BY Category Digital, Insights, Inspiration
Yep, it’s almost time for everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday, and if you’re left scrambling for a gift idea for the top Internet Marketer in your life, you’re in luck. Below is a list of 15 things that are sure to make your favorite SEO, PPC, or Social Media Space Ranger swoon.
- Plan a day together, eating, drinking, shopping and spa-ing your way to obtaining your Real Housewife Badge on Foursquare.
- Give your online marketer the gift of a VooDoo doll that comes in two flavors: Link Spammer and Twitter Auto DM’er.
- Tell him or her they are good at Photoshop. Oh, I get weak in the knees just thinking about it…
- Build the love child of Hootsuite and Cotweet – This kid has team member “on duty” and assignments features, the ability to manage multiple social networks and schedule ahead, and never has trouble loading previous tweets. All for free.
- Perfect for the Internet Marketer who practices “night blogging” and texting – Keep those hands warm with the one and only Handerpants.
- Challenge him or her to a game of keyword Tetris – A game that never gets old for SEO and PPC pro’s. Bonus points if you are good enough to use a negative keyword to block his or her next move.
- Have a secret message translated into binary code on this bracelet. For best results, repeat your main keyword three times.
- Reboot your love and decorate your home or office with geek pillows in PC or Mac versions. Actually, you might want to save that for some day when you screw up.
- If you’re looking for something fresh, healthy and fun for an Internet marketer in St. Louis, consider the gift of Fruit My Cube – Order by Feb 4 and get chocolate covered strawberries in your first cube.
- Replace the old teddy bear with a more sophisticated friend who is just as cuddly – My First Bacon
- If you’re handy, build him or her something cool like this wooden pallet desk.
- Tickets to SXSW, complete with the hangover recovery kit.
- Explain Squidoo.
- For the ladies – A Roomba or Scooba because a robot that cleans your floors while you night blog is always cool, and this Porn for Women book. Go on, click it, it’s totally safe for work.
- Subscribe to his or her blog. (Ahem, waiting to see if husband reads this. If not, I will guilt him into #14)
Well, I hope that’s enough ideas to help you get the creative gift-giving juices flowing. What cool gifts and gadgets for Internet marketers did I miss? Looking forward to hearing your suggestions – share in the comments!
