I’ve done a pressie post before, but as it was a few years ago and Christmas is almost here, I thought I’d do a festive update. If you’re hoping to go big and spoil the writer in your life, here are three ideas. (Based on pressies I’ve bought myself in the last 18 months or so because I’m too impatient to wait for birthdays and holidays!)
1. Ex Libris Christmas Jumper
To be honest, I think just about anything in the British Library shop would delight the writer in your life. But I’m a big fan of their Ex Libris jumper. It’s comfy, well made and a nice subtle colour, so I’m hoping I’ll get away with wearing it after the holidays, too.
I bought the medium jumper to make it big and snuggly.
2. The Stoov heated chair cover
A must for writers who don’t want to fork out on heating when they’ve got a day of winter writing ahead. This infrared heated chair cover is super snug. Add a pair of fingerless gloves and you’ve got a winning and warming combination!
You can pick them up on the Stoov website.
3. Paperweights from Choosing Keeping
This shop in London is another absolute treat for writers. I love their paperweights (I bought one to celebrate Small! earning out its advance last year). But their notebooks, pens, paper and desk accessories are gorgeous too. Everything here feels a little bit special. But here’s a link to their paperweight page.
What’s on your wishlist this year? Let me know in the comments.
