I like completing my Christmas shopping list early—the first week of December at the latest, but life happens, and sometimes, we have one or two left with barely a week before the 25th. If you’re like me, and you still need to get that perfect (albeit last-minute) gift for your writer friend, then here are 12 (the magic number during this season) gifts for writers that will arrive before Christmas (if you order now).
