I've been in the blogging world since 2012, and I can't begin to tell you the amount of money I've spent on learning new things, products to try to help make my life easier, and just because they looked awesome! However, I can tell you the gifts for the blogger in your life that help them make their blogging life easier. The easier the blogging life is, the more inclined they will be to make money from blogging. (Blogging is NOT a get-rich-quick program!)
Get Them Blogging Courses
While searching for how to start a blog will help, a person will still lose a lot of precious time. Not to mention, there are so many ways to do a blog. There are also plenty of people who teach others about the online world and will steer them in the wrong direction. I shared the Top Blogging Course from Professional Bloggers to ensure people invest in the suitable courses.
A Good Planner
A good planner goes a long way in a blogger's life because there is so much more to blogging than just writing and publishing content! A blogger must write content, create images galore, schedule social media, interact with their readers, and so much more if they have any hopes of making their blog a professional one.
You can get some cheap but high-quality planners from Etsy.com.
Like a good planner, helping them create a blog content calendar is a blessing. I recommend getting them the One Year of Blog Content in One Month by Ana-The She Approach.
A Website Theme
Ensuring your site is user-friendly is quite essential in the blogging world. Yet, you don't want it to be too plain, either. It has to have enough glamour to make readers want to return. HOWEVER, content will always reign as king. But website design is certainly queen.
You can give them the chance to make a beautiful, practical, and user-friendly site by letting them pick themes from these top theme-selling sites.
Here are some of the top blog theme-selling sites:
Elegant Themes
(My site doesn't entirely look how I want it to look, but I've reached the point in my blogging journey that to get exactly what I want it to look like, I would have to hire a website designer, which would cost over $2,000.)
Blog Hosting
Blog hosting services are vital to a blogger's success. I am currently QUITE pleased using Lyrical Host. Being with this hosting company has plenty of perks, and their community almost feels like a family! If you use the code sharinglifesmoments at checkout, you'll save 10% off any plan from Lyrical Host.
One of the most popular hosting services for many new bloggers is Blue Host. I personally have never used them, but they are highly recommended because they pay their affiliates a high commission.
Software To Help Bloggers
The one software system that I use the most has to be Canva Pro. I use this to make all kinds of things! It makes my life easier because I can share my creations from that program or save them on my computer. One of the pro features that saves my hide a lot is that I can get images from them because I'm NOT a photographer.
Grammarly is quite important for me. I use it to help with my spelling and grammar issues all throughout the digital world.
There are plenty of other awesome ideas that would make great gifts for the blogger in your life, but these are the most practical choices that will definitely help them save time and money. These things will also help them make money with their blogs.

So interesting. I’m actually working on a similar post that I’ve come at from a COMPLETELY different angle.
I look at the ways people can help to support a blogger I guess, with less focus on the nuts and bolts of what a blogger needs to make the blog happen.
I already had my post in progress, then I saw your title. So I went through and jotted down every idea I had floating around in my mind before visiting your post. I’m surprised to see that our posts will not overlap much, so I may go ahead and link your post to mine when I publish it (later this week).
Great ideas!
Spot on about blogging not being a get rich quick scheme. It’s more like a money pit for a long time with the hopes of it redeeming itself one day!
Blessings!

I’m glad that you had a similiar post in mind. I’m eager to see what you come up with.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
Great post! I still get the glazed eye look from people when I say I am a blogger even after all this time. There is so much that goes on in the background that no one realizes. On the same note, my planner is my lifeline. Thanks for sharing this week. #HomeMattersParty
I hope that blogging as profession makes more sense to the outside world in the comming years. It is quite an amazing profession, but it takes a long time to get to that point.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
These are great gifts for blogging friends Crystal. I appreciate you putting this together for us.
Visiting today from SSPS 339 #45,46&47.

Thank you for stopping by. Is there anything you would add to this list? Are there any particular blogging gifts you’d like to have this year?
