Maryland gifts from Glyph Stationers
We carry Maryland-specific stationery, locally-inspired magnets and stickers, prints by local artists including Ezra Berger, and Maryland-themed greeting cards. Meaningful gifts for anyone connected to Havre de Grace, the Chesapeake Bay, or Maryland.
Gifts for creative people are designed to support a practice
A Blackwing pencil set honors the writer who takes their tools seriously. A Paperblanks journal gives the journaler a cover worth displaying. A J. Herbin ink bottle in deep violet is a beautiful object before it’s ever opened. These are gifts people keep and use.
Frequently asked questions
What are good gifts for someone who journals?
A beautiful notebook (Paperblanks or Field Notes limited edition), a quality pen (Platinum Plaisir or Kaweco Sport), and an ink sampler make an exceptional journaling gift set.
What are gifts for writers under $50?
Field Notes notebooks, a Retro51 Tornado rollerball, a bottle of J. Herbin ink, and a Rhodia writing pad all fall comfortably under $50 and make excellent standalone gifts.
What is a good gift for someone who writes letters?
A wax seal kit. It is the rare gift that is beautiful sitting on a desk and genuinely used, and most people would never buy one for themselves. Our kits start around $16 and include a solid brass stamp and sealing wax, with initial monograms, symbols, and wood or Murano glass handles to choose from.
Do you carry wax seals for wedding invitations?
Yes. We carry sealing wax in dozens of colors, wedding assortment packs, and adhesive seals that skip the melting entirely for large invitation runs. See the full Wax Seals & Tools collection.
Do you carry letterpress cards?
Yes. Letterpress cards are central to our selection at Glyph Stationers. We carry cards from independent studios across the US—chosen for quality, originality, and the feeling they create when opened. View our full greeting card collection.
Do you do gift wrapping?

What stationery gifts are unique to Maryland?
