3. Audible Subscription

I love books—especially the paper kind—but audiobooks are just as fun and more convenient, especially when my eyes hurt. When pressed for time, audiobooks are perfect. Why not give an Audible subscription for Christmas? The first 30 days are free, and it’s $7.95 per month after that.

4. AP Stylebook

The ultimate gift for a writer? It’s a no-brainer.

If you want to go old-school, get a print copy for $34.95. The Kindle version is $9.99. If you want the online version (which is updated more often), pricing starts at $29. You save more if you opt for automatic shipping/renewal each time a new version comes out.

Sidenote: Can you believe the AP Stylebook is now in its 56th Edition?
