Just 2 words.... Microphone arm. Seriously easiest gift hands down, they're not super expensive. The cheapest i've seen on amazon is like $50, I have a rode mic arm (roughly $119 AUD) but it's honestly changed my life in terms of content. I used to have my mic sitting on a stand that would sit on my desk, however it often got in the way and i kept knocking it. But now I dont have to worry about that because I can move my mic arm around and have greater flexibility.

This may be a simple answer but, as I usually prefer shopping for specific tech myself to make sure I get exactly what I want/need, I always suggest games. Content creators who are gaming focused can never have enough games... even if the backlog is in the hundreds! There'll always be more games and sometimes they can be a little pricey but, with most people often doing Christmas shopping around Black Friday or Cyber Monday, then plenty of tech... as well as games tend to go on sale. As someone who doesn't like playing games as soon as they come out because the amount of creators playing them can be overwhelming, I tend to wait a little while anyway so, having games coming out over the past couple of months going on sale just in time for the holidays is super useful for gaming creators.

Many content creators have a wishlist set up via throne.com, I would pick something from there if the person has one. I've seen everything from expensive tech, games, collector items, music to as simple as room decoration. This way you definitely buy something what they need and won't buy the same thing someone else does.

And if you are a content creator and don't have a wishlist set up yet, this might be the time :)

A decent microphone / headset, and decent lighting / lightring

I recently bought myself a few different Nanoleaf products online. There is an app that connects the lights to your Twitch channel/chat, and it is so cool to add more hype to raids, subs, etc. The problem is the price tag... You can definitely get cheaper RGB lights, but the quality can be shotty with less Twitch chat support.

Paying an artist on Fiverr to create some custom art for their channel can be inexpensive, and a great way to fill out those sub-emotes for people who have < 5.

So for me having 7 children, I often have to make sure my setup is done on a budget, last week my third monitor broke and I certainly did not have the cash to buy a new one, a friend of mine, heard through another friend what happened and donated me a spare monitor.

Streaming/content creation is an expensive habit and the need to constantly upgrade can push our wallets to the absolute maximum. Often, however, there are workarounds for such things so, it can be done.

I think a great gift for any streamer/YouTuber is always going to be the Microphone, I was using a £20 microphone for a long time and when I had saved enough, I got myself a new studio Microphone and my community noticed it immediately.

Especially if you're starting out, there's always a better mic you can get, and audio makes a huge difference. For anyone more advance, who have their own space for content creation, so more props or something to hang on the wall to use in b-roll or in the background if you're a streamer would also be nice.

This was actually a gift from my best mate to me, I was super shocked, over the moon and blown away! So gifting your creator friend a neon sign personalised with their channel or page name is such a wonderful surprise! Speaking personally this also helped motivate me and make my studio space feel even more special and the sign looks great when featured in any pictures or videos! It also makes you feel good as being a creator can be challenging as it’s a different career path from the norm so having someone you’re close to gifting you something like this is special as it feels like they believe in you and your journey ✌️
