As a brand-new English Major, I've found a lot of need for several things I didn't even think of to ask for Christmas. However, I decided to compile this list anyway, considering I have out of town relatives, and this is a cry for help. Please, if you don't have a present for the English Major in your life, consider one of these:
1. Paper. All the Paper.
Something I never thought I'd want was MORE notebooks, but a nice present would be a hardcover journal used for writing. You can find one on Amazon for less than $20.
2. Pens.
Another thing I never thought I'd be so obsessed with, but I LOVE GEL PENS. These are the best pens I've found so far, and they are not exactly great for a college girl's budget. Buy twenty of them and send them to me, please.
3. A Book of Prompts.
Sometimes writers get blocks, and prompts are a wonderful way to get the creative river flowing again. I love writing prompts. You can get a great book of prompts from Barnes & Noble.
4. Literary Clothes.
I read "Harry Potter" at age four. I went through an obsessive "Hunger Games" phase. I'm planning my wedding with a heavy "Lord of the Rings" theme. Buy me things that reflect my obsessions please. Thanks.
5. A TYPEWRITER.
Totally nerdy desire, but I've honestly always wanted a typewriter. Even if it never gets used for practical purposes, it's a fantastic conversation piece for your study.
6. A Freaking Awesome Book Wallet.
These are the best thing since sliced bread, and plus, they come from Etsy, so you're helping the little guy.
7. A Lovely Smelling Literary Candle.
Put your book-obsessed friends right into the story with scents stolen from our favorite books. Again, a great Etsy find.
