Christmas is less than two weeks away (!!!) and if you are anything like me, you are not prepared. Oops! Today I’m sharing five gift ideas for the blogger in your life. You can find some gift ideas for your runner friends here. (note: this post contains affiliate links).
- Pay for your blogger’s hosting fees. Hosting a blog ain’t cheap. A great gift would be to pick up your blogger’s hosting fees for the next year. Or if your blogger is looking to move to a self hosted blog (you can sound all fancy when you ask them if they self host), I recommend either Bluehost or Siteground. Bluehost is where I started and until my traffic grew, it was perfect. Intuitive and easy to use. Once I was regularly getting over 10k site views a month, I switched over to Siteground and have been extremely happy. I’d recommend either of these hosting companies depending on your needs.
- Coschedule. I’ve written about Coschedule here and here, but in short it’s a great way for your blogger to stay organized with blogging. They will love it- trust me!
- A subscription to Tailwind. Tailwind is my favorite Pinterest management tool. I wrote about it here – it’s really excellent and I’ve been encouraging my blogger friends to check it out.
- Tech equipment. Does your blogger friend need a lens for her iphone to improve her photo game on her food blog? Check this one out. Or maybe a wireless mouse for their home office? Or even a tripod for their phone? You can get creative!
- A good book. Yes, a book. Ruth Soukup’s How To Blog For Profit: Without Selling Your Soul
is absolutely fantastic. I bought the book and then took her course (which I recommend!) and I found it incredibly helpful!
What’s on your list if you are a blogger?

Karen @karenlovestorun
i have so many friends that LOVE theirs i knew i had to include it!
I’ve been looking for a planner. Is it called the life planner? Or is there a specific one for bloggers?

No, just the life planner…unless there’s a secret one I don’t know about! 🙂
I have heard how glorious this EC planner is but to tell you the truth I have a planner that was less than $10 and I love it!
i hear that – i use coschedule and it works just fine for me! but i do have a new pen and paper planner that i’ll be using for training starting jan 1. 🙂
I LOVE my Erin Condren planner, just wish they weren’t so expensive!

I couldn’t agree with you more about my EC calender. It is freaking amazing for OCD people like myself. Lol I look forward to my new planner every year. Best investment I did to keep my life organized.

Great gifts. I would love a pc. Mine has some virus that I am unable to do anything. Maybe there will be a good sale after Christmas.

I’ve thought about it but I mostly post running pictures, so I think it’s okay…at least for now 🙂
I still need to figure out Pinterest! I know I keep saying that. I signed up for Tailwind but I am just clueless. That will be one of my goals for 2017. Along with meeting you and running with you!
Tailwind is great – once you figure out some basics! And YES! We have to meet in 2017!
