Picking a gift for a writer
Writers do a lot of their work alone, usually with a laptop, a cold cup of coffee and a deadline they're pretending isn't there. So the gifts that stick are the ones that feel like a nod to that life without being cute about it. A hoodie for the long drafting sessions. A mug that never leaves the desk. A tee for the person who says 'writer' out loud now, after years of saying 'I'm working on something.' Make it theirs by changing the main word to what they actually do: novelist, poet, screenwriter, journalist, blogger. Or put their name on the second line, or the title of the book they just finished. For someone who just sent a manuscript out, or hit publish on a first piece, a shirt that says writer is a small way to say you take it seriously, even if they haven't yet. Kids who scribble stories all day get a kick out of it too.
Writer gift questions
Can I change the word to novelist, poet or journalist?
Yes. Type whatever fits into the text box and the preview updates. You can also keep writer and use the second line for their genre, pen name or the title of their latest project.
What's a good gift for a writer who just finished a book?
A tee or hoodie with the book's title or the year they finished it. It marks a real accomplishment, and they can wear it to a launch, a reading or just around the house while they celebrate.
Can I put a pen name on it?
Absolutely. Type the pen name instead of their legal name wherever the design has room for a name. Check the preview to see how it fits before you order.
Are there writer designs for kids?
Yes. There are designs on kids tees, both light and dark, and a baby onesie. Use the product filter on the page to see them, and add the child's name if you'd like.
What sizes do the writer shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a writer gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
Writer gift ideas
- A mug for the deskAn 11 oz mug with their name or pen name on it is the one that stays beside the keyboard through every draft. Swap the main word to poet or novelist if that's how they think of themselves.
- A hoodie for drafting seasonPut writer on a hoodie for the person who does their best work in the quiet hours, wrapped up and stubborn about finishing the chapter.
- A tee for a finished manuscriptAdd the book's title or the year they wrote it on the second line. It marks the milestone and gives them something to wear at the launch or reading.
- A kids tee for a young storytellerA kids T-shirt with writer on it suits the child who fills notebooks with stories and wants everyone to know it. Add their name underneath.
