Thereare so many lovely gifts for writers out there, from extremely cheap tolavishly expensive. We must be the easiest people to buy for! Here’s my top 12 Christmaslist:
1.Journals and notebooks and paper: You can never have too many or too much, in myopinion, (recycled paper best if poss). A4 books for getting down to someserious writing. Smaller notebooks for stuffing in a handbag or pocket, alongwith a pen, for when inspiration strikes!
When walking on the beach this spring I even found a waterproof notebook that you could use in the rain or in the bath.

2.Yearly Planner Wall-chart: I love being able to put a daily sticker(occasionally two) on my yearly wall-chart to mark off each 1000 words written.The best part is coming to the end year of the year and having a wall-chartcovered in them - very satisfying.
Yes to the Smart Pen!
I'd also add rugs/blankets to keep your writer warm when they feel bad having the central heating on if they're the only person at home...brrrr.
Yeowch! Def rugs and blankets and maybe some chocolate sounds needed, Have just come back from walking the dogs by the icy river and am appreciating our tiny terraced house that is all toasty all year round (not quite so good in the summer!) x
The Smart Pen sounds very incteresting idea. Was dimly aware of such technology but had never thought of it as - possibly - a thing that a writer would use. Until now.
