On the 7th day of blogmas, my blog post’s gonna be …
A gift guide! I figured it’s time I jump in and make my own gift guide, but this is geared toward gift ideas for the special bloggers in your life!
P.S. I’m not affiliated with any of the links below. They’re just there to help give you inspiration!
Noise cancelling headphones
These can be really handy depending on where you decide to sit and do some drafting! Not all of us can sit in a relaxing and silent room by themselves, so this would be perfect for the person who spends time blogging at a public place or in a noisy room in general! Here’s the Best noise-cancelling headphones 2018: the best headphones for travel and commuting, according to Tech Radar.
Bath bombs
So I clearly am in the minority who doesn’t ever take baths, but I know this is one of the staples to the blogger’s self care routine! Click on the link above to view the Top 10 best bath bombs reviewed in 2018 by Ideahacks.com!
stationary
Gifts for anyone who loves stationary
Feel free to go crazy, or yell YAAASS or what have you. Stationary will hands down be one of the best, if not THE best gift you could give to a blogger. I don’t know any blogger who isn’t in love with stationary! There’s literally so many good stationary items out there comprising of items like:
- a diary
- bullet journal
- big desk calendar
- pens / pencils / markers / highlighters
- sticker tabs & sticky notes
- paper clips
- washi tape
and more!
essential oil diffuser & essential oil bundle
This lovely little thing can help alter moods, relieve stress/tension, promote better sleep, AND help you focus on churning out those blog posts. I bought one a few months ago and I seriously need to buy myself more essential oils! It’s that amazing.
new fuzzy slippers and or blankets
Warm yourself up and get comfy (but not TOO comfy) whilst blogging with a new blanket or fuzzy slippers! I personally am aiming to get myself a sherpa throw blanket because they are SO WARM and I just love the softness and feel of it!
daily affirmation cards or calendar or book
The world will tell us that we can’t and won’t make it as bloggers but GUESS WHAT?! People have done it and succeeded despite what other people think or say! The blogging community is a huge source of encouragement, but in case you needed something extra, a daily affirmation calendar or book can be a big boost! By the way, have you seen Ruth’s (https://ruthinrevolt.com) and Zara’s (https://zaralouu.wordpress.com/) Daily Affirmations Calendar? It is SPLENDID. And I mean splendid. It’s such a cute and lovely affirmation calendar, from the messages to the animations and colors!
adult coloring books
Did you know coloring books could help you relax, unwind, and relieve some stress? It can also help promote increased concentration! I personally want to make one of these gorgeous things but I’m far from that right now π
e-courses for SEO / affiliate marketing / Pinterest
I’m sure as a blogger, you want to make your blog traffic grow. You’d love to get into affiliate marketing, maybe become a brand ambassador or something along those lines! Looking into e-courses for these make an excellent present for any blogger. I know Ell from ellduclos.blog has e-courses for affiliate marketing and Pinterest so head on over to take a look (no, I’m not being sponsored or anything haha)! I personally bought a SEO and affiliate marketing bundle from Stack Skills and Skills Success (and I’ve yet to dive into it… π)
Tailwind
Tailwind is in conjunction with Pinterest (or Instagram, if you want). This is apparently that secret ingredient to making your Pinterest audience grow like CRAZY, which in turn means good things for your blog! Pinterest is not something to take lightly, and can seriously benefit your blog traffic. I’ve yet to jump in the bandwagon with this one (I know, you’re probably looking at me like “WHY aren’t you then, you hypocrite?! Haha) BUT I WILL SOME DAY SOON!
That’s it for this gift guide, I hope you liked it! xx
New Things
My Silver Linings During Lockdown
The Encouraging Blogger Award
Staying Safe During the Holidays – Blogmas Day 12
Awesome list! Stationery is ALWAYS a winner with me, and I’d definitely love a cosy blanket to snuggle into while I’m working at my desk. Ell’s courses are awesome, I’ve done both of them π
YESS! I want more stationary, always! i want to take her courses! β€οΈ
Yassssss stationary hahah, I love it, isn’t it so funny how excited people get over stationary – it’s just so pretty and I just want everything that looks cute! Also yes to bath bombs, before I moved out of my parents we didn’t have a bath, the whole time living there we just had a shower, so when I moved out I was like I have to get a place with a bath – so I did, and now I go crazy for bath bombs hahah. Fab list!

Great gift ideas I want them all lol. X
Thank you Kelly! x
This post wasn’t what I was expecting and I LOVED IT!! I was thinking it would be more like a list of resources, courses, etc. But I love how you made it very self-care/helpful in other ways besides learning. And to the stationary section, I just want to say… YAAAAAAAS!! So glad I finally found a group of people who love stationary as much as me. My family always thought I was crazy! Lol. This is a great list, Ger!! <3
Aww THANK YOU Abby!! Yess i was actually gonna do that initially but I wanted to do more self care stuff! π Your stationary obsession is totally justified!
Loved the ideas, I think now I want a noise canceling headphones because I can’t work with noise around me my brain won’t focus I will keep turning my head and listen to others conversationsπ the thraw blanket I want one too I just imagine how I will feel cozy and the softness touching mu skinπ
Keep up the great work

Thanks Nancy!! I do love the portability factor with noise cancelling headphones too!! I’ve yet to get myself a sherpa blanket but the ones I see are so expensive! I love stationary too and someday I’d love to make my own set of stationary! No problem girl hopefully you get some of these for Christmas! π€£
This is such a fab gift guide for bloggers Geraldine! I love those cat paperclips, so cute!! Yay for stationery, I’d be super happy if I got any of those items you listed. I have a bit of a washi tape obsession, he he. Bath bombs and cosy slippers are great ideas, as well as those headphone, I always blog listening to music. I’m loving Ruth & Zara’s Affirmation Calendar too, it is such a lovely idea and so positive too! I’m actually going to relax and do some colouring in later on. Thanks for sharing these awesome suggestions lovely! <3 xxx

Ahhh thank you so much Bexa! I would absolutely love those paperclips too, myself π I think music + blogging helps me feel more in the mood, as well as to focus better! I’m glad you liked it lovely π€π
Hi, Geraldine!
This is a great gift guide for bloggers. π
The stationery gift idea is a lovely suggestion and I love those cat paper clips. Sherpa is one of the snuggliest and cosiest materials ever made IMHO. I love my sherpa dressing gown!
The essential oil diffuser sounds ideal for relaxing and creating a gorgeous, spa-like ambience at home.
Hope you’re having a great weekend. π
