5 Gifts for the Writer

With the holiday's quickly approaching, the writer on your list will most likely be the hardest to find a gift for. Writers tend to be quirky and their taste in life is unique.

Here are 5 wish list items from a fellow writer:

1. Nocturnal Journal - Can't Sleep Write Now $11.61

This is one of the most ingenious things I have seen in a good while. It is a journal for the fellow over thinker that gives prompts to write about at night. Examples include: "Describe the taste of regret" and "Late night movie list." It is also full of quotes like "Sleep is the most moronic fraternity in the world with the heaviest dues and the most crudest rituals." -Vladimir Nakabov Definitely something to ease the fast paced mind of even a novice writer or an insomniac (sometimes they are one in the same).

2. Shower Thinking- Aqua Notes $7.65

Some of the best and most impressive ideas that have ever come to mind happen at most inconvenient of times. One of those time is most definitely the shower. "Shower Thoughts" are something every writer experiences. The moment when a perfect way to reword that sentence you were struggling with comes to mind is also the same moment that you don't have a pen and paper. Simply said, Problem Solved!


3. Caffeine- Chai Tea $3.40

Tea is one of two ways writers actively consume caffeine. That and coffee. Whether you like your tea and coffee with cream and/or sugar, I think we can all agree all it needs to have is caffeine. The brand of tea pictured above is one of my favorites! It is available at most grocery stores.

4. Perfume that reminisces that of aging paper- Paperback $19.70

I can't say it better than the website, but this is a beautiful idea! Enjoy:

"Did you know that volatile organic compounds are released by aging paper and that it is these that give an old book that very distinctive, pleasantly musty scent? Clever scientists at the University College London have even devised a method of olfactory-based analysis in order to accurately measure the condition and age of historical documents and literary works on the basis of their aroma."

5. A letter from the heart- A Handwritten Letter

The best thing you can give a writer is your own writing. That is all I can say. Receiving the art of someone else is so beautiful. It feels more personal than anything else you can do for a writer.

I hope you have enjoyed this list! Writers may seem hard to gift so I hope this it helps.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
