10. A fidget toy
As mentioned previously, marketers usually sit around for most of the day - and when we're doing routine admin, we get a little restless. Stress balls are great but fidget toys are the creme de la creme. They'll keep you occupied when you're not letting the creative juices flow.
11. Aura frame
What digital marketer doesn't love a smart gadget? 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. One can control the interactive screen with the wave of a hand, and each picture is automatically color-corrected and balanced for the light in the room.

13. Spa finder gift card

14. Travel mouse
Traveling for work no longer requires you to pack everything in your office. This sleek travel mouse fits comfortably in your carry-on and wirelessly links to your laptop, eliminating unnecessary cables at the bottom of your bag.
15. AirPods
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.
16. A cushion for their office chair
Marketers get out a lot - sure - we go to client meetings, events, training sessions, and so on - but more often than not, we're sitting at our desks - particularly this year in light of Corona beating down our necks. And we're usually at our desks for hours at a time - unless we're at the coffee machine. As we all know, having a good bit of back support is important when you're working a desk job—something to keep you upright rather than lurching forward.
We've found that many marketers really like chair/neck cushions - the real ergonomic kind. They help with posture, comfort and circulation, making sitting in a chair an enjoyable experience - not a painful one. I'll never forget what someone once told me: if you feel the same getting out of a chair as you did when you got in it, that's the sign of a good chair.
17. An inspirational coffee/tea mug
This is a perfect one for the caffeine-addicted marketers in your office! Get them a mug with an inspirational quote (or even their favorite quote) and their initials printed on it. We've got a lot of coffee and tea fanatics in the office, so of course, our cupboard is filled with them. There's just something reassuring about being able to drink from your own mug and get a little motivation (or humor) simultaneously.
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 persona who wouldn't love this.
19. VARIDESK Pro
With the VARIDESK, you can turn any desk into a standing desk. All you have to do is place the double-level stand on top of your existing workspace – no attachments or assembly necessary.
20. A Grammarly subscription
Content is king - but there's hardly any point of creating the highest quality content if it is full of grammatical errors! With Grammarly, you don't have to worry about such errors anymore. It is the world's foremost language-writing enhancement tool and is designed to help with proofreading, spell check, and grammar check. Just put your content into Grammarly and fix your article in minutes! As marketers, we create a lot of content - and sometimes we make mistakes that can go unnoticed!
21. Everybody Writes: Your Go-to Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content
This guide by marketing veteran Ann Hadley will help you improve your writing and succeed in our content-driven world. "Everybody Writes" highlights the simple truth that content is currency, and everyone writes - whether they are a marketer, salesperson, or website developer. We all rely on our words to carry our marketing message and engage with prospects - and, with that considered, we all need to be great at writing! It's a great gift for any marketer - or anyone in the business - looking to educate themselves on creating high-quality and compelling content.
22. HeadSpace App
While there are more stressful jobs, marketers can have it challenging. More often than not, people ask me, "what is it that you do in marketing?" and often, my response is: "Everything." Marketers typically wear a lot of hats and juggle a lot of balls - meaning we dip in and out of everything in the digital marketing spectrum, from content marketing, website design, and automation to search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click, and social media activity. There is a lot to do - all of these activities must be monitored and managed. Marketing overload is a common occurrence!
So, as marketers, it's essential to step back, relax and take everything in - and you can do that with Headspace. Headspace is a digital service that provides guided meditation sessions and mindfulness training. It's free to sign up, but you will have to subscribe for more bespoke content.
23. 1Password app
If you're anything like us, you use many different tools and have separate usernames and passwords for each tool. This sounds good from a security perspective, but it becomes challenging to remember usernames and passwords - especially if you start to use more applications. Conversely, you can't just use the same username and password - that's just asking for a security breach. This is where 1Password comes in handy. It's a password manager, digital vault, form filler, and secure digital wallet (though you'll only really need the first feature).
Using 1Password, you can automatically generate passwords for your applications, and 1Password will remember them for you, allowing you to log in to sites with a single click. The master password protects the data on your devices (only you know it), so you don't have to worry.
