What gifts would you writers like to receive this year?

I'm thinking a nice journal; perhaps a cool fountain pen to go with it. With most of my day involving computers and keyboards, getting back to the basics of pen on paper to express thoughts has an increasing appeal to me. From those private ideas, new books could spring forth!

 

Or a bottle of wine.

DJ has a good idea. I'd love a beautiful fountain pen. I had one once. A boyfriend's father, who was a VP at a bank, got all sorts of gorgeous stuff at Christmas, so much he gave it away to anyone who wanted it. Well, the pen jammed, and I threw it away. When I went to replace it, I was shocked at how much it cost. No one's gonna pay that for a pen. What pleasure it was to write with. One day I may buy one for myself. Not this year. My present to myself this year is a scanner. My husband's is a nightmare to use.
