How did this happen? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you still haven’t found a thoughtful present for your favorite writer! Fortunately, the research cupids here at Writer’s Relief have discovered some great Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Here are 12 last-minute gifts for the writer you love (and remember, that writer can be you!).

Valentine’s Day Gifts For A Writer

Flowers

Create a beautiful writing atmosphere with the classic gift of a stunning floral arrangement. You’ll help your dearest writer invoke all the senses as they take time to smell the roses…or the lilies, or whatever bouquet you send!

Candy

How do you fuel a writing marathon? There are lots of healthy snacks, but nothing beats the sweet inspiration of a sugar rush! And if you want to heat things up…how about some chocolate-covered jalapeños?

Books

Writer + book = Love! You can choose a book from your writer’s TBR list or favorite genre, or go the romance route with something from Jane Austen, Nicholas Sparks, or Nora Roberts.

Writing Tool Kit

Give a gift with a personal touch by creating a unique writing tool kit customized to your literary lovebird. A new Moleskine journal, some fountain pens, a coffee mug, a “Do Not Disturb” door hanger, and even blue light glasses are all great ideas for a personalized writing tool kit.

Comfort Zone

Writers spend a lot of time hunched over a keyboard or notepad. Protect your sweetie’s spine with the gift of a laptop stand, an ergonomic keyboard, a back pillow, or a comfortable writing chair.

Cozy Writing Gear

A sweatshirt or sweater, a cozy robe, a soft wraparound blanket, and some comfy slippers are what every writer is wearing this season. (And every season!)

Cup or Mug

Pour your heart into selecting a cup or mug that’s perfect for holding their writing fuel of choice, whether it’s coffee, tea, or hot chocolate!

Tea or Coffee Gift Subscription

A busy writer may not have time to shop for delicious flavor blends—so that’s where you come in! A subscription to a monthly tea or coffee gift box will remind your writer of your thoughtfulness all year round!

Vintage Gifts

If your writer has an eye for one-of-a-kind vintage style, check out the local used-book store, antiques store, or thrift shop for a manual typewriter, vintage briefcase, or out-of-print book.

Writing Desk Accessories

Head over to your local bookstore to select a new pencil holder, letter opener, interesting paperweight, or quirky bookends.

Writing Retreat

New scenery and new inspiration—what could be better for bursting through writer’s block? From writing retreat cruises to a retreat that culminates in a 5K for writers who run, there’s something for every author! Or you can simply book a local bed-and-breakfast to create a personal mini writing retreat for your special someone.
