Whether we like it or not, Christmas is fast approaching! Did you know there are only 50 shopping days left until Crimbo?! Do you have some lovely people that buy you pressies? Yes? Good! Well with that in mind I started to think about what I would like Santa to bring me and it quickly came down to blogging related things, obsessed? Quite possibly… Anyway, I was thinking about all the lovely things I would like,plus some of the fab blogging related things I have and I thought I would share the whole lot with you. Just in case you need some inspiration.
Photography reflector I have these reflectors. You get gold, silver, translucent, black and white in a little storage bag and they are great for using on the move or helping you with the light direction at home. Super cheap too.
Photo Lamp 84cm White Umbrella Light Stand Light Holder This is something firmly on my list for this year. Our house is like a cave and I always need more light. Add in to the mix winter and EVEN darker days and it does not make me a happy bunny, so I would love a little more light on the subject.
Photography backdrops – We are not blessed with a stunning house, providing wonderful picture backdrops wherever we look, sadly. So I have to make do, usually with white boards. However, sometimes that is not the look I need, which is why these wooden effect backdrops would be fab to have around.
Lightroom subscription – I have been nagged by friends for ages about the virtues of LR. I bought the subscription which is less than £9 per month and I am now a total convert! I adore it. You can subscribe like me or buy the software package. It makes SUCH a difference to your photos.
Blogging Day Mug – I think a blogging mug would always go down well with a blogger. This beauty is from the US, so you need to allow 20 days delivery. However, there is a similar one here in the UK if you get short on time.
BlogNix ticket – Last year I got my BlogFest ticket as an early Christmas Pressie. I really like the idea of getting blog conference tickets for Crimbo. Top of my list is the wonderfully sounding BlogNix Weekend in February 2016.
Twitter handle necklace – I am not 100% sure what I think of these. I am not sure if you have to be a bit geeky or supercool to wear these. Either way you can also get them from Amazon if they float your boat.
A Blog theme – I am super happy with my blog theme which I have had for a couple of months, but I love the idea of giving or receiving a blog theme as a pressie. A theme changes the whole look and feel of a blog and as we invest so much of our time and effort into our blogs, it is a lovely way to help someone get just want they want out of their blog.
Blog Planner – This bad boy is on my list. A totally tailored blog planner, with all the bits and bobs us bloggers need and you can chose the slogan on the front and the size to suit your taste.
Take Your Camera Wall Print – This print from the US is fab and if I had a dedicated office, and not a desk in the corner of the living room, then it would already be in the post to me!
Mini tripod – I have one of these, but I have no idea where it is in our house. So I may actually buy another as it would be really handy to use to record vlogs with.
The Badass Blog Planner – Another great planner/strategy book with tips and helpful advice. I have heard LOTS of good things about this book.
Oh Joy! – My wonderful friend Hannah bought me this awesome book for my birthday this year. It is by Joy Cho who must be one of the most successful bloggers in the world, with products in Target and other major US stores.
Busy Girl’s Guide to Digital Photography – I also have this, although I haven’t had chance to read it all. What I have read is great though.
Blog Beautiful ECourse – I think an ecourse is a great gift. Especially if it is something the person couldn’t afford themselves. Although this one is very reasonable at $24. Often it is things like this that we are reluctant to spend money on, as it is for ourselves, and there are hundreds of other things that we put before ourselves!
So that’s my Blogger’s Christmas Wish List. Has this given you any ideas? Are you hoping for any blogging related pressies this year?

I’ve just downloaded a trial os LR, I love it! I’ll miss it when that runs out. I loveeee the blog planner too. I enjoyed this post, a lot. xx

Ah thanks, so glad you enjoyed it xx
I could probably do with a photography course! What I really want is a blog planner book though.
Now this is a great list and I would also love a blog planner but I feel as though I should try some print out versions first before buying a full one, just to ensure I would use it x
Love this list. Sending my Husband for gift ideas. I really want a video camera. Thank you for sharing!
Love this. Just copied the link & sent it to my husband. I started with picking certain items & then thought sod it, I would love all of the above.
However sods law I will be doing a post in January called, “all I got for Christmas was a blogging mug” x

