Since I’ve been in this field for almost 6 years and I know a ton of vloggers/YouTubers, therefore, I’ll only share those ideas that are hardcore for a content creator.
This list gets every range of gifts, from “I’m a broke guy and wants to give my friend something cool” to “I have enough budget and want to give something special.”
Plus, I’ve also addressed your most hot questions at the end of the article!
When it comes to a good camera for a vlogger, there could be no better option than Sony ZV-1. Firstly, the camera got stunning and accurate autofocus to keep everything in the frame. Secondly, there is a 20 MP sensor that can record videos up to 4K.
In addition to this, the mic got a perfect windshield to filter any background noises. And the interesting part of the camera is that it has an auto-intelligent option that lets you take shots in any environment. In my experience, the Sony ZV-1 is the perfect camera gift for a vlogger.
A vlogger often loves to stroll around to create content, and he often needs a stand to make his work easy. Joby Gorillapod 3K kit can be a well-sought gift in this regard.
This kit comes with a flexible tripod stand, having 3 wrappable legs that can also be used as a selfie stand. This stand also provides support to the camera and helps in stabilizing the video.
Plus, the GorillaPod tripod is durable and can bear a weight of up to 3 kg, meaning that a person can attach almost any camera to it. This tripod stand can be a good option for video-making in any environment. You can also read my post about gimbal vs tripod for better understanding.
A drone gift is perfect if your vlogger friend is fond of aerial shots or loves creating the content from a bird’s eye view. In fact, drone photography is a hard-to-neglect option for vloggers as they have to travel a lot.
DJI released an Air 2S drone to serve the vloggers keen on capturing shots from a height. With its 20 MP 1-inch sensor, it delivers incredible 5.4K footage. The drone’s battery supports 30 minutes of flying time, and it has features like Ai photo mode.
Being lightweight and compact, This classic drone foldable can fit in any backpack. Because of all these features, I would love to have DJI Air 2S on my vlogging gift list.
Every vlogger wants to have a power source that can support him at the most needed time, and the INUI power bank is one of them. I have used it for almost 3 months, and I can definitely vouch for its quality.
It can fully charge your phone’s battery up to 4 times, depending on the model. Besides, this power bank supports 22.5W fast charging speed.
The INIU power bank can also be used as a power source for laptops and cameras. You may want to give this item to your vlogger friend, especially if he’s visiting the Amazon forest!
One of the best gifts for a vlogger who travels around and shoots a lot of videos, DJI OM 5 smartphone gimbal has a motorized system to eliminate shakes and jerks from the video. It is a lightweight, portable stabilizer that a vlogger can easily carry in an average backpack.
Since I’ve used this gimbal, I think OM 5 is a worthy gift for a vlogger.
If you are looking for an extra gift for a vlogger, why not pick SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB card. This card will be an exquisite gift for vlogging as it can transfer files up to 170 MB per second. Besides, it is pretty durable and can bear a harsh environment. Overall, the card provides extra handy storage space for vlogging.
The Canon EOS series has been pretty popular among YouTubers. With the launch of 90D, the company solidified the trust of the camera community.
Canon EOS 90D specifically aims at the video niche as it produces really good 4K ultra HD footage with excellent color tone. Its 32.5 MP sensor captures footage full of details.
As most YouTubers like to record their videos in RAW format, this camera has two RAW modes that enable compression without losing any quality.
Also, this camera gets good water sealing and weather protection. Thinking of all the features, I suggest Canon EOS 90D as a gift to your YouTuber friend.
A laptop is a good gift for a YouTuber as it allows him to edit his videos. When you talk about a well-functioning laptop, this is where Apple MacBook Pro comes in. Although this product outprices the competition, it also outperforms them.
The latest Macbook comes with Apple’s most powerful chipset, M1 ultra, which gives you a lag-free editing experience and has a decent 16 hours of battery backup. Frosting on the cake is that 16 Gbs of RAM accelerates the performance, allowing a person to edit heavy videos without any worry.
