LastKiss - Etsy I hate doing the food shop. My children get bored going round the supermarket and start to fight. My husband takes too long to peruse all the offers. We always seem to encounter the shoppers who have no idea how to drive a trolley without injuring someone. The list of complaints I have around doing a food shop is rather long. What always brightens the event is using a shopping bag that a friend had made for me years ago for my business Murdering The Text . Why not do the same for your writerly friends? Cheer up their shopping trips with writer and book inspired bags. NinivzCreations - Etsy LAMarler - Etsy TheWritersStop - Zazzle sadbunny - Zazzle

I've mentioned already how I suffer from bad circulation in my hands so when I came across these writer's gloves, I did a little happy dance. Available in Pride and Prejudice (above), The Secret Garden, A Tale of  Two Cities, Jane Eyre, Romans 12, Wuthering Heights and Little Women, each pair features quotes from your chosen novel or piece of writing. You can buy them from Etsy store, Storiarts .

There's nothing better than taking a little writerly touch along on an evening out - even if no one notices it apart from me. Why not buy your writerly friend a piece of writing related jewellery or cufflinks.

Now this one is a little different. It isn't a writerly tool as such but as with the home decor in the previous window, this is a little indulgence for a writer - a book handbag. retrograndma - Etsy There's a brilliant selection of these to be found on Etsy.
