It’s the most wonderful time of the year again!

If you are like most, you probably leave stocking stuffers as a last thought. If this is you fear not– we have 10 stocking stuffer ideas for the writer in your life!
1. Notebook
A nice thick, hardcover notebook is the perfect gift for those who like writing short stories, essays, or are needing to organize their next novel. You can find these in office supply stores or in the office section of a supermarket like Target. If you prefer online shopping you can try searching for “lined hardcover notebook” on Amazon. For a personalized touch, try searching “personalized notebooks” on Etsy!
2. Pocket Notebook
This is the perfect idea for writers on the go. You never know when inspiration might hit and having a pocket-size notebook is perfect to capture those thoughts. You should be able to find these in office supply stores and the office section of stores. Try Amazon if you prefer online shopping!
3. Gel Pens
A nice set of gel pens is a great idea for a stocking stuffer because these are the best pens for reducing hand stress. Gel pens are also ideal for precise writing and come in an array of colors. They typically transfer on paper smoothly and with thinner lines compared to rollerball pens.
