Tis the season to be giving, so I'm devoting this column to gifts for writers. Use the following to select the perfect gift for your writer friends or clip it and send it to those who will be remembering you this holiday season. Gifts for writers come in all sizes, shapes and prices. He or she may also appreciate a comfortable office chair, a filing cabinet, a fax machine, a digital camera or the fee for an upcoming writers' conference.
Books are always excellent gifts for writers.
Membership to a writing organization is another good gift idea. Less expensive gifts for writers include a postage scale, paper, calendar, ergonomic mouse pad, coffee warmer, containers for disks and CDs or an inspirational poster. Stuff a writer's stocking with pens, a roll of stamps, highlighters, paper clips, and other office supplies. If you prefer to give a sentimental gift, frame a treasured photo of the family, the grandchildren or a favorite pet for the writer's office.
