Stuck for ideas on what to buy your beloved word nerd for Christmas or birthdays? Clearly a generous book voucher NEVER goes astray, but if you’re after a something a little more creative check out these awesome gifts that THIS word nerd would be more than happy to receive (hint hint!)
Literary Scarf
We don’t get outdoors much, so when we do, make sure we look the shiz! These cute scarves come printed with passages from some of our very favourite books like Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, The Secret Garden and more.
Coffee Cup Warmer
I cannot tell you how many cups of cold peppermint tea I’ve choked down over the years. This awesome little device keeps your tea (or coffee) at temperature ready for when you can tear your hands away from the keyboard to drink it. Best of all, it has a USB connection to plug right into your computer.
Word Nerd Cup
My name is Anna Butler. I’m a word-nerd and proud of it! And what better accessory to go with that spanky new cup holder, than a spanky new cup?
Eyeglasses Holder
Where did I put my glasses? Why.. on this groovy little Easter Island Head inspired holder, of course! Practical sculpture. And best of all, according to the website it’s handcrafted from sustainable wood to support underprivileged artisans in India. What’s not to love?
Balderdash
Mental dexterity and the ability to convince others is an essential part of any copywriter’s skill set. This game lets you test your mental wit by inventing answers and bluffing your opponents. Oh.. and you know, it’s a great way to connect with family and friends too.
Decision Paperweight
Running your own copywriting business can be fraught with difficult decisions each day: should I wear my PJs or track pants to work today? Fortunately, this sleek little paperweight can take the decision out of my hands with a simple spin and a fast solution.
Ampersand Serving Board
Practical and oh so stylish! I’ve oft had a lunch or two of nothing but cheese and crackers, so love, love, loving this ampersand cheese & crackers board. And no more bikkies spilling off the sides when you’re juggling this with a glass of vino in the other hand!
Wine Pairing Towel Set
Speaking of wine (I’m a writer… it was always gonna go here) a great accompaniment to the aforementioned gift are these great tea towels offering super convenient food/wine matching information. With reds and whites, you can’t go wrong.
Magnetic Poetry Kit
This clever little kit filled with words of sorrow, joy and beauty will inspire your favourite word nerd to leave soulful messages of prose should the milk be running low. Alas, the milk that once floweth here is nought for now, thus I shed a tear.
Waterproof Notepad
Aside from 3:47am while my brain is up to its merry hijinks, many of my best ideas come to me in the shower. It’s always been my quiet place to think. So what better gift than this waterproof notepad to capture those flashes of brilliance? (I’m still talking ideas here. Keep it G-rated people!!)

I’ve seen all of these while shopping for others and thought… I could have that.
I would add a favourite novel done like this: http://www.spinelessclassics.com.au/
I keep hinting but no one’s hearing me yet!
Love the ideas.
And Belinda. That spinelessclassics thing is the. most. amazing. thing ever!
Very cool Belinda! And yeah, I keep finding super cool pressies that I’D like, when I’m supposed to be shopping for family and friends.
However….. maybe if I buy them anyway they could “regift” them my way 😉
Fab collection Anna – that decision-making paperweight appeals to the procrastinator in me!
If we add these to the ones I found for my own post – http://www.everywordcounts.co.uk/7-cool-christmas-gift-ideas-writers/ – we’d be able to keep every word nerd happy this Christmas 🙂
My wife would love an Alice in Wonderland scarf. And we have a couple of little ones, so the coffee cup warmer would really come in handy! (most of the tea and coffee we drink at home ends up being lukewarm or cold…)
Thanks for the tips!
Ah yes… cold “hot” drinks. The story of my life!
I hope you’ve added these to your birthday/Christmas wishlists for the year 😉
Haha, yep. You know the feeling. Add items to wishlist – tick!
