It’s short, it’s sharp, it’s funny, it’s wise, it’s humane, and it can be picked up and put down at will. Even better, it has almost nothing to do with work, other than reminding you why you’re not all that.
a professional-looking backpack, a set of reporter notebooks, and some good pens (the latter is a very subjective choice).
Reporter notebooks, for sure. Staples often has packs. And I second the vote for pens, if you can find out the person’s favorites. Personally, I’ve always preferred old school clear blue ink Bics, but pens for writers are like pizza and Chinese food. So, so subjective.
