10 Perfect Gifts for English Literature Majors

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Geneseo chapter.

What gift should you get for that English literature major in your life this holiday season? Not a notebook! For the love of all things good and pure in this world, do not get them another notebook! Here are some gift ideas that aren’t notebooks and pens.

 

Nancy Drew paper dolls for the mystery lover!

 

For the English major who sees the green light

 

For the one who knows that Shakespeare was the original savage

 

 

For the future teacher (put some k-cups in there, they need the caffeine too)

 

For the Sylvia Plath fan

 

For the one who knows who puts the Poe in poetry!

 

For the avid thesaurus user

 

 

For the one who’s always correcting your grammar!

 

 

For the one that you can barely drag out of the library

 

For the English and secondary education major who loves Yeats!

 

 

That last one might only apply to me! Don’t see something perfect for your English major friend? There’s also this article on gifts to get creative writers if your friend leans toward the writing side of English. You can also never go wrong with a Barnes and Noble gift card.

 

Happy shopping!
