1. Writer's t-shirt or other promotional ware
Get a t-shirt with your writer's favorite writer slogan. Or come up with your own phrase, like Writers Are HOT, He's All Write With Me, etc. If you already know a t-shirt wouldn't please your writer, think about coffee mugs, pens, calendars, caps or bags all can promote their favorite phrase.
2. Invest in current writing project.
If your writer has been struggling to get their book project or script ready to shop for publishers or self publishing, think about paying for one of the costly expense items. Show your support; pay for the professional editing of their manuscript. Or if they are preparing for self publishing, pay for the book cover design with a professional book cover designer.
3. Desktop computer system
Aspiring writers need a computer. This is a wonderful way to inspire your writer to write more with a new computer. Or even if they have a computer, consider upgrading their current system to the latest technology. To cut cost, buy 1 step behind the latest technology. Don't worry; if you're buying from a store they won't even have it on the shelf if it's too far behind. Unless your writer is a techie they won't even notice their system doesn't have the widest screen with the latest techie jingles.
4. Computer accessories
Most writers print a lot. As a gift, consider upgrading their printer to a professional grade (something like a laser color jet). The laser printers (black or color) print more volume than a standard ink jet printer. Also, you might consider a home office wireless networking system. So he can connect all the computers together and use the same Internet connection.
5. Writers software
Perhaps your writer is a newbie and needs some software assistance. There are good choices for editing, novel writing and script writing, etc. If your writer has decided to self publish, there's now software for book cover design, book layout and templates for ebook covers and interior ebook design.
6. Favorite book series
People in general love series. In movie series, you get to know the characters their dreams, sorrows and challenges. It's the same with book series; whether it's a novel series or a self help book series. Think about getting your writer their favorite book series so they don't have to. They'll love you for it.
7. Website for writer
All writers need a website to promote their work in the 21st century. I mean why write it down if you don't want to share it with anyone. It's the new pen and paper of the millennium. Purchase a subscription with a company that has a website builder service. Let your writer build and explore on their own. Or if you know he doesn't want to do techie stuff, hire a website designer to design your writer a website. It may just open up a new world to them.
Don't let the writer in your life think you don't appreciate him. Choose one of the gifts above and touch their soul. I'm almost sure they will gush all over you with thanks. No need to tell them where you got the idea. Just enjoy the holidays with family and friends!
