So in this list, you will find a huge variety of doodle gift ideas that you can get for yourself or someone you know that is a doodle lover.

Doodle art pencils
You only need a pen and a piece of paper to doodle, right?
That’s right!
I love doodling with pencils but not all pencils are the same and create the same effect. If you want to step up your doodling game then perhaps getting a few different ranges of pencils would be a great idea.

The Sakura Pigma Micron was my first favorite bullet journal writing tool but it was in fact a drawing pen. What I love about it is how smooth it writes on paper, how the ink instantly dries and there are no smudges and of course, I love that the ink doesn’t bleed through paper!
I cannot say enough good things about these pens but don’t take my word for it, you can check the reviews too!
