An Editor's Advent Calendar: 6 December

Are you struggling to think of gift ideas for the editorial professional in your life? Or are you a freelancer looking to drop some heavy hints about the presents you’d appreciate? Maybe you just fancy treating yourself in the run-up to Christmas – and what’s wrong with that? Even if the commercialism of Christmas leaves you cold, I hope you'll find some inspiration here.

​Seasonal gifts for editorial freelancers 

6 December: Tea

Many editors seem to require large amounts of tea to keep them going throughout the day. Connoisseurs might prefer loose-leaf varieties, but teabags are, perhaps, more convenient. I’m a fan of Yorkshire Tea (of course), but if you can get your hands on some Murchie’s Editors’ Blend – even better! (It’s Canadian, but the company will ship to the UK – email them for details!)

My own favourite blend
