What is so unique?
As two budding neurodivergent writers, we wanted to share things that inspire us (and spark our creativity and dopamine). We love creating writing kits as mini collections to celebrate a writer's uniqueness. Writing kits are packed with thoughtful gifts that inspire writers through touch, writing prompts, aesthetics, games, challenges, and a few things to celebrate you! As two ADHD writers, we know our inspirational brains are always active- but sometimes we need a change of venue or activity. Hence, a bookish kit with creative side quests.
Can I personalize gifts?
Yes! Our handwriting isn't perfect, but we would love to personalize your gifts with an included card. (NOTE: we are still updating our website and if the message option doesn't appear - just email us @ guildedmonocle@gmail.com and tell us the following: )
The name of the gift recipient
The name of the gift giver
Your message - or at least what type of celebration or gift occasion.
