Tips and product picks for left-handers.
The best small lefty gifts fix things a left-hander has quietly put up with for years: a pen that smears, a notebook with the wire in the way, a tape measure that reads upside down in the left hand. Each pick below fits in a stocking and solves one of those small annoyances.

A small notebook with the wire on the right, so it stays out from under a left hand. 80 college-ruled sheets. Made in the USA. Cover colors vary. Good for: Lists, journaling and pocket notes. See it on Amazon →
A curved barrel that keeps the tip in view and quick-drying black ink that smears less. Good for: Anyone who signs, writes or takes notes all day. See it on Amazon →
A refillable rollerball with a grip shaped for the left hand, made for learning to write but comfortable for adults too. Good for: Teens and kids who write a lot at school. See it on Amazon →
A mirrored sharpener, so the pencil turns the way a lefty's hand wants to turn it. Good for: Students, artists and anyone who still uses pencils. See it on Amazon →
Silicone grips shaped for the left hand that guide the fingers into a relaxed hold. Good for: Young writers, or adults who grip too hard. See it on Amazon →
The suits and numbers are printed in the opposite corners, so a lefty fanning a hand of cards can read them. With a normal deck, the corners are hidden. Good for: Card players and game-night hosts. See it on Amazon →
The tape reads right to left, in feet and inches and in metric, so the numbers are right side up when you pull it with the left hand. A rubber guard protects the case. Some reviewers mention wear with heavy use. Good for: DIYers and anyone who measures now and then. See it on Amazon →
A tape marked to read from either direction, with a small erasable notepad on the side and a built-in pencil sharpener. Good for: Woodworkers and contractors who want a pro-grade tape. See it on Amazon →
The screw turns counter-clockwise, which is the natural direction for a left hand. It folds in a knife, bottle gripper and bottle opener too. Good for: Wine drinkers and picnic bags. See it on Amazon →
Bundle two or three of these with a card and you have a lefty gift set. Bigger ideas are in our 2026 gift guide for left-handed adults.
