2. The Bourbon of the Month Club
   Is there any doubt that the brown stuff is the most literary alcohol on earth?
3. A typewriter

4. A massive tin of mixed nuts
   No explanation necessary.
5. Noise-cancelling headphones
   So your favorite writer can do their work without listening to their neighbor’s music.
6. An ambiguously hideous sweater
   When it comes time to shoot their book jacket photo, they’ll need a wardrobe item that just screams, “I’m too cerebral to care about anything but comfort.”
7. “Inhalable” caffeine shooters
   Just because they exist now, and they’re great stocking stuffers.

I’d glad accept any of these items for christmas… start giving, people.
