Here is my advice:

English professor and author Janet Ruth Heller, Ph.D., says, “There are many book guides for writers and magazines for writers. My favorite magazines for writers are The Writer, Poets & Writers, and The Writer’s Chronicle. Subscriptions to these make good gifts, helping your favorite authors find new paying venues for their work.

“Also, the following books are excellent gifts for writers: Writer’s Market 2018, Children’s Writer’s & Illustrator’s Market, Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market, Poet’s Market, etc. All of these are published by Writer’s Digest.”

The article suggests a wide variety of gifts for writers.
