Small Business Gift Guide for Podcasters + Podcast Producers
We are back with our annual gift guide for 2023! This is the second year that we are doing it but we think that the podcasters (and producers!) in your life deserve a little some some too. 😉
This year though we want to take a little different spin and focus on gifts specifically from ”small” and local businesses because we ourselves are a small business and know the important and value of supporting those around us. It can make a big difference in their daily lives!
So, without further ado, let’s get into our small business gift guide.
Gifts for Podcasters
Merchandise Ideas -
Help the podcasters in your life, rock their own merchandise! Some podcasters may sell it already (which you could purchase directly from them to support their sales). But if they don’t, this can be a great way to show some love.

Or go a little more fun with merchandise ideas by gifting custom bags, jewelry, socks, and more.

Marketing Ideas -
Having some subtle ways to market your show can be great for conversation starters and a great way to share the love of your show. So, another great way to show your support is getting some gifts that can help them expand their podcasting reach.

Gifts for Podcast Producers
Gifts for Business -
But don’t forget about the podcast producers (or just any type of podcast service provider for that matter!) they also deserve a little love and support for what they do. Running a business is hard and a lot of work so it can be nice to have people notice it.
One great gift idea is to help show you support their dreams and their business, here are some ideas:
Personal Development -
Another area that many business owners would love to invest in but a lot of times keep telling themselves not to invest in, is their personal development.
Continuing to learn and grow is something that all business owners are doing. You could help support these endeavors with courses, books, or other resources to help them improve their skills and knowledge, not just in podcasting but in business as well.
Here are some fun ideas to get you started:
Other Gift Ideas -

Gifts for Both
Finally, we come to gifts that could go both ways. Sometimes podcast service providers are podcasters or some podcasters do all their own production. So, here are some gift ideas that both parties would love!
Offer to purchase (or give a giftcard) to help pay for some of their subscriptions and memberships. It may not seem like a lot but that can go a long way with keeping a podcaster (or producer) a float!
Think about items for their office or to keep them organized, such as…
Or even just some items that are fun:
Whether you get something from this small business gift guide or not for those who love podcasting in your life, I hope this inspires you to go out and shop small this season, whether within your own community or other small businesses online.
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
