One of my favorite things to do each year is to share my top gift picks for the holiday season, to inspire you to find the perfect gifts for the special people on your list, and maybe even do a little self-gifting as well. Here are just a few of my favorites this season (see the video below):
100 Years of Gatsby
2025 marks the 100th year since F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby was published and for the past year, we have been planning this collection to celebrate the centennial and the sparkle of the season. We have a new Gatsby Pen and even reimagined our best-selling copper page nibs as Gatsby Page Nibs with an Art Deco-style fan design. The pièce de resistance is our beautiful Pen Box, modeled after an 1920s cigar case we found in an antiques shop.
Unwrap The Nutcracker Pen
Next, I am so very excited to debut the first in our new exclusive three-part holiday pen series with our friends at Retro 51 based on the beloved holiday favorite The Nutcracker. The Toy Soldier Rollerball is a limited edition of just 750 pieces, and as usual we’ve designed a companion set of True Notes notebooks. (All three of our popular Christmas Carol series sold out very quickly, so get yours now, as this too will likely sell out fast.)
Bound for Adventure
Books always make the perfect gift, so this season we are so happy to introduce a new series of leather-bound books celebrating different destinations around the world. I’ve picked London, because, if you didn’t know, that’s where I grew up! Not only are they beautifully bound but the imagery is just stunning. So, pick a city… these special books are guaranteed to please all year long.
For a lover of the classics and poetry, we’re also thrilled to be introducing exclusive collectible leather-bound editions of literary classics including Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and The Poetry of Emily Dickinson.
A Gift that is Truly a Treasure
In preparation for this holiday season, we have introduced more than a dozen new True Writers. . One of my personal favorites is the True Writer Classic Wuthering Heather Pen, which evokes the moody, romantic feel of the moors in Emily Brontë’s classic novel.
The Best of Both Worlds
The Best of Both Worlds Leather Palm Folio in our soft, premium full-grain leather is back in a new assortment of colors, including this stunning Iris. Analog and digital come together beautifully and handily in this combination phone case and notepad. This is the ideal gift for the lover of making lists on paper and their phone.
High Velocity Writing
More than a year in the making, we’re delighted to introduce our very first click-action ballpoint pen, the True Writer Velocity, in a beautiful Carrara resin with 24k gold-plated trim. This clickable and slim new True Writer ballpoint writes like a dream. If you are buying it for a gift, grab one for yourself too!
Brushing Up Our Shakespeare
A journal or notebook is another ideal gift for writers. Our best-selling Shakespeare Journal is now available in a brilliant shade of Royal Blue in addition to the original Elizabethan Red. (I am partial to my red journal for taking notes at meetings.) The gilt-edged paper inside is smooth and substantial and a pleasure to write on. Add that extra-special touch and have it personalized. It's truly elegant.
Turnabout is Fair Play
Our merchandising design team has been hard at work innovating as usual, and we proudly present a wonderful new gift for the avid reader. The Turnabout Desktop Bookcase puts a new spin on desktop organization. It’s perfect for a desk, table or reading nook, and you can stock it with books, notebooks even a plant or photos. (It’s such a gorgeous piece, I may just be gifting this to myself.)
The Gift Shop Is Open
That’s a wrap on my favorite gifts. It’s always so hard to choose… we have hundreds more unique and distinctive new gifts this season, and I encourage you to browse and explore our Holiday Gift Guide so you don’t miss a thing.
Wishing you a warm and wonderful holiday season. Come visit us on Levenger.com.
