2015 Community Manager Gift Guide

December 9, 2015 By Shannon Abram

By Shannon Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable

Every year we like to share some ideas for the best gifts for the community professionals in your life. After all – what better time to some your resident community expert that you appreciate their hard work than after a long year of creating content, moderating forums, engaging executives and generally kicking community butt?

This year I asked my colleagues at TheCR what they considered to be their most indispensable item during the day! Enjoy our 2015 Community Manager Gift Guide!

Community Manager Gift Guide

  1. Paper Mate Flair Porous-Point Felt Tip Pens – Our favorite tool for color-coding our to-do lists and doodling our community dreams.
  2. Laptop Bag – Your laptop is your link to your community – give it a stylish carrying case!
  3. Earbuds – One team member swears these are the best earbuds out there for both marathon conference calls and rocking out to your favorite tunes.
  4. Hydro Flask – It’s important to stay hydrated when slaying community dragons. No judgement on what you choose to fill this with…
  5. The Best Hoodie Ever – Seriously. One of us (ok, it’s me) has this in five colors. It’s cushy, warm and perfect for keeping the chill off when your co-workers are aggressive with the thermostat. Available for men and women.
  6. Unicorn Tee – We know that every community manager is a magical unicorn – let the world know! Available for men and women.
  7. Mug Warmer – How many times have you feel down a community rabbit hole only to resurface and discover your once-tasty hot beverage is now cold and sad? Never again!

So tell me – what’s on your wish list this year?! Will you be picking up anything from our community manager gift guide?

PS – No endorsements or affiliate links in this community manager gift guide (other than the shirt that we sell ourselves) we just really, really love this stuff.

I love dogs, drinks, and the oxford comma. Writing from the great commonwealth of Massachusetts, I almost definitely need a nap.
