This list of gift ideas for bloggers has been heavily requested from real bloggers around the world – it’s a collection of the top picks on every blogger’s wish list.
And if you’re not a blogger (or if you’re anything like my husband) you probably have NO IDEA what kind of gifts your blogger friends and loved ones *actually* want.
We’re a unique breed of human and the things that we want, need, and love tend to bea little less than mainstream.
But fear not, my friend!
I’m here to save you from that shopping headache and the dreaded mistake of buying a thoughtful, but unimpressive, gift for that awesome blogger in your life.
… Lookin’ at you, hubs!
Over the past year, I surveyed hundreds of part-time and full-time bloggers.
I asked them about the top gifts on their blogging wish list. And I’m here to share that list with you…to help you (and my husband) choose the perfect gift for the bloggers in your life.
Here are the top 29 gift ideas for bloggers (as requested by REAL bloggers)!

Let’s start with the practical stuff, shall we?
PRACTICAL GIFT IDEAS FOR BLOGGERS
In no particular order, we’re listing out the most requested practical gifts that bloggers want and need!
GIFT #1 : WEBSITE HOSTING
Every legit blogger has to pay for website hosting every year. It starts off relatively cheap and the price goes up as you grow.
Website hosting essentially provides a safe space for our blog to live on the internet. So, it’s kind of a big deal for bloggers.
Wanna make a blogger’s day? Gift them with a year of website hosting.
You’ll need access to their hosting account to pay for their website hosting directly. Or, you can buy a prepaid gift card and include a personalized note that says the gift is for website hosting.
Best practical gift ever!
GIFT # 2: BLOGGING EDUCATION
Most bloggers have their eye out for a great course or book that can help them step up their blogging game and reach their goals.
If your blogging friends or loved ones haven’t specifically mentioned the kind of blogging education they want to invest in, try drawing them out by asking what they’re focusing on or learning about right now in their business.
Here are some awesome courses and e-books that make great blogging gifts!
Pinteresting Strategies by Carly Campbell
This Pinterest marketing course is one of the most popular options out there and was created by a well-respected blogger. Every blogger has either taken the course or wants to take it! And it’s cheaper than most of the alternatives.
Definitely a good gift option!
On-Page and Off-Page SEO e-book Bundle by Debbie Gartner
This super affordable e-book bundle has two of my favorite educational products for bloggers. Buying the bundle gets you a nice discount and these books are a great gift idea for any blogger.
Stupid Simple SEO by Mike Pearson
This is a premium search engine optimization course that can absolutely change the game for any blogger that wants their content on page one of Google.
The only catch is that you have to sign up for the free SEO training first and then purchase through the webinar (or through later promotional emails in the email series).
Affiliate Marketing, Simplified! by Cate Rosales
This is my action-packed online course that teaches you how to increase your affiliate marketing income, as quickly and easily as possible.
It’s affordable, super detailed, and a great gift for bloggers that are trying to earn more money from their blogs!
Product Perfection by Tracie Fobes
This course walks you through everything you need to know about creating and selling your own digital products.
If you or your blogging friends have been wanting to sell printables, or other digital products of your own, this is a great and affordable educational resource or gift!
GIFT # 3: THE GIFT OF TIME
If you know any bloggers in real life, you probably know that we’re spread pretty thin a lot of the time.
Trying to create great content every day, build a profitable business, put out fires, and care for other responsibilities – it’s A LOT.
So, here’s a gift idea that bloggers won’t soon forget: give them the gift of time!
- Babysit their kids
- Walk their dogs
- Mow the lawn
- Hire them a housecleaner
- Run quick errands
A cute way to present this gift would be with a fun little coupon that they can cash in at their convenience!
GIFT # 4: THE GIFT OF AUTOMATION
Along the same lines, we always appreciate things that make our work life just a little bit easier.
There are so many practical gift ideas for bloggers that fall into this category, but here are two great ones.
Tailwind
This is a Pinterest and Instagram automation tool, and it’s a big time saver for bloggers that are committed to Pinterest marketing.
If you want to save a couple bucks and make this a gift that keeps giving all year, you can buy them the annual plan.
Publer
This is a scheduling tool for all sorts of social media platforms, and it allows you to create recurring content for up to six months in advance! Saving you a TON of time.
GIFT # 5: STOCK PHOTO MEMBERSHIPS
Most bloggers need access to stock photos at some point in their blogging career.
This is a practical gift that all bloggers will appreciate!
Some stock photo membership options:
You can usually just purchase the membership and give access to the blogger so they can download the stock photos that you bought for them.
GIFT # 6: LEGAL PAGES
All bloggers are required to have legal pages on their websites, but some can’t afford THE GOOD ONES. The ones that are drafted by an actual lawyer.
Although they aren’t super expensive, they might come as an unexpected surprise expense, so offering them up as a gift is pretty awesome.
Here is the legal bundle of absolute essential legal pages that every blogger needs: Legal Bundle by Amira from ASelfGuru.com…
GIFT # 7: EMAIL AUTOMATION
Email marketing is an essential part of every blogging career, and therefore, a necessary expense.
Don’t hesitate to give the gift of an email service.
If that blogger in your life doesn’t already have an email marketing system set up, you can create one for them through one of these platforms:
If they already have their email marketing in place, consider offering them a gift card or prepaid card dedicated to this expense!
GIFT # 8: SHORT PIXEL
