Awesome Ideas - Christmas Gifts For Bloggers

If you're a bit stumped on what to get your bloggy friends for Christmas, we started a quick list for all the "good" ones in your life:

Stocking Stuffers ~

SONY HD BLOGGIE WITH LCD TOUCHSCREEN

This is a fun little gizmo you might not want to give away...looks like it will save you lots of time if you want to use video on your blog or website. Instantly send it to your computer after shooting your video.
We really want to try this! Hint hint, honey!

You can find this at Brookstone.com for $199.99 and free shipping!

From their site:
"Once you've caught the action on your Bloggie, it's time to connect and share.
Why keep the fun to yourself? Connect to your world and share your experiences with friends and family. No cables needed. Just flip out the built-in USB arm and connect directly to your computer. It charges the camera, too. Embedded Bloggie software 1.0 allows you to tag videos and images on your Bloggie while on the go and mark them for upload to your favorite internet sharing sites including Facebook and YouTube the next time the camera is connected to a computer. Using the built-in Bloggie software, you can share your videos and photo with a few clicks."

Plus they come in cute colors and are only $24.95, and you can get free shipping at Williams-Sonoma through Sunday!

E-Courses ~

Purchase an E-Course for Your Loved One - why not? E-Courses are fun, affordable, and the receiver of the gift can usually participate in the class at their leisure. Make sure to pick a class that let's the attendee choose when they want to follow along. No postage required! (Usually you can click through sites to find even more e-courses). You can search on Etsy, or Google E-Courses to find various choices, and we even have a nice selection in our Classes Category.

E-Books ~

There are thousands of e-books out there and some of them are really worth it. Here's a short list of a few of our favorites:

Ideas Just For Fun ~

• Purchase a Groupon or Heartsy gift card and let your friend pick out their own gift at a discount!

• Customized Photo Album using photos from their blog (use Kodak Gallery, Snapfish, etc.)

• Custom Domain (handmade gift certificate). Offer to purchase through Blogger or Godaddy etc.

• Make a pillow embroidered with your friend's bloggy name. Find a few examples here.

• Give your friend a Blog Guidebook gift certificate! Good toward Blog Critiques, Spotlights, and our Shop. Or grab a calendar—the link is in our sidebar.

For the kids ~

These little pads are amazing! It's like an iPad for the kiddos. But they're hard to find! So keep an eye out. Available at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Toys R Us + more.

For yourself ~

Any of the above (of course!)

But we highly recommend a Kindle or similar product!

The new Kindle Fire. Kindle's latest foray has some fun new features, including touch screen, video viewing and streaming, one free month of Amazon Prime (get free 2 day shipping all month right before Christmas!), and millions of movies, tv shows, books, magazines, and other printed materials, plus one free book a month (just read The Hunger Games!). Purchase on Amazon for $199 and get free shipping.
