Unique Holiday Gifts For Social Media Managers
The most wonderful time of year is almost here and we’re busy getting into the spirit of decorating our home offices and putting together fun client gifts. If you need help shopping for all the important people on your list, you’re not alone; there are gift guides aplenty online. If you need to shop for a social media manager or aficionado, we’ve got the perfect gift guide to help you with your holiday shopping spree.
Gifts for the Office
Office ergonomics: Admittedly, social media managers are often glued to our desks. We love what we do but we sometimes need help remembering to remember to take care of ourselves too. These would be great for any social media manager or someone that works at a computer for hours.
Standing desk
Standing mat
Exercise ball chair
Cool Blue Light Glasses to combat copious amounts of screen time.
Wireless charging pad because our phones need to be charged at all times.
Content planners: We all need tools to do our jobs well and content planners help us stay organized and productive. This is a popular one in our office if you like a classic notebook version. We’re super fans of Sprout Social and use it to plan and schedule content for clients. Any SMM would be thrilled to have a subscription to Sprout! We also love Top Flight Paper notebooks for daily notes.
Creature Comforts for home or office
Local Coffee: Have you ever met a social media manager that didn’t need coffee throughout the day? A gift card to their favorite coffee shop would certainly be welcome. If you don’t know their neighborhood coffee shop, try a fun coffee subscription like this.
A really nice mug: The Ember smart mug is at the top of our list. It’s the world’s first self-heating mug that keeps your coffee at the perfect drinking temperature. Can you think of anything better for your home office? We also love a Yeti mug because it can keep a beverage hot or cold for hours. If the social media manager on your list needs a steady stream of caffeine, think about a vintage-inspired coffee maker or a sleek espresso maker.
A good looking work bag: When you need a change of scenery, you need a beautiful and functional bag to carry all your stuff to your next workspace. This is the most beautiful laptop bag created by a designer in Charleston, South Carolina. It has tons of pockets and a sleek look that can carry you to meetings or the airport. If a backpack is a better fit for the person on your list, we like these too because they have a cushioned laptop sleeve.
Good tunes: You gotta have music, if only for a break during your workday. Whether the social media manager listens to music or podcasts, a Spotify subscription would make a great gift. If they’re more analog, this small record player would be fun tucked in the corner of their office. If they work at home, some noise-canceling headphones might be in order.
