Today I am sharing my Christmas Gift Guide for Bloggers. In the past 8 months of blogging, I have found some really useful tools for writing posts, getting awesome photos, and planning out shoots. I am going to share some of the things I use all the time as well as some items that I have on my personal wishlist.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR BLOGGERS
Steamer: I have never used a steamer more in my life than I do now as a blogger! But my current streamer is massive and clunky and awkward to use. I like how compact and easy to use this steamer is. This is on my wish list.
Garment Stand: A big part of planning out shoots is the clothing. Having a spot to organize all the clothes and accessories makes it much easier to see what I have planned and how it all works together. I like that this stand is foldable. Being able to put this away neatly between shoots is so nice. Another item on my list.
Letter Board: I cannot tell you how much I use my letter board! It is one of my favorite things to have for blog posts and social media posts. This is for sure a must have for any blogger. Grab this letter storage case, too, to keep your letters organized.
Phone Tripod with Remote: Having a tripod with a remote makes getting blog photos possible when I can’t shoot with a photographer.
Ring Light: We all know how important it is to have beautiful photos and a huge part of capturing a beautiful photo is the perfect lighting. The perfect lighting is not always possible so having artificial lighting is useful.
Planner: I am so old school and cannot get away from writing in a planner. I have tried to make calendar apps on my phone work for me but I just can’t. I absolutely love using a paper planner. For the blog, I need a month overview as well as weekly planning. This planner looks really awesome. It’s more specific to bloggers and has areas to write out and track goals, plan your month and week, and so much more.
External Hard Drive: Keep those photos and blog content safe with an external hard drive.
Bluelight Blocking Glasses: Tons of bloggers are working late into the night and the blue light from your phone or computer screen can be disruptive to your sleep. Wearing these glasses while working before bed will prevent that from happening so you can transition from work to bed easier.
Cash: Did you guys know running a blog is expensive?! There are so many expenses- monthly fees for hosting, membership fees for sites to create graphics, buying a website theme or paying a designer to build a custom design, paying a photographer, clothing or supplies for shoots, e-courses, and so much more. I know giving cash isn’t the most personal or exciting thing but I also know it would mean so much to your blogger and be really helpful to cover those costs.
