I’m a blogger and I’d love… | 50+ Bloggers’ Christmas wish list 2017

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

I have a few bits and bobs I’d love for blogging, some are really basic, nice things for Instagram, I do love a pretty picture, and some really are ‘wishes’ that I’d love to earn enough from the blog to them be able to purchase with profit. I’m a blogger and I’d love…

1. Blogging mug

2. Pretty flowers – there must be a subscription service or something so that I can always have a gorgeous bunch of flowers to post on my Instagram?

3. A good SLR camera and the time to play with it… hmmm maybe that’s a long term wish – I definitely don’t have the time to figure it out at the moment. My iPhone is good for now, given the practicalities of carrying (remembering) a camera while chasing two little ones! 

4. A few hours to blog a week – just a few hours to myself and a few to blog, to take it to the next level.

5. A MAMA sweatshirt – this is a blogger staple isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve seen a single blogger who doesn’t own a Selfish Mother sweatshirt

Now, I also asked some fellow bloggers what was on their wish lists… and had a rather enthusiastic reply… so here are 50+ bloggers wish lists…

Inspiration
– a travel journal – We are going travelling in the new year so we would love a travel journal that I can write in as we go around. We would also love the new GoPro, but it is a bit pricey, so we have asked for money towards it when people have asked. We have asked for new backpacks for the boys and money towards experiences while on our travels – https://ourfairytaleadventure.com
– a family ticket around the world ! What endless inspiration and adventure we would have! Oh, and a new PC, mine is dead as a dodo! – www.familytravelwithellie.com

A bit of book inspiration from a pro
– the book ‘Blogging your way to riches’ – www.emmaand3.com

and another book-y one
… to turn my blog posts into a book. I would love a coffee table style book that contains selected posts and photographs. I think it would be lovely to feel the pages flicking between my finger tips and to share with friends and family that are not online, making all I have done with my blog over the last 7 years more tangible for everyone. What a lovely gift for any blogger to find under the tree this Christmas – www.edspire.co.uk
– a year’s subscription to the Mamapreneur Inner Circle – http://www.raisingaragamuffin.com

Pretty things… and blogger branding!
