CoSchedule

CoSchedule is hands down my favorite blogging tool. I can’t about it enough. It’s transformed my ability to schedule, plan and market social blog posts and social sharing. CoSchedule also integrates with a number of apps and tracks analytics. They’ve even come out with new functionality to create templates and re-share evergreen content. It’s been a huge time saver for me!

I can’t stress enough the importance of investing in CoSchedule. It is so much more than an editorial calendar.

Straws make excellent food props. They’re inexpensive, a bundle of 100 or more is 11.99, and come in so many colors and fun patterns. Something every food blogger needs!

Tasty Food Photography

When I started photographing with my DSLR last year, I felt like everything I read about photography was written in a foreign language. It took a lot of trial and error before figuring out what worked and what didn’t.

Reading Tasty Food Photography was key in helping me understand the basic concepts and turning them into drool worthy pictures. For $29.99, this budget-friendly eBook has everything and more a blogger needs. It was the best money I’ve ever spent and I still reference it this day. You will be loved forever with this gift!

Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop

For the serious photographer, Adobe Creative Cloud is the best photography editing tool available. Purchased as a monthly or yearly subscription, this amazing value includes both Photoshop + Lightroom. I know first-hand from top notch bloggers that if you’re going to snap and edit, Photoshop is the answer. Gift your blogger money to buy the best photo editing software available.

Mini Spatula & Spoon

These are my favorite blogging tools! This set from Sur La Table includes a mini spatula and spatula spoon. They’re make removing baked goods from pans so much easier. Every time I bake muffins, these make it easy as a breeze to get them out of the pan.

Build Up Your Blog

I love Gina’s book, Build Up Your Blog. It provides everything a blogger needs to know about blogging and it written in a personal way that make you feel as if Gina is sitting right next to you. The book goes over the basics of blogging, from simple things like posting frequency, how to gain followers, to monetizing a blog, approaching brands, social media tips and so much more! For $12, this PDF is one of the most cost effective, high value gifts you can give a blogger.
