Are you looking for a gift for the writer in your life? You may be tired of the boring gifts. You know the deco pen set or the dated looking cloth blank book. No worries; with a little help from a fellow writer (that’s me); you can choose a gift that your loved one will love to keep. Besides all of that they will marvel at how thoughtful you are. To celebrate the writer in your life here’s 7 gift ideas to choose from:

1. eBook Reader
Most writers are avid readers. But like any millennium professional person, they struggle to find the time to fit reading in their schedule. Give them the gift of an ebook reader. The Amazon Kindle was listed as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2008. Your writer would enjoy the easy on the eyes electronic reader. Using cell phone technology one can download the books straight from the Amazon Kindle store after purchase. The books are cheaper and in a few minutes you’re reading your favorite business book or novel.

2. Laptop
Any writer would be thrilled to receive their very own laptop. If you are budget conscious, you may get the system one step behind the latest technology to save dollars. Consider getting the platform (Mac or PC) they are already using. Or find out if they desire to switch platforms before getting the new laptop.

3. Laptop case
Aspiring authors who own laptops enjoy a nice case. Try to suit it to your writer friend’s personality. If your loved one is one of those wonderful wacky writers, they would probably enjoy a creative looking case with lots of color. Of course, if their personality is on the conservative side then a more professional black or brown brief case would best fit. Or perhaps, if your loved one is female, she would enjoy a purse looking case.

4. Other mobile computer accessories
If your writer already owns a laptop and case, consider some of the mobile accessories. According to what came with their laptop, you might get them a mobile min-mouse, mobile printer or lap cooling desk. Thinking of mobility, a broadband card would be great. Your writer can be anywhere and connect to the Internet for business or fun without using Hot Spot technology. Some companies like AT&T or Verizon offer the card free with a 2 year contract at $40-$60 per month.

5. Dinner out
Hard working writers enjoy a dinner out at a restaurant they couldn’t usually afford. Expensive is great but you’ll find a little appreciation will work wonders in the aspiring author’s life. So whatever your budget can afford, make it a special meal. If you want to add a personal touch get a bouquet of flowers along with the dinner. For males consider a cookie gift basket, bottle of celebratory wine or champagne.

6. Writer’s survival kit
Create a gift set; or hire a creative person to design a kit with fun pens, pencils, notepads, coffee mug, pencil sharpener, eraser, favorite writing books, journal, novel and chocolate. Or make up your own list; just include both fun stuff and serious things. On the fun side, look for a miniature life raft or rope, oxygen mask. Anyway, you get the idea. Have fun and you can be sure it’ll be fun for your special writer.

7. Writer’s gift basket
On the same note as the writer’s survival kit, design a gift basket. In your gift basket instead of a survival theme go with a pamper theme. Put things that will pamper a writer’s hands and/or body. You can start with hand lotions, manicure gift certificate, bath oils and bubbles along with favorite book. Another idea would be to purchase their favorite novel and build a theme around it. Use the colors from the novel and perhaps some things from the setting of the novel. For example, if the novel is set in another country, use items native to that country.

Don’t let the writer in your life think you don’t appreciate him. Choose one of the gifts above and touch their soul. I’m almost sure they will gush all over you with thanks. No need to tell them where you got the idea. Just enjoy the holidays with family and friends!

We all know that men love their gadgets, their toys.  But what are their toys in 2009?  What are the best gadgets for men?  In this article, we’ll explore 10 Christmas gadgets for men.  Some are obvious.  Others may not have entered your mind.

The number one Christmas gadget for men this year is the Amazon Kindle.  The Kindle allows you to hold up to 3,500 books, magazines, and documents in the palm of your hand.  Want a new book?  The Kindle allows you to have it in less than 60 seconds with its built-in communication capabilities.  With the introduction of a new, larger model this year, the Kindle is easily a “must-have” for the gadget man.

Men love to have great TV’s and gadget-men like to have the top rated LCD TVs.  This Christmas promises to be the Christmas of the LCDs with newer and larger models coming out all the time.  From a 52 inch wonder to a small pocket LCD, you can find an LCD TV that he’ll love this Christmas.

Gadget men like to be ahead of the curve.  For these men, gift number three is the Roku Digital Video Player.  This device lets you download movies from the Internet (Amazon, Netflix, Blockbuster) and watch them on your LCD TV.  With this device, you will never need to rent a DVD again.

It’s a stereotypical saying that men never ask for directions.  With gift #4, they do not have to.  Get the man in your life one of the latest GPS devices and he’ll always know where he is and where he is going.  And, today’s portable GPS Navigator also does many other things like locate the nearest Walgreen’s or steakhouse while listening to your favorite music.

Gadget men do not want to watch movies on DVD.  This is so old school.  Get your man a Blue Ray Disc Player for Christmas 2009.  Combined with his new LCD television, he’ll be in viewing heaven.

Gadget men not only need cameras, they need the best cameras.  A little cheap digital will not do.  The Gadget man needs an SLR camera.  These are the ones that allow you to take all kinds of great pictures from any distance.  A digital SLR (single lens reflex) will have him taking fantastic pictures that he’ll show all of his friends.

One tech toy that all men must have is an MP3 player.  The best MP3 player for the money right now is the iPod Touch.  This iPod does everything short of make you breakfast.  Look for special deals on this iPod during the holiday season.

A gadget man worth his salt is not confined by a set of headphones.  The true gadget man plugs his iPod into a home stereo system that he plays throughout the house.  If your man is in need, consider getting him a great home stereo for the holidays.

One of the smallest, coolest devices out there right now is the Flip Video Camcorder.  This device fits in the palm of your hand and records hours of video in HD and then easily connects to your TV for inspired viewing.

And finally, as gift number ten, your beloved gadget man needs a Netbook.  These are super-small but powerful computers that you can bring anywhere.  In this connected world, it may end up being one of his favorite toys.
