  1. Love this! Thanks so much for sharing.

  2. Any/all of these would be welcome at my house!

  3. Megan Brummer says

    Definitely added several of these to my Christmas Wishlist on Amazon!

    Merry Christmas to you!

  4. Woot! Woot! I love Christmas! Thanks for this post, Katie!
    I LOVE THAT BAMBOO KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!!!!! *mind explodes*

  5. I definitely want that Journal set, the gift box, and the bamboo keyboard set. Some of these are so awesome, like the typewriter coasters. I love old typewriters. They were a pain to type on, but I still love them.

  6. In Seattle, “Keep Clam” is actually the catchphrase of a popular seafood chain called Ivar’s. So people here would see “Keep Clam and Proofread On” and wonder what you were talking about. 😉

  7. I love your Christmas gift posts! A while ago, my parents asked me to send them a list of what I want for Christmas, and they complained everything on my list had to do with writing. But really, what else is there to ask for? 😉

  8. David Robert Wendel says

    What a great list for Christmas this year!! I would love to have/give many of them. In particular, the Premium Leather Business Portfolio and Professional Organizer, one of the signs (probably the first), Coffee Cup (Love my coffee), and your books for gifts, (since I have all of them.)

  9. Heather Schick says

    I’d love to have the bamboo keyboard and mouse. It’s definitely something different from the usual writers gifts I’ve seen lately.

  10. If I didn’t already work on a laptop, I’d be putting that bamboo wireless keyboard on my wish list. And I’m a BIG vintage typewriter fan (would collect more of them if I had the room) and actually have a picture of a deconstructed typewriter. But I would add this one to my collection, too. Thanks for the ideas.

  11. Nice list! I don’t think that owl is going to give me much inspiration though, more likely anxiety. He looks like he’s ready to peck me in the face if I don’t meet my daily word goal. Well, maybe that’s the sort of motivation I need… 😀

    • K.M. Weiland | @KMWeiland says

      Hah. I’m not sure why, but owls seem to be everywhere these days. They’re following you…

  12. Oh the books for sure!! I smiled when I scrolled down, not expecting to see anything that I really wanted. Creating Character Arcs and the workbook because I have your other books and they’re very helpful. My story is coming along but my book peeps need some shaping and tweaking. The book/workbook have been on my list since their release but I’ve been recovering from tendinitis and just starting to write/type again. I love to oogle the other goodies though, so thanks for the window shopping trip! Very cool finds!

    • K.M. Weiland | @KMWeiland says

      So sorry about the tendinitis. That kind of thing is no fun. Glad you’re enjoying the books though!

  13. I always love your gift for writers list. Thanks!

  14. Valerie Harbolovic says

    As I began the rewrite of my novel, I discovered your blog. Talk about synchronicity! It’s really helping me prepare before I resume my daunting assignment.
    So here’s a weird Christmas wish – I have to write a sex scene, and I don’t want to wind up on the Fiction’s Worst Sex Scene award list. Any pointers or guidelines or thoughts to share on this tough topic?

  15. Saja bo storm says

    Katie, I would love any one of those fabulous and inspirational gifts. You’ve given us an abundance of gifts through your posts. And I thank you. The gift that I wish for you is continued success. I wish for all the writers who follow your post the opportunity to present an audience with their written works.
    Happy Holidays! Peace and Love, Saja.

  16. Happy Holidays!

    It snowed all the way down here in Texas. The stuff’s all over dad’s barbecue pit.

  17. I’m nonchalantly screen-shotting different items on this list and passing them along to a fellow writer friend to see what she says… 😉 I really hope I’ll be able to get her something awesome from this list so I can buy through your links!

    Madi

  18. Great list! Hubby doesn’t know it yet, but he just bought me the Typewriter Coaster Set for Christmas. He even threw in the nostalgic jacks, because he’s such a nice guy. 😛

  19. My favorite in the list is the premium leather business portfolio and professional organizer. It looks so organized, neat, and unique.

    I also love the “Keep Talking – I Am Taking Notes for My Next Book” pendant. It is funny and it’s so expressive.

  20. Those typewriter coasters. Into my cart they went.
