Love these ideas! I would add these Book Worm gloves. I wear mine when I’m working in the bookshop. https://blackandbeech.com/collections/gloves-and-mittens/products/book-worm-mittens-in-navy-neon-yellow-copy

For my spine to be fully healed and fitness restored in order to live truly and be authentically me in my writing life . To continue in developing other practices :art and find my voice whether in song or reciting my writing

Possibly a few Pilates or yoga lessions would be a thoughtful gift for a writer with back problems

A gift token for a Cairo practic would be more handy . I have done Pilates and yoga for years

I need so many of these! Love this and thanks you!

Also, I would add tea for the list - maybe a bit specific but I even have a tea subscription and just making a pot of great tea gets ideas flowing 💖

I was just thinking of doing a tea subscription for my daughter! What do you recommend?

Great idea! I actually buy from renegade tea farmers, which is super small organic tea company, and maybe more on the pricy side and deliver once a year 😅 so I guess I'm no help, sorry

Oh yes I should add some suggestions!

I get a lot out of podcasts and Audible and I love to listen in bed, but that doesn’t suit my partner, who likes to go straight to sleep. A really good pair of headphones was a thoughtful gift from him a few years ago.

This list is genius and I've now been lost in the world of first edition children's books for way too long! Thank you, Beth for curating this✨

There are so many beautiful, useful ideas here. I love how cozy but practical this guide is! If I told my husband I wanted a pile of wood so I could write by the fire, I think he'd be so pleased 😆

Love this Beth, thank you. Such a cosy list of goodies -makes me wish I lived in a cold climate! I would love an app that reminds me to get up , stretch and move at regular intervals!

Can you give us a link for a good calligraphy set for a Tween?

Perhaps take a look at the suggestions in one of the lovely contemporary calligraphy books available, like Nib & Ink by Chiara Perano Xx

So many good things. I am treating myself to some book darts. I can stop using bits of paper that fall out of books or sticky notes that can't be recycled. Thank you for this Beth

I love this list! It is well structured and has a lovely tone. I would add flower essences. Lotuswei has beautiful products that can help writers overcome fear, to feel inspired and to experience so many other nudges. https://www.lotuswei.com/
