Writers can always use a notebook to write their next best-selling ideas in. And, there’s always a shortage of pens. Getting them a notebook and set of their favorite pens is never a bad idea.

I love using Moleskin notebooks to write in. They’re sturdy and durable, yet small enough to fit in any on-the-go bag. Plus, they come in a variety of colors. You can even personalize their notebook if you want!

8). WordSmith Deck

There’s tons of tools to combat writer’s block. WordSmith Deck is another helpful tool. Featuring a series of cards, this deck includes 150 writing prompts that can be used at any time.
