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.
