Books!
You can never have too many books. Language learners may enjoy:
- Novels and short stories in their target language
- Grammars and textbooks
- Graded readers
- Phrasebooks
- Books about language learning
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.
Also check out NotebookTherapy for adorable East-Asian stationery and accessories like this set of 20 watercolour brush pens.
These Funny T-shirts
Who doesn’t love a quirky T-shirt?
These shirts perfectly capture the struggle of thinking in two languages at once.
And for the grammar police:

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.
