If you are a writer, would you like a chic typewriter like Jenny from The L Word for the holidays?

A typewriter?

Possibly as a nod to the profession, but to actually work on?

Dear gods no!

Sorry but between basic editing, the ability to save and transfer the data, and send a manuscript to an editor in a digital format is far too convenient, and that's before the spell checking, and formatting bonuses of a computer.

If you really want to impress a writer with a gift, find out what size keyboard they like, find thier preferred mechanical switches for the keys, and buy them a decent mechanical keyboard and some nice asthetic, but functionality usable key caps.

Just be aware of your budget, mechanical keyboards can get pricy very quickly…

… and can easily start an addiction to the *click* …

… and custom key caps…

… And the latest switches with hefty clock…

… actually this is a bad idea…

… buy them a coffee mug!
