Stationery

Language learners are suckers for pretty stationery. Pens, notepads, erasers in funny shapes…we love them all.

Typo is my go-to for notebooks, like this college ruled campus notebook in a variety of designs.

A Subscription To Their Favourite Language Learning App

It’s best to check with the person you’re buying for first to see which subscription will be most useful to them.  It can be tricky to judge someone else’s learning approach and level. You don’t want them to be stuck with a year’s access to something they have no use for.

Personally, I’ve found a LinQ subscription very useful.
