Last-Minute Gifts for Word Nerds

Posted by Steph Auteri

[$525, myTypewriter]

This Royal Quiet DeLuxe typewriter burst into the full-color scene in the 1950s, and we're so glad. Also available in pink, red, gray, and white, it makes typing up your next novel that much more fun. The myTypewriter site has a lot more on offer, from such brands as Corona, Hermes, Olivetti, Olympia, Remington, and Underwood, and provides the perfect gift ideas for those who are lovers of all that is most tangible about the written word.

Don't despair, though. I have cheaper ideas after the jump that are just as (well, almost...) appealing:

 

[$195, Eden & Eden]

This giant nib necklace is composed of a gold laser cut nib with black crystal "ink" drops. And it's pretty. Plus pretty perfect for the writerly girly girl in your life.

 

 

[$50, The Library Shop]

The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World was compiled by a photographer who visited more than 20 historic libraries across the globe. One can't help but be fascinated by the care taken in the housing of such multitudinous sources of knowledge.

 

 

[$50, Zwello]

I believe I've posted about these bird feet bookends before, but I can't help but include them in this gift guide. I want them. Bad.

 

 

[$36, Glimmer Train]

Finally, why not give a gift subscription to a literary mag, such as Glimmer Train
