By now I probably have over 10 notebooks, yet the gift of a new one always get me excited. Something about the blank pages tends to jumpstart my inspiration, pushing me to pick up a pen and start scribbling right away. This is only example of a gift that resonates with me as a writer. Receiving a book that addresses an issue I frequently deal with like writer's block is also high on the list. You know what they say, behind every writer is a great book.
