Five Star Gift Ideas

For your dad who loves to start a blog, I have a few gift ideas that could make his blogging experience even more enjoyable and productive.

1. Blogging Course or eBook: Consider gifting your dad a comprehensive blogging course or an eBook that could enhance his knowledge and skills in the blogging world. It could cover topics like content creation, website design, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and social media promotion. This gift would greatly benefit him by providing valuable tips and strategies to improve his blog.

2. Blogging Planner: Help your dad stay organized and focused on his blogging goals with a dedicated blogging planner. This planner can have sections for brainstorming, content planning, goal setting, and tracking progress. It will assist him in managing his time effectively and keeping all his blog-related tasks in one place.

3. Blogging Software or Tools: There are numerous blogging tools and software available that can simplify various aspects of running a blog. Depending on your dad's specific needs, you could consider gifting him a tool for keyword research, content editing, or managing social media accounts. Popular options include Grammarly (for proofreading), SEMrush (for SEO), and Canva (for graphic design).

4. Technical Equipment: If your dad is using outdated or inadequate equipment for his blogging endeavors, consider upgrading his devices. A new laptop, camera, or microphone could greatly enhance the quality of his blog content. Additionally, if he often travels or blogs on the go, a portable charger or a reliable Wi-Fi hotspot would be thoughtful and practical gifts.

5. Blogging Community Memberships: Consider gifting your dad a subscription to a blogging community or membership site. These platforms offer valuable resources, networking opportunities, and support from experienced bloggers. By joining such a community, your dad can connect with like-minded individuals, gain inspiration, and receive feedback on his blog.

6. Personalized Stationery: To add a personal touch, you can gift your dad personalized stationery items like custom-made notebooks, pens, or notepads. These can be used by him to jot down ideas, plan blog posts, or write drafts. It's a simple yet thoughtful gift that can make his blogging process more enjoyable.

7. Inspirational Books: Look for books written by successful bloggers or those that provide inspiration and motivation. Such books can offer valuable insights, tips, and tricks, and become a source of encouragement for your dad's blogging journey. Some recommended titles include "Problogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income" by Darren Rowse or "Content Rules: How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business" by Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects your dad's passion and interests. By considering his love for blogging, any of these thoughtful and personalized gifts will surely bring a smile to his face and inspire him to continue his blogging endeavors with enthusiasm.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

Bridget Shields says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I wanted a keepsake to give to my father for his birthday as he has terminal cancer. He was delighted by his gift. The process of ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. A great gift idea.”
