Searching for the perfect gift for the writer in your life?
Are you a writer, or do you have a writer in your life?
While getting up every day, and being dedicated to the craft of creating something new is a rewarding challenge, there are plenty of tools, gadgets, and resources out there that can help make a writer’s life that much easier, and their routine that much more productive.
As fellow writer, that’s why I’ve put together a list of my top 20 favorite tech gifts for writers.
If you’re a writer yourself, or you have a writer in your life, check out my list for some innovative and inspiring writing gift ideas.
Cords are a thing of the past. Wireless keyboards are great for when working at a desk, and have a little more space to spread out. I use this same Apple Magic keyboard in my home office. They’re rechargeable, and pair automatically with your Mac. Get it here on Amazon.
If a traditional mouse is not for you, then Apple’s Magic Trackpad may be a good solution. Trackpads have a larger surface area than your standard mouse, giving you a smoother swiping and scrolling experience. It’s pairs automatically with your Mac, and is also rechargeable. Get it here on Amazon.
Apple’s Magic Mouse is a wireless mouse that gives you all the freedom and flexibility of a trackpad and mouse combined. It also works on any surface, so no mouse pad required. It’s small, compact, and wireless, so it can travel with you anywhere. Get it here on Amazon.
Apple AirPods Pro are comfortable earbuds that offer a lot of user versatility. They’re easy to set up, and pair seamlessly with both Mac’s and smartphones. Whether you wear in one ear, or both, the sound quality is not diminished in any way. I usually recommend the pro over the regular AirPods, because it has wireless charging, and stays in the ear better. Get it here on Amazon.
While a Kindle hasn’t replaced all my paper books (I still enjoy picking up a book, and getting lost in the story, while flipping through the pages), it has become a great travel companion for the office, or for long trips when I don’t want to carry a lot of books with me. Kindle’s also offer an extremely convenient book-buying process — you’re able to able to purchase on the spot, and start reading right away. Get it here on Amazon.
6. TFY Security Hand Strap for Kindle
The TFY security Hand strap is a great kindle accessory. It can get a little tiring trying to hold a Kindle upright. The hand strap allows you to comfortably adjust your Kindle position, without missing a page. It fits snugly on your Kindle and hand, and by far makes for a more comfortable reading experience. Get it here on Amazon.
Huasiru cases is another great companion purchase for your Kindle. It’s a book cover for your Kindle, that gives it an added layer of protection for when traveling or getting tossed around in a bag. They also come available in several different designs and patterns. (Buyer’s Note: I find these cases to be very snug on my Kindle, and it can be a little tricky trying to take it off. Overall, I like the look and the added protection of the case, but it does take a little work to pop the cover off. Also make sure you check the item description on Amazon, as this case will only fit certain Kindle editions.) Get it here on Amazon.
Even in the age of laptops and PCs, every writer still enjoys a good writing pen. Even when typing on my laptop, I still keep a nice pen and journal nearby to jot down ideas for other topics. Not only are these pens absolutely gorgeous, they also have a slightly weighted feel to them, giving you a smooth writing experience. (Make sure you check out the next item on the list, it’s a great companion purchase with this pen!) Get it here on Amazon.
9. Mini Aluminum Single Holder for Pen
As the name suggests, this item has many uses and is pretty versatile. I use it as a pen holder on my desk to go along with the above mention ballpoint pen. It’s great for keeping track of your pen, which can easily get lost in the shuffle of papers on your desk, while adding a vintage writing feel to your workspace. Get it here on Amazon.
10. Cell Phone Desk Stand Holder
If you’re all about less desk clutter, then this stand is a great choice. Omoton’s Cell Phone Desk Stand Holder allows for a tidier desk space, while still having your phone nearby. It’s also great if you love to watch videos on your phone. I absolutely love this desk accessory, and even after having mine for a few weeks, my husband went and ordered one for himself in black for his desk. Get it here on Amazon.
11. Azio Retro Classic Bluetooth Posh KeyBoard
If you love the old-time feel of a classic typewriter, but still want an up-to-date writing experience, then Azio’s Retro Classic Bluetooth keyboard is a great purchase. Vintage and modern all in one, this keyboard has a typewriter feel, with the capability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to Windows or Mac. It’s a beautiful addition to any office space. Get it here on Amazon.
12. Mug Warmer
Who doesn’t enjoy a hot cup of coffee while they write? The Sumind Mug Warmer is great for keeping coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or any other beverage warm while you sit and write. It’s great for a work or home office, and is small enough to fit discreetly on any desk. It also comes with a silicone lid you can place on top of your mug. Get it here on Amazon.
Add a little boost to work experience. Elevating your monitor viewing height helps to reduce eye strain and relieve sore neck, allowing you to type and read more comfortably. The Monitor Stand Riser also comes with a built-in smart desk organizer for your phone, and also an additional drawer for notes pens, and general office supplies. It’s an adjustable, desk space saver, great for any workspace. Get it here on Amazon.
14. Laptop Notebook Stand Holder
Urmust’s Laptop Notebook Stand Holder is an adjustable laptop stand, that allows you to lower or raise your laptop to a comfortable viewing height. It’s also compact and portable, so you can take it with you to meetings, coffee shops, or wherever you need to get to work. Get it here on Amazon.
Aduro’s Desktop Charging Station Hub charges up to 6 devices at one time. It has a 40-Watt total power output, and is compatible with all USB devices. Its small, sleek design makes it a great space saver for your desk, and eliminates the need for multiple charging outlet plugs. Get it here on Amazon.
Yootech’s Wireless Charging stand charges any wireless device without having to plug it in. This two-pack charging station comes with a stand to charge your phone vertically or horizontally, and a smaller round charging station that’s great for charging air pods. It’s unobtrusive design blends perfectly with any office environment, making it an awesome choice for any desk. Get it here on Amazon.
One of the best gifts you can get for a writer is something to protect their eyes while spending long periods of time in front of a screen typing. Prolonged exposure to blue light from computer screens can cause eye strain, blurred vision, and even headaches. Feiyold’s Blue Light Blocking Glasses block most of the harmful blue light from computers, phones, and TVs, giving your eyes much needed rest and protection. It also comes in a two-pack, so you always have one for home and one for travel. Get it here on Amazon.
18. Blog – Bluehost
Buying a blog is more than a gift, it’s an investment in someone’s dreams. If you want to get your work in front of a larger audience, a blog is one of the best ways to do that. Bluehost is a website hosting provider where you can choose your domain name and build your blog all in one place. Their plans include a free domain name for the first year, site security, and WordPress. Check out my How to Start a Blog tutorial here for more information, or click the link here.
19. Launch Your Blog Biz Course
Launch Your Blog Biz is a great companion purchase with a blog from Bluehost. This beginner-friendly course teaches new bloggers how to build a blog, market their content, and make money. This course covers everything from WordPress tutorials, email marketing, social media setup, and more. Check out my review post here for more information, or click the link here.
All blogs are required to have specific legal documentation to protect their content and their audience. The legal template bundle includes the three legal documents every blogger needs to legally protect their blog. These legal templates are customizable, easy-to-use, and available for download right after purchase. For more information, check out my review post here, or click the link here.
