“Tis the season to be jolly!” And there’s no better way to spread a little holiday cheer than through thoughtful gift giving over the upcoming weeks.

With this in mind, here is our timely gift guide for creative writers and those who love them.

Choose one or a combination of several, to end the year on a high note and provide real “warmth” to others this winter.

Top 12 Gifts for Scribes and Creative Professionals

1. DECORATIVE THROWS

Throws are multi-functional. They can be used to decorate the home, to infuse color and style or they can keep you warm as an alternative to heavy blankets or sweaters, while typing on your laptop in your favorite chair. They make great, inexpensive gifts for both men and women.

2. AROMATHERAPY CANDLES

These items can help to inspire that writing muse and create a tranquil, aromatic atmosphere.

3. HERBAL TEAS

Herbal teas are reported to have many health benefits–including stress management, lowering the risk of Cancer and better weight management. Read more here:

4. PERSONAL JOURNALS

Journals enable writers to chronicle random thoughts, poetic ponderings, lists, blog post ideas and even future goals.
They are extremely practical and can be purchased online through Amazon.com or at your local Dollar Tree Store.

5. MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO WRITERS’ PUBLICATIONS

Not only are these subscription purchases a legitimate tax deduction, they can also help scribes identify potential markets and provide useful strategies to assist them in becoming more prolific and profitable in 2018.

6. DESIGNER PENS

This is a popular item seen on many wish lists.

7. TABLETS AND/OR CAMERAS

Score this and you’ll be someone’s favorite Santa this season.

8. CELL PHONE HOLDERS

Cell phone holders come in a variety of colors, sizes, styles, brands and price ranges. Go one step further and have it personalized with the recipient’s initials for an extra added special touch.

9. A CERTIFICATE TO A SPA DAY

Most writers and creative individuals juggle an array of jobs, side hustles and personal obligations, in addition to pursuing their creative dreams. A “Spa Day” provides an opportunity to rest, renew and recharge those creative juices.

10. PAMPERING PRODUCTS

Much like # 9, pampering products provide some much needed T.L.C.
Pampering products can include: bubble bath items, a massager, herbal teas, a romance novel, candles, oils and other items bundled in a beautiful basket. And don’t forget the chocolates.

11. WINE AND OTHER SPIRITS

Consider “gifting” bottles of the same adult beverages you have in your own personal collection and those that are well-received when you host friends and family guests in your home. You won’t go wrong here.

12. A SUPPLY OF RAMEN NOODLES FOR PERIODIC “FAMINE” CYCLES

Need we say more?

Additionally, you may want to consider a gift subscription to a writer’s organization like C.W.A.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

This concludes our gift giving guide for 2017.

We hope that it helped you to find the perfect selection for those on this year’s list (or for yourself).
Wishing you and yours a happy, safe holiday season with abundant blessings!