Ha ha! Fingers crossed for you x
Great ideas! I am going to share this with my fella to give him a few ideas.
Such great ideas and amazing gifts for bloggers! I had no idea there was so much on the market for us!! Love the reflectors must try those!! 🙂 Jess xx
I have the blogger planner but I need to apart using it a bit more and stick to it.
I really need a tripod for my camera and I love that mug but we have just too many mugs in the house. Maybe I need a clear out and make room for a blog one. Hubby will kill me. Lol
What a great list, thank you for this as Hubby is already asking and I have no idea what I want! Although I could do with a blog planner, have been trying to make a diary work – and it doesn’t !!!
These are great, some good ideas to hint at the hubby especially the blog planner. I love all things organisational and pretty!
Oh I love this! I really need the lights too, I’m not home during the day o taking pictures in the evening is a pain! I’ll have to look into gifting myself!
I need to sort out backdrops too, and the reflectors I’ve added to my Christmas list. I don’t know where my gorillapod is either. Must do a search round for it.
This could not have come at a better time as I am having my birthday and getting a blog planner for my birthday..now to decide which one! Have you used any of these before and which do you prefer? 🙂
These are really fab ideas – didn’t know Joy Cho had done a book, I really like her stuff so might have to get one! I really need to dig out my reflectors btw, haven’t used them in ages, they can really help, esp in portraits. #thelist
This is a great list, I hope santa brings you everything you want. I can do with all of these things, especially some kind of organiser. What I really need is a camera, the one on my phone just isn’t doing it for me anymore..any recommendations?xx #TheList
Great list ideas – loving the photography backdrops! And I think the necklace is cool.
#TheList
I love this collection, it’s given me a few ideas for my own Christmas list, thank you! #thelist
50 shopping days until Christmas? Really? *runs around blindly in a panic*
Great list though – blog planner is a must
#TheList
I want all of this. I might just print this and leave it laying around for hubby to see “hint..hint” #TheList
Great choices! You’ve reminded me that I need to get my own wish list made and get cracking on the Christmas shopping too.

I think I need to investigate some of those photography ideas and I like the sound of the ecourse 🙂 #thelist
I love these ideas. Perfect for any blogger! I’ve always wanted to try the Blog Beautiful course, I wish someone would buy it for me for Xmas! I can’t afford it. 🙁 xx
I love everything on this list. I definitely need to get some more photography equipment. The lighting in the house in winter means it’s so difficult to take pictures because of where we are. Brilliant list! xx
Who knew there were so many blogging related gifts?! I think I need a blog planner. #TheList
Just love this list. Just sent to hubby! The mugs are amazing and may need to get my mother in the USA on the case. Lights/reflectors screens amazing. Love the books! Thanks for sharing!
I’d have to go with supercool for the twitter handle necklace! 🙂 I really want to get a blogging planner, I’m so unorganised at the moment. #thelist
I’m not sure about the twitter handle necklace either, but then again I’m not one for things with my name on it at all – and that’s my proper name. I just wish my mum remembered this – when i was a kid my name was on nothing, so that was fine but now it is and now I get all the kid things (well not all the kid things but you know what I mean) I’m like mum, I’m nearly 50 !!! 🙂 A blog planner for me please!!!
Great post Abi – I’ve just added a load of these to my Amazon wishlist!
Great list! I love the idea of the photo backdrops! I’m also definitely adding that blog planning book to my list – I’ve been looking for a good blogging book for a while so thanks for the inspiration! #Thelist x
I can see why you enjoyed putting this list together. Yes please Santa, to all of the above! But maybe not the necklace 🙂 #thelist
Lovely list …. a photography backdrop is on my future ‘to-buy’ list. Thanks for sharing. #TheList
Love the blog planners! I think I know what will be on my wish list this year #thelist
Great list. Lots of different items to chose from.
What a great list! It’s always so fun to get things to help with the blog, to learn about blogging, build your business. I would like to get the reflectors, tripods, a better camera! And a subscription to Photoshop for Printables. I used a free subscription to try it out and I loved it!!! I hope Santa brings you what you desire!! You deserve it.
Ah what a brilliant list!! Love it. I really need to work on my photography so this is a great starting point. Thanks xx
Conveniently shared on Facebook and a sneaky tag of the hubby! Ace list! I wish I was cool enough to wear a twitter handle necklace!! x

I hope Hubby pays attention! x
I’ve just put the light reflectors onto my wish list pinterest board, they are just what I’ve been after. I have an umbrella and light set that I picked up in a charity shop and they are a great help in dark rooms.
What a great list, I’ve already added some of these to my Christmas list (the boys needed ideas) and I can’t wait til Christmas morning now. 🙂
