Writers are creative people. They are vulnerable and value an unconventional approach. However, they are people just like everyone else. And nothing human is alien to them. Writers, like representatives of any other profession, love comfort and appreciate practical gifts. But thanks to their creative mindset, they love non-trivial things and original gifts. Especially if they contribute to inspiration.
When choosing a gift for a pen worker, you need to take both of these circumstances into account. And if it is possible to combine these two extremes, that’s doubly good. We are ready to share interesting gift ideas that, without a doubt, will delight any writer.
Hours for self-discipline
It’s only at first glance that a writer’s work is a pleasant pastime, but his whole life is one continuous vacation. After all, you don’t have to run to work every day and then sit in a stuffy office from 9 to 18. Of course, a writer can sleep longer in the morning (especially if he worked all night) and give himself an extra break. But this is where the main difficulty lies - such a profession requires special self-discipline. If you give yourself too many indulgences, you won't get any work done.
An accurate wristwatch will help you control yourself - this will make it easier for the author to work exactly as long as decided, and not a minute less. And you won’t be able to get too worked up and get lost in time, even if you have a good watch.
Just try to choose something truly unusual as a gift, for example, a vintage chronometer with several dials, as if made to order from a fairy-tale wizard, or, on the contrary, something deliberately technological.
Tools for the technically advanced
A significant part of the masters of artistic expression will be happy with more varied offerings for one reason or another.
And for most of them, modern gadgets for writing texts are as necessary as a pen and inkwell - for Pushkin and Tolstoy. This means, depending on your capabilities and the scale of the occasion, you can’t go wrong if you give:
- computer;
- laptop;
- tablet;
- Printer;
- software;
- Dictaphone;
- printer paper, etc.
Printer paper has a tendency to run out at the most inopportune moment. The writer may not have even heard of convenient programs for working with texts (Letterspace, Daily Page, Scrivener, Day One, FocusWriter, Altenote, Hemingway, Bookmate, OmmWriter). But they so optimize the process of writing, editing and reading!
And a voice recorder will be so useful for an advanced user, especially if he is often away from his desk: how many important thoughts and images will help him not to lose in the everyday bustle...
Money in a gift envelope
Writers do not receive a monthly salary, but live from fee to fee. This is another fly in the ointment in the tempting ointment of a writer’s work schedule. Therefore, cash would be an excellent gift for any author. Pack them in a beautiful gift envelope. You can choose an option with some kind of universal inscription, or you can choose one with a specific wish on what to spend the money on. For example, “For a dream”, “For travel” or even “For bread and water”. The main thing is that your writer friend has a good sense of humor.
Such different creators...
The master of artistic expression is an extraordinary personality. But this does not mean that when choosing a gift for him you need to be guided only by the principles of sophistication or uniqueness.
Sometimes it's even the other way around. There is a special type of creative personality who is so immersed in his favorite work that he does not tolerate anything unnecessary in his life, and does not like to be distracted by anything from the process of creating beauty. Such a single artist will not appreciate souvenirs with writer’s symbols, newfangled gadgets that make his work easier, or rarities with a romantic overtone.
If you encounter just such an instance in your life, then the range of gifts that can please him is very limited:
- money;
- delicious food, drinks;
- privacy.
It has always been difficult to make money from writing, and any investment from the outside - be it financial assistance in publishing new books or simply material support for everyday needs - will be very useful.
Take care of some tasty treats for the person who forgets to eat on time, sitting for days on his opuses. This will be a real manifestation of your care for him.
Well, solitude is an integral component of creativity. A trip to a quiet sanatorium, a weekend without family members who have gone to the dacha - all this should be received with a bang by an artist who misses solitude.
Unusual mug for a break in work
Hot, sweet drinks stimulate brain function, scientists have come to this conclusion. Writers may be purely intuitive, but quite often, before getting down to business, they make themselves coffee or pour tea. In light of this, a mug would be a great gift! To avoid having to run around for refills several times, the cup should be large. Or even huge! Although for refined natures it is still worth choosing an elegant porcelain tea set. To keep the drink from getting cold, a thermal mug will come in handy. There are even options equipped with a drink temperature indicator.
Traditional Writing Supplies
There are also writers who still cannot imagine the creative process without paper and pen. And even gadget lovers mostly carry notepads and notebooks in their bags and pockets.
The process of writing by hand inspires many; and psychologists say that writing on paper stimulates the brain and awakens creativity. And not everyone is used to using electronic devices on the go: on the road or in a foreign place. This means you always need:
- pocket notebooks;
- diary;
- pens;
- writing desk set.
You just need to choose writing instruments taking into account the preferences of the person who will then use them: some people like checkered notebooks, others like to write on lined pieces of paper, and some are used exclusively to Moleskine with blank pages.
Autograph pen
Sooner or later, the writer will have to sign autographs and leave memorable notes on the spread of his books. To do this, he will need a comfortable handle with a soft core. This could be a respectable Parker ballpoint, a stylish rollerball, an eco-friendly wooden pen, or even a pen with ink. By the way, the pen can even be supplemented with the engraving “For autographs.”
If you think that just a pen is not enough for a present, you should choose a whole gift set, for example, a set with a tie, purse, flash drive or watch.
For good health
It is impossible to maintain the health of a constantly writing person only with the help of competent selection of a chair and proper lighting. The specificity of written work is such that your eyes still get very tired, your back and hands hurt. Therefore, it will not be superfluous:
- hand trainer;
- hand massager;
- eye Massager;
- neck massager;
- certificate for a massage course;
- membership to the gym, swimming pool, etc.
The selection of exercise equipment must be approached individually, taking into account the health status and wishes of the person himself. And you can present a certificate to the pool for almost everyone: swimming has very few contraindications, and the benefits are enormous for the whole body.

creative portrait
If you think for even a minute about what kind of picture would please a creative person, you will immediately understand that this is his.
The fact is that all creative people are a little proud, which is probably why they can do things that ordinary people cannot do. All this proves the fact that a portrait is an ideal gift. But such a gift will be as an addition to the main gift:
But an ordinary portrait is boring, but if you order a painting in which the recipient will be depicted as a famous commander, superhero or king, then you will certainly please the hero of the occasion.
Dream two: focus
In any profession, it is important to immerse yourself in the work process headlong. For copywriters, the result greatly depends on this: as soon as you switch to a message in the messenger for a second, the good idea for the text has already evaporated.
If notifications can be turned off in the settings, then this trick will not work with noise like repair work outside the window. So feel free to give your copywriter stylish earplugs for work. They allow you to adjust the position of the ear pads to the shape of your ear and adjust the sound level. Issue price: 3490 ₽ for pre-order.
However, not everyone likes silence. If your author is the type who likes to work while listening to music, give them wireless headphones. Price issue: there is a huge selection of models on the market with an average cost of around 2,500 rubles.
You can supplement this with a subscription to any service for listening to music: Spotify, Apple Music, Yandex.Music and others.
Lo-fi for work - pleasant music that does not draw attention to itself and does not interfere. And it crackles, as if playing from vinyl!
