Blogging and influencing have exploded in recent years. There are thought to be over 600 million blogs worldwide, and anyone and everyone can take up this hobby.
There are many reasons why people start a blog. A love of writing, raising awareness for charities or health conditions, creating new income streams, and so many more. What started out as online journals for people to write their thoughts down has now become an internet sensation and captured the imagination of millions of people worldwide. If you know a blogger, being able to give presents to help them do what they love is a great idea, but where do you start? This post looks at some great gift ideas for bloggers.
Notebooks
You never know when inspiration will strike, and bloggers need something to write their thoughts down when this does happen. You will always notice a pen and notebook handy or a notes app on their phones if they prefer. So buying a notebook or digital notebook subscription is a great idea. Go one step further by choosing Personalised Notebooks to make your gift extra special. Don’t forget to ensure they have a good supply of pens to write with too!
Software
The more experienced your blogger becomes and the more they explore their hobby, the more software and tools they will come across to help them do what they love easier. From purchasing website themes to domain names for their blog, social media schedulers, online organisers, and image editing tools, there are many things available to enhance their blogging experience and elevate their blog. So why not ask them what they need and purchase something they will find helpful to keep their blog going?
Some suggestions include the following;
- Lightroom subscription
- Adobe subscription
- Presets
- Social media schedulers such as Buffer or Hootsuite
- Appsumo purchases
- AI writing tools
- Depositphotos credit for royalty-free images
- Video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro
Props
Bloggers love props for images. Not just for creating beautiful pictures for blog posts but for social media too. You can find many different props for photos, from cute ornaments to lightboxes, pinboards, and even dining ware and cutlery for food bloggers. Other great ideas include white foam boards to take better pictures, a flat lay for backgrounds, and camera accessories.
Equipment
Again, like props and software, bloggers will need more and more equipment as they pursue their hobby and want to expand their skills and do more. Things like a good camera – either a smartphone or DSLR, lighting equipment such as ring lights or light boxes, and tripods. Another option is an external hard drive, especially if they love Instagram or are a food blogger and take many images. Depending on the type of blogger, they are things like a GoPro, a microphone, and a gimbal to stabilise videos.
Gift Cards
Blogging can be a lonely business if you don’t know anyone personally or if this is your full-time job. And while there are many great online communities for people to join to get support, sometimes sitting at home in front of the tv typing into a screen can become a bit depressing. For example, purchasing them a gift card for their favourite coffee shop can help them to get out and work in a different environment. Alternatively, you can buy gift cards for anything as a treat for them, a local restaurant for a working lunch, or their favourite store to buy some comfy clothing to work in.
Online Courses
Blogging is about more than just writing. A lot goes into producing popular blogs and creating content that people want to read. Bloggers are writers, social media planners, content creators, marketers, photographers, editors, and much more all in one. There are so many things to learn that undertaking blogging courses or writing courses can benefit both new and experienced bloggers. You can purchase many different courses, including photography, videography, writing, marketing, social media, and much more.
Desk and Chair
Many bloggers will work from anywhere, laptop on their knee in front of the TV, kitchen table, or on the edge of the bed. However, as they start to take this more seriously, they will need a dedicated space to work from, much like if they worked in an office. A desk and chair can be an excellent gift for anyone spending a lot of time working from a laptop, such as a comfy chair suitable for spending long hours in. The best part is you can find desks and chairs in various styles and sizes to fit in even the smallest spaces.
Conclusion
Blogging is a great hobby to have, and for many people, this can lead to an entirely new career and way of life. For the blogger in your life, being able to gift them something they will love and can find helpful for their blog will enable you to buy them something extra special for birthdays, Christmas, or a random Tuesday in the week.
