Let's do something slightly different this week, in support of our small business sisters and brothers.
Here are a few budding brands run by passionate people like us, whose original and individual creations would make perfect gifts for the writer in your life. (...Or for yourself as a well-deserved treat.)
1. Blue Stiggy
Blue Stiggy is owned by Textile Artist and Maker, Michaela. At Blue Stiggy, Michaela and her typewriter, Dorothy, make personalised, hand-bound notebooks.
Starting from £8, these beautifully crafted, eco-friendly notebooks are available on Etsy, and on Blue Stiggy's website.

2. The Paper Circus
Stationery is the obvious answer when it comes to writing-themed gifts - but many writers are already inundated, and might hardly have room for an extra pencil!
If you're looking for something on brand but a little outside the box, why not consider jewellery? The Paper Circus sells carefully crafted origami earrings made from hand-folded book pages.
The earrings can be purchased on Etsy, in an array of plated metal finishes. Starting from £10, they're a delicate yet stylish addition to any literary fan's collection.

3. Bagsy Me First!
Kate, the owner of Bagsy Me First, started making bags out of mainly second-hand books in 2013.
With a wide variety of different covers available, you’re bound (pun intended) to find the perfect gift. And, if you have something special in mind, the team at Bagsy Me First! can also do custom orders.
