Howat and Hutchinson
Desk Tidy and Pen Pot
These gorgeous leather desk tidies and pen pots are beautifully made with intricate stitching. These are the type of products that will last for generations and will complement the Chesterfield sofa of a reading room perfectly. Although we adore the traditional aesthetics of these desk items, and can see them in a wood panelled room with a real crackling log fire, we also adore the way they fit seamlessly into a contemporary setting too. They really do do it all. They’re very generous in size, and easy to clean, while they add an enviable style to any office.
Relax a little longerWe'd love your views on these

Antique Whale Bookends
These antiquited whale bookends are made of cast iron and are sure to last a lifetime. We love these in the office as they look so cute on our shelves and they’d also make good weapons due to the incredible weight (not that we’d ever condone that!)
Sprout World
Sprout Pencil
This pencil is amazing. Once you’ve finished with it you can plant it anywhere and grow a tree! It comes beautifully packaged and is sure to be well received. We were in absolute awe of this, what a lovely idea and a brilliant gift!
Amazon
Kindle PaperWhite
Of course, any eReader is great for a writer but we do prefer the Kindle Paperwhite as it enables us to retain the feel of a real book. The Kindle Fire is too much like a tablet for our liking, and is not very good at aiding relaxation due to the ability to check work emails (maybe that’s just me!)
I’ve tested the old paperwhite, so please don’t take this as gospel, as the new paperwhite may be different, but if it’s the same as the older versions, it’s certainly one of the best, most simple, eReaders on the market.
Keep an eye out for another post where we compare Nook and others to find the best eReader through vigorous testing!

Notebook
Beautifully boxed and covered with faux leather, this is a wonderful gift for any writer. There’s no need for gift wrap as the packaging respects the leaves of the notebook inside. We love it.
