For those celebrating, it's Christmas time! And if there's a blogger on your Christmas list, here are 11 social media-related gift ideas in case you're still wondering what to get them. Trust me, any blogger would be happy to receive any one of these great presents (hint, hint, hint).
What's wonderful about the list too is that many of the gift ideas for bloggers extend beyond Christmas to provide joy and happiness throughout the coming year for your favorite writers! And most of the ideas don't cost anything either!
I know...yesterday's post said it was time to work on a book proposal for the rest of the holiday. But I woke up with this blog idea, and it was a lot easier to write than a book proposal or the guest post I'm struggling with for the TalentCulture blog.
And to make it even easier, there are links to many of the ideas in case Santa is wondering where to go or how to do them.
Hope this Christmas list helps you show your favorite bloggers how much you appreciate them all during 2011!
Merry Christmas!
