- | Cool:- Jenna McWilliams says she spent quite a bit of time this week digging up lists of blogging-related holiday gifts. “This was partially motivated by selfish desires, since as a blogger myself I wanted to offer my family and friends a (hint hint) useful resource for finding gifts for the bloggers in their lives,” she told us. heh On sleeping alone and starting out early , “In case you’re looking for some last-minute gifts for the bloggers you know, I offer the following products designed to show how much you love and value their work in that nebulous place we call the blogosphere,” she says, going on > > > T-Shirts, stickers, and mugs I actually don’t know many bloggers who would wear T-shirts advertising their blogging practices. I’d probably be more likely to wear a T-shirt that advertises my blog’s URL than I would to wear any of the shirts below, but on the other hand, I’m a big fan of the last two designs. These are, respectively, from One Horse Shy , North Shore Shirts , Zazzle.com , and teezeria . Mugs for bloggers , by zazzle.com. At the risk of stereotyping: If there’s one thing bloggers use, it’s mugs. Cafe Press gifts: T-shirts, stickers, and mugs . These are fairly clip art-looking, but there are some gems in the pile.

Gift Lists from Elsewhere Ten Great Gifts for Bloggers and New Media Moguls , by Catherine-Gail Reinhard (Mashable.com).

Idea #2, a laptop hideaway, is basically a $50 paperweight since no blogger worth her salt actually chooses to or even wants to stow her laptop out of sight. Suggestion #8, typewriter jewelry, is perhaps useful for some bloggers, but others of us spend so much time stuck to a laptop that we don’t have time for things like personal adornment and / or hygiene. 50 Perfect Gifts for Webophiles, Bloggers, and Internet Marketers , by SEOmozBlog. This list is fairly gadget-heavy, with several desktop toy-type items (including the Cranium Poindexter doll at right). In my experience, bloggers tend to lose / drop / break things with a fair amount of frequency, so exercise your good sense here. I do like the emphasis throughout this list on gadgets that can clean / feed / organize the typical webophile. Gadgets for Geeks , from Skimbaco Lifestyle. This list is exactly what the title suggests: a short list of a variety of geeky gadgets, including clocks, quirky USB drives, and the Kindle. HoMedics Shiatsu Back Massager This is a must-have for any blogger. Well, okay, it’s a must-have for this blogger. I tried one of these at a local pharmacy the other day and I almost slid out of the chair. I was JUST THAT RELAXED. Ho Ho Ho - .
