Day Three of 12 Days of Christmas for Writers (AKA Great Holiday Gifts for Writers 2010)

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me:

10 ways to shop for writer mamas:

1. Coldwater Creek (scarves, shawls, and gloves, oh my!)
2. Writer’s Digest (books, magazines, and online market databases!)
3. Classes with yours truly (just what every writer mama really wants!)
4. Cafe Press (Check out my WriterMamaStuff or Nicole Rubel’s Rotten Ralph stuff)
5. Spa treatments (because we deserve it!)
6. A housecleaning service (another thing she really wants — consult your yellow pages or ask friends)
7. Art supplies from your local art supply store (sketch pads, a variety of colorful markers and pens, and some Silly Putty because she probably liked it when she was a kid)
8. Gift cards in generous sums from your favorite bookstores (How about one for real books and one for e-books?)
9. A Kindle (speaking of e-books, my new Kindle comes in pretty darn handy)
10. A new computer or an iPad (The mother of all gifts, but really, isn’t she worth it? Besides, she will need it when she starts earning money selling articles.)
