10 Christmas Gifts That Writers Really Want
It’s that festive time of year when everyone thinks about what to buy their friends and family members for Christmas. Here are gifts loved by journalists, marketers, and content strategists.
Noise-cancelling headphones

Give the gift of silence, and they’ll love you forever.
