer a gift card, they have a range starting from just £5.
By the way, Writers Workshop members get 10% off Juno’s books all year round!
3. Writers’ Clocks
The website Zazzle features a range of humorous writers’ clocks. This one, from the Women Fiction Writers Association, pokes gentle fun at our tendency to time-waste! From “coffee” to “write” to “more coffee”, now any writer can look at it and either laugh at the accuracy or wait until 6 o’clock to cry!
4. Fingerless Gloves
It can be cold in the lonely writer’s garret! These Jane Austen-themed fingerless gloves are a cosy gift, ideal for bringing both warmth and inspiration to a writer's hands.
5. Pencil Chocolate
Perfect for the writer who needs a sugar rush to hit their word count. This dark milk pencil-inspired chocolate bar is infused with cedar and pine, two woods used for making pencils. Finished with a delicious sprinkling of roasted nibs (the edible cocoa kind, not actual pen nibs!), it makes a tasty gift to nibble on while plotting (or panicking about a deadline).
6. Reading Decision Dice
For the bookworm-writer who can never put a book down, these reading decision dice are the perfect referee. Made of engraved wood with cute graphics, they’re a fun way to let fate decide, especially after a long day, when “one more chapter” usually turns into five. Perfect for those of us who read to procrastinate on actual writing (or sleep)!
7. Personalised Writing Journal
You can’t go wrong with the classic gift of a notebook. Designed to look like a tarot card, this hardcover writing journal features “The Writer” as its own archetype. You can customise the colour and add a name on the front, making this a one-of-a-kind place to manifest the next bestseller (or just jot down plot ideas).
Wrapping Up
We hope this list gives you plenty of inspiration, whether you’re wrapping a gift or adding your own letter to Santa. Did we miss anything off your personal wishlist? Let us know!
