— November 24, 2015 — Art & Design
These gift ideas for writers are perfect for the budding author on your list. While books are a popular gift idea this time of year, why not opt for something more unique for the literature-lover in your life.

These stationary sets range from travel-themed writing tools to tear-triggering notebooks.

In addition to a good stationary set, many writers appreciate literature-inspired gifts that honor their favorite authors. These gifts can include classic novel notebooks, book-inspired beach bags and even romantic literary wines.
