28 Nov Holiday Gift Guide: 19 Smart Gifts for Digital Marketers (Including Yourself) via @KristiKellogg
The holidays are fast approaching, and now’s as good a time as any to tackle your shopping list.
If you’ve got any digital marketers, SEOs, or tech fiends on your list, you can’t go wrong with smart gadgets, office items, or anything that helps them de-stress and/or perform better at work.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of 19 gifts any digital marketer will love, including apparel, accessories, tech gear, and more!
1. SEO T-Shirt

Any SEO would be thrilled to unwrap one of these SEO-themed shirts!

2. Yeti Mic
We all have that one who’s always talking about starting a podcast or YouTube channel.
Set them off in the right direction with a professional mic.
This Yeti has stellar reviews, is offered at a reasonable price point, and comes in just about every color you can imagine.

3. Blue Light Glasses
We’re staring at screens all day, every day – and that causes us to experience excessive exposure to blue light and artificial light.
That excess exposure (a.k.a. FryEye) makes your eyes tired, blurry, dry and irritated, but there’s a simple solution: blue light blocking glasses.
SHOP NOW: Amazon, $20

It’s something that they’ll get use out of every day.

Good things really do come in small packages, as evidenced by the gift of a PopSocket.
It’s the handy cell phone accessory you never knew you needed.
It adheres easily to the back of your phone and is part phone grip, part phone stand, and wholly useful.
There are hundreds of designs to choose from, and you can even create your own.

9. Google Home Mini
Want to test how you’re faring in Google’s voice search results?
Then you’ll need a smart home speaker.

They’re available in charcoal, red, and aqua.
SHOP NOW: Target, $50
10. Ember Mug
Love coffee but hate when it gets cold?
The Ember Mug eradicates the possibility of a lukewarm cup of Joe by making sure that your drink stays at your desired temperature – even if you poured it an hour ago.
Naturally, you can control the temperature through an app.
SHOP NOW: Ember, $100
11. Smart Thermometer
Here’s another smart gadget that’s perfect for the digital marketer who doubles as a home chef.
This high-tech wireless thermometer allows home chefs to check temperatures and meat readiness via an app that connects to the thermometer.
You can even get alerts when the meat is ready – pretty neat!

The Aura Frame is definitely smart.
Download the Aura app and you can upload more than 10,000 pictures and create endless galleries that will pop up on the LED screen of your stylish frame.
The interactive screen can be controlled with the wave of a hand, and each picture is automatically color-corrected and balanced for the light in the room.

Give the gift of a wireless, tangle-free listening experience.
AirPods are the hottest headphones on the market and allow any busy professional to enjoy music or a podcast (perhaps The Search Engine Journal Show?) on the go.
Users don’t have to worry about their wireless headphones dying – the portable AirPod case charges the earbuds anytime they’re put away.
SHOP NOW: Best Buy, $160
18. Memory Upgrade
Who couldn’t use a faster, more powerful computer?
A memory upgrade gets the job done, at a fraction of the price a new laptop would be.
Crucial’s BX500 solid-state drive will extend a computer’s life and, more importantly, it will improve its running speed.
Installation, which only takes five minutes, is a breeze.
I can’t think of any SEO who wouldn’t love this.
SHOP NOW: Crucial, starts at $23
