There’s just over a week until Christmas! It’s time to make your gift list and check it twice. If you’re still looking for the perfect gift for the content creator in your life (or need some inspo for your own Christmas list) our 2024 holiday gift guide is here to help! In this article, we’re sharing five essential gifts for the creators in your life – and five more out-of-the-box gifts they’ll love.
Microphones 🎙️
If you’re over 21, take a drink every time we tell you to buy content creators a microphone. This is maybe the fifth.
But seriously, microphones are a must-have for the creators in your life. They instantly improve the quality of videos and audio, and once you have one you’ll never want to give it up.
Coffee Shop Gift Card ☕
A lot of creators are balancing a full-time job, content creation, and their other responsibilities…so they need a good energy boost. Coffee shop gift cards are a great fix! Not only will they get a caffeine boost, but working in a coffee shop can boost motivation and productivity.
Upgraded Tripod 📱
Most of us have a tripod or phone stand, but this one from Canvas is a step above! Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the arm and phone holder offer a full range of motion. The ring light comes with three different color temperatures to match whatever the influencer’s vibe is.
A Nice Journal 📓
Whether they need a place to store their best ideas or vent their frustrations, a journal is the perfect spot. Find a nice one with many pages, so they have plenty of space to work with. We love grid line notebooks as they offer more flexibility. Creators can use them as mind maps, storyboards, content planners, diaries, literally anything they need.
Tech Storage 👝
Even if your fav content creator only records on their phone, they’ve got a lot of gear to keep track of. Invest in a tech case to keep it all organized. We recommend something they can easily throw in a backpack or carry around.
DoorDash or UberEats 🥡
Everyone wants free food, and there’s nothing like getting dinner delivered after a long day of work. DoorDash and UberEats have tons of options, so your influencer can get a late-night treat or midmorning fuel for a full filming day.
Video Editing Software 🎞️
Whether you go with Capcut, Canva, Premiere, or something the pro’s use, a video editing subscription is perfect. Most creators are just working with a few basic tools they get for free, and a subscription to actual software will help them stand out and feel more creative.
Custom Merch 👕
The content creator you’re buying for probably has a catchphrase (or two). Maybe they have a cute logo or some kind of graphic/icon associated with them. Get them printed on a mug or t-shirt!
Mountable Phone Case 🤳
Tripods are great, but they aren’t exactly portable. These suction cup stickers go anywhere your phone does, and they can stick to any flat surface. Perfect for on-the-go creators.
If they’re a PopSocket die-hard, grab them a few accessories! PopSockets also sells car mounts and mirror mounts, among a wide variety of other accessories.
Portable Charger 🔋
This speaks for itself, honestly. Creators do so much work on their phones and don’t always have a charger nearby. A portable charger is a lifesaver.
Bonus: A Vlogging Camera 📸
A quality camera costs a pretty penny, so we know this would be a stretch for a lot of people. But if you can afford it or can pool money together with some friends, your influencer friend would love a vlogging camera! Not only will it improve their video quality, but it feels so official. Plus it shows just how invested you are in their career, and that’s something that will stick with them long after the camera is gone.
