Have you ever wondered what the gifts for bloggers are? While all bloggers have different styles and tastes there are still some things that I think most bloggers would appreciate as a gift.
Here are some of the best gifts for bloggers.
If you’re not a blogger yourself, you might be wondering what gifts you could buy for the blogger in your life, especially if blogging is something they are very passionate about.
While I’ve based this list mostly on things I would like to receive myself as a blogger, I did check in with a couple of blogging friends to make sure I was on the right track.
These gifts are perfect for Christmas and were written with Christmas in mind but could also be used for other occasions such as Birthdays too.
Best Gifts For Bloggers
1. Laptop / iMac / New Phone
So this is a big one. But if my other half had unlimited funds to spoil me with this Christmas this is 100% what I would be asking for.
My laptop works fine and it’s okay but I am saving up to replace it with an iMac when it finally gives up the ghost. I’d also love a desktop for when I’m working from home.
My phone is actually fine but I know loads of bloggers that would upgrade theirs in a heartbeat, especially to something with a better camera as bloggers tend to take lots of pictures and make videos from their phones.
2. Etsy Gift Cards/Vouchers
One thing I love about Etsy is all the digital products you can buy that make blogging life easier.
Design is not my strong suit so I’ll often buy Pinterest and Instagram templates that I can customise. It makes life so much easier!
Etsy is full of these types of products, so let your blogger friend or family go to town.
3. Notebooks
I’m yet to meet a blogger who doesn’t love stationary. I get through several notebooks during the course of each year as I tend to write to-do lists in them and use them for brainstorming ideas.
They also make great props for flat lays, so the prettier the better.
Here are a few examples of cute notebooks that would make great gifts for bloggers.
Personalised Notebook – Not on the Highstreet
2 for £10 Notebooks – Paperchase
Wild Daisy Notebook – Martha Brook
4. Camera
Cameras are often an expensive piece of kit, and one of those things a blogger may not buy themselves unless they are already super passionate about photography.
I think a good camera is especially important for food bloggers and fashion bloggers as their posts and feeds need to be more visually appealing.

5. Photography Backdrops
While there are plenty of budget options for creating beautiful backdrops for your images as a blogger, nothing quite beats having proper backdrops to use.
I think these make a good mid-range gift as they are not mega expensive but are good if you want to spend a bit more than on a few notebooks.
Photography backdrops come in a huge range of colours and sizes so you may want to check what would work best before buying. As a guide though, you can’t go wrong with a white marble backdrop as it goes with everything.
Backdrops From Captured By Lucy is where I personally buy mine from but there are plenty of places you can buy online.
6. Photography Lights
Lighting is so important when it comes to getting good photographs. Light rings, lightboxes and other lighting equipment make great gifts for bloggers and those who love making video content.
7. Acceseroies for Flatlays
What is a flatlay? A flatlay is an image usually taken from above with a central feature and some things around it. See the image below for an example.
This can be tricky to get right but one thing that can really help is having lots of accessories to help make these, such as cute pens, plastic flowers, candles, plant pots and so on.
8. Kitchenware
This is one for the food bloggers. As someone with a food blog, I have an entire drawer dedicated to plates, bowls and other bits and pieces for when I photograph recipes. This stops them from getting chipped and means they always look nice in photographs.
If you know a budding food photographer then getting them some lovely kitchen wear to display their food in or on can make a great gift.
I think classic blue and white ceramic dishes always look lovely as they are bright white and clean. You could also opt for a well-known brand such as Le Cruset.
Other ideas could be:
- Cakestand / Cupcake Stand
- Wooden Boards
- Ramekins
- Whisk / Wooden Spoons / Spatula
- Cake Slice
9. Anything Monogrammed With Their Blog Name or Logo
Sometimes it is nice to have a few things monogrammed or personalised with your blog name or logo. They look great on Instagram and in pictures for your blog but it’s not something bloggers would buy for themselves.

These are my gift ideas for bloggers, is there anything you would add?