Apple MacBook Pro is a pretty decent gift, but it’s quite expensive. If you’re a little short on budget, you may think of Dell XPS 15. It is a cheap yet powerful alternative to MacBook Pro.
Elgato Stream Deck should be on your list if you are looking for a gift for a YouTuber who likes to stream his videos. With more than 15 keys, it gives a person full control over the stream.
One can change scenes and background, play music or video, and much more. Also, the keys are programmable, meaning one can set them specifically for a particular purpose.
The best part is that the deck is compatible with almost every streaming software, thus allowing you to play your stream professionally.
I’m one hundred percent sure that this gift can bring a smile to the face of your Youtuber friend if he is in the podcast/voiceover niche. The Blue Yeti is a classic youtube microphone that not only delivers excellent quality sound but also tweaks the background noise.
The mic is pretty easy to use and comes with 4 buttons, 2 at the front and 2 at the back. These buttons allow you to control the volume and audio quality. Plus, a person can cycle between 4 audio modes, including omnidirectional, bidirectional, cardioid, and stereo.
Having said this, the Blue yeti microphone is an absolute gift to take the audio quality to the next level.
A green screen can totally change the outlook of a video and might be a good gift for a YouTuber. Elgato’s green screen fits best in this category with its wrinkle-resistant fiber.
The company makes this screen with content creators in mind as it is easy to set up with a pull-up canvas. The interesting part is that it is narrower in size and doesn’t take too much of your space. Just release the frame, and you’re good to go.
The cloth is made of thick material and is durable. Also, the screen’s dimensions are perfect for people who like to stay in one place.
Good lighting makes a video professional. A YouTuber will always appreciate the gift of a Ubeesize softbox lighting kit. The reflectors are made of nylon cloth that maximizes the light-softening effect.
The kit also has two 40W light bulbs that save your electricity up to 80 percent. Apart from that, there are two aluminum tripod stands in the package, including a screw to support the camera or mobile phone.
Since most YouTubers work on RAW footage that requires a lot of storage, an SSD hard drive, especially the Samsung T5 hard drive, would be a pleasant gift.
This hard drive from Samsung offers 2TB of digital storage capacity that can be read or written at 540 megabytes per second. Plus, the size of the disk is equal to the palm, making it easy to carry.
Having a hard drive with such a transfer speed rate allows a YouTuber to edit the videos straight from the hard disk.
Headphones are popular gifts for a Youtuber whose work involves a lot of audio editing. Starting from just $279, Bose QuietComfort 35 II Bluetooth headphones deliver excellent quality for money.
The most highlighted feature of these headphones is their world-class noise cancellation technology. In addition to this, Bose headphones are super-comfortable to wear and connect wirelessly (Bluetooth) to your device. It is a quality gift for a person to speed up the audio editing process.
A ring light is pretty popular among YouTubers and vloggers. Neewer ring light kit is a budget-friendly option for kid YouTubers. It comes with all the necessities that an aspiring YouTuber can expect.
It includes an 18 inches ring light that can be adapted to any scenario. There are two white and orange filters to control the light. Plus, an adapter is present to mount the camera or smartphone. Neewer kit is a game-changer gift for kids who are new in the YouTube field.
As the name indicates, the PoP microphone is a pretty cost-effective, comfortable mic for kids and aspiring YouTubers. This mic comes in a small pouch and is quite handy to carry. Plus, the sound quality is phenomenal. An additional advantage of the PoP microphone is that it can be connected to any smartphone, making it easier for kids to perform their work.

Your kid has the camera, but you are the one who holds the camera; maybe gifting a tripod stand to your child can be a good option.
Big bendy tripod stands are perfect for small kids to shoot their videos as these are small, compact, handy, and give an aesthetic looking, thanks to their monochromatic colors.
Plus, these stands are quite sturdy and can handle the wear and tear of the environment. I recommend gifting a Big Bend tripod stand if your kid makes videos on the camera rather than a smartphone.
