Whether you're a writer or simply love one, you probably know that shopping for writers is difficult. After all, we are quirky creatures.

Luckily, you're in the right place.

We know writers. We are writers.

And we know this: There's nothing writers love more than when loved ones support their passion and gift something that helps them do more of what they love to do.

So, we've compiled the 10 best gifts every type of writer to help you shop this holiday season:

 

1. For The Writer Who Wants To Finally Finish That Book

Smart Typewriter is the OG model in the Freewrite line. It combines the feeling of an old-fashioned typewriter with the perks of modern technology.

Smart Typewriter features a fantastically tactile mechanical keyboard, an easy-on-the-eyes E Ink screen, and useful writing stats, like word count and more. With a distraction-free dedicated drafting device, any writer — or writing wannabe! — will finally be able to reach "The End."

 

2. For The Writer Who Travels For Inspiration

Any writer who finds inspiration in the world at large needs Traveler, our ultraportable model that's featherweight and half the size of a laptop.

Traveler has a silky-smooth scissor switch keyboard that's quiet but more tactile than a typical laptop keyboard — each key has over 2mm of travel!

Don't forget to grab its custom Felt and Leather Sleeve so Traveler is safe on the go!

 

3. For The Night Owl Writer

Some writers find their best words when the rest of the world is asleep. That's a writer who needs Alpha Cosmic Edition.

This, our very first Alpha special edition, was crafted for dreamers and night owls to write by the soft, warm glow of the backlight, free from distractions and notifications.

Cosmic also comes with a custom charcoal felt sleeve with leather trim and colorful stitching, completing the creative mission.

 

4. For The Writer Who’s An Old Soul

Our popular "Hemingwrite" model pays homage to the most iconic literary personality of the last century. An officially licensed collaboration with the Ernest Hemingway estate, any Hemingway fan will find immense inspiration in this special edition of the Freewrite Smart Typewriter.

The "Hemingwrite" features Hemingway's signature on its hand-polished raw aluminum chassis that will develop a distinct patina over time.

 

5. For The Writer Who Always Puts A Smile On Your Face

Sunny days and bittersweet stories are front of mind when a creative sits down to write on Smart Typewriter in Lemon. This bright special edition will put a smile on anyone's face with its color-matched keys and tactile keyboard. 

HURRY — there are fewer than 20 of these beautiful Smart Typewriters left!

 

6. For The Writer Who Loves Freewrite

Artist Todd McLellan (famed for his "Things Come Apart" series featured by the Smithsonian) created this museum-quality "Freewrite Disassembled" print, which spectacularly reveals the intricate anatomy of the beloved Freewrite Smart Typewriter.

Any Freewrite fan would be happy to receive this collectible piece of heritage art that celebrates the Freewrite universe!

 

7. For The Writer Who Loses Stuff

Everyone has a favorite USB cable, right? The Freewrite 1.8M USB-A to USB-C cable is designed to connect with the entire Freewrite range, and it's always useful to have a backup.

But there's something we hear over and over again: users find themselves grabbing it for other tech, too. And it often gets nabbed by family members!

After all, it's nearly 6 feet long, features a distinctive braided nylon jacket, and is durable as heck.

 

8. For Anyone Who Wants to Write

Our Words Are Hard Writing Prompt Deck is designed to spark the imagination, tap into deeper creativity, and get those fingers flying.

This curated collection features 150 thought-provoking prompts that span 8 writing genres to reach every corner of the imagination.

This base pack makes a great stocking stuffer for all your writing friends!

 

 

And last but not least, a bonus:

For The Writer Who Has Strong Opinions

Look, sometimes there's only one person who knows what a writer wants: the writer. Cover all your bases with a Freewrite gift card.
