If you have an author in your life, you may be wondering what to get them for the holidays. the truth is that most authors would be happy with a truck full of paper and wheelbarrow full of pens, but let's take a look at some great gift ideas for this year.

Writer Coffee Mug 15 oz White, Author Writers Publisher Columnist Journalist Men Women

I happen to own one of these, and I'm usually writing with this mug on my desk while wearing a crocheted sweater and crocheted slippers. Yep, that's what an author looks like - laptop, coffee mug and ten different types of blankets. If you can't afford all of that, just start with the mug. It's great for coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

NomadCraftsCo. Vintage Leather Journal - Lock Closure, Book of Shadows Journal, Grimoire Journal, Witch Journal, Vintage Journal 240 pages Antique Deckle Edge Paper

How about a vintage notebook for your favorite author? This is one of those books that you'll get your favorite author, and they'll keep it for years in its packaging because they can't think of anything good enough to write in it. I'd recommend getting two. then, they can scribble in one and keep the other for when they finally think of that million dollar idea.
