Writing Gift Set

For diligent note takers, aspiring journalists or devout doodlers, The New York Times Writing Gift Set provides an arsenal of beautiful notebooks. An elegant addition to any desk, the writing set is available in four colors and comes in a handsome gift box.

The writing set is the classic keeper of everyday things — records, thoughts, drawings and personal histories. The perfect gift for Times readers who like to write, the set is produced by Appointed, an American-made brand, based in Washington, D.C., that makes utility look luxurious. Each of Appointed’s thoughtful, well-designed products is practical, elegant and handcrafted with the finest materials.

The set comes with a classic 75-page spiral notebook, a pocketsize 50-page tear-off notepad and a handy to-do pad with 50 perforated sheets, each with lined paper. The Times name or logo is stamped in gold foil on each book.

The set comes with a sleek Times twist ballpoint pen that writes as smooth as it looks. Poketo, known for beautifully crafted writing instruments that are simple, fun and functional, teamed up with The Times to create the matte black pen.

The notebook and notepad have water resistant book-cloth covers and are bound with brass coils. The pages are lined, enabling you to take notes or contemplate the next New York Times best seller. Pages are also lightly perforated, so you can rip out a sheet with a flourish without getting that annoying confetti from other spiral notebooks.
