Are you struggling to find the perfect gift for a blogger in your life? The thing is, if you are looking to buy them something they will need, it can be hard to know where to start, especially if you aren’t in the blogger circles yourself.

Well, look no further. I have some great suggestions for items you can consider when it comes to finding the perfect gift for a blogger.

Subscriptions, Services and Apps

There are many things bloggers pay for behind the scenes that you may be unaware of. Especially if you are new to this area. Bloggers like to run an organised house and as such, we tend to look for ways to help us do what we do easier, and automated to free up our time.

This means, social media schedulers, blog themes, domain hosting, domain names, image compression and so on. So if you want to buy something that will come in useful in the long term ask if there is anything they have been coveting but can’t afford that would make their life easier.

Props.

In this day and age, gone are days you snap a quick shot of something on your living room floor in dodgy light. I should know that is where I started.

These days, you need a range of custom backdrops, photography lighting and stands, decorative items and more. A lot of effort goes into many of the pictures you see bloggers taking and taking amazing pictures are what helps bloggers stand apart.

Equipment.

We are talking about laptops, PC (or Mac/Macbooks), printers, scanners, cameras, mobile phones, memory cards, extra storage and so on. Sure, these things can run into the £1000’s of pounds but even being able to contribute towards one or more of these items would probably be welcome.

Stationery

Bloggers go through a lot of stationery. Planner, diaries – in paper and online, pens, so on and so forth. We even use them as props in pictures if they fit with the theme of the image.

Coffee Gift Cards.

A lot of bloggers will work from home. Mummy bloggers may find it isn’t always feasible to move the working environment to another place due to small children and having to be at home and work around their schedule.

But those without children or with school-age children can find it easier to focus when working outside of the house. Even if just for a change of scenery. I know I work more productively outside of the house!

How Do You Know Exactly What They Need?

This is the tricky part, isn’t it! Especially if you want to get them a surprise.

• See if they have an Amazon wishlist.
• Show and interest. Ask questions about what they are doing currently – most of us have a million and one ideas or working campaign we are juggling.
• Check out the blog and see what type of items they use.
• If they have children, a significant other or someone else they divulge blogging with, ask them if there is anything they need.

I hope this gives you some gift ideas for a blogger and helps you find the perfect present for the blogger in your life.
