But it\u2019s also a time for friends, family, and showing them just how much they mean to you\u2014and we definitely think that\u2019s a reason to celebrate!<\/p>\n<p>This holiday season, if you happen to have any professional event planner friends, or maybe have even hired one yourself, you now have the perfect chance to spoil her rotten! Because let\u2019s be real: as an event planner, it\u2019s her job to be the one who usually does all of the spoiling. When you spend each day making everyone <em>else\u2019s <\/em>dreams come true, it can be easy to forget about your own.<\/p>\n<p>But we get it: the holiday season is hectic, and you\u2019re probably busy. Don\u2019t worry, we can save you some time! Below you\u2019ll find our compiled, handy list of the top 10 presents any event planner would absolutely <em>love<\/em>!<\/p>\n<h3>1. A travel mug<\/h3>\n<p>Event planners are always on the go! With such busy schedules, it can become difficult to keep energy levels up. If your planner needs her daily dose of caffeine to get through the day, this is a perfect (and cost-effective) way to let her know you care.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-12.jpg\" alt=\"event planner on the phone and handling travel mug\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-12.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-12-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Etsy offers wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/market\/travel_mugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">travel mugs<\/a> that can even be customized!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Electronics organizer<\/h3>\n<p>Your event planner is probably used to having to run all around town every day. But we imagine it can be a bit of a hassle when she <em>also <\/em>has to lug around her phone, laptop, charger, and extra cord needed to do the job. Electronic organizers run pretty cheap (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Electronic-Organizers\/zgbs\/electronics\/290458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">below $20.00<\/a> on Amazon.com) and are a lifesaver when it comes to keeping everything together in one organized place.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Fitness tracker<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a bit of a larger budget that you\u2019re willing to spend, fitness trackers are very popular among event planners. From smart watches, Fitbits, and even just simple calorie counters, you can\u2019t go wrong with this type of gift. After all, since event planners are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/didnt-tell-becoming-an-event-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">always on their feet<\/a>, being able to track such health-related stats like heart-rate and daily steps is an added bonus anyone would love!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Candles<\/h3>\n<p>The possibilities here are endless! We know it can be easy to walk into a dollar store and mindlessly grab the first candle you see, but with so much room to make this fun for your event planner, it\u2019s worth the effort. Luxury candles and aromatherapy candles are our personal recommendations. Maybe even those <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.charmedaroma.com\/collections\/all-candles?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4_-j1eqX5gIVy8DICh2QlAJCEAAYAiAAEgL-jPD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fancy candles with the hidden jewelry<\/a> inside. Our point is: when picking a candle, imagine that you\u2019re sending her to the spa to unwind and relax. A good quality candle can transport her right there!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-14.jpg\" alt=\"Pink candles with pink flowers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-14.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-14-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>5. Blue light blocking glasses<\/h3>\n<p>With so much work to be done, your event planner probably works until all hours of the night. Staring at a harsh, bright screen for so long can be damaging to her vision\u2014and we don\u2019t want that! Available for both prescription and non-prescription glasses, what better way to say \u201cI care about you\u201d than protecting her eyeballs?<\/p>\n<h3>6. Subscription-based gifts<\/h3>\n<p>This is one of our favorites, because it\u2019s an efficient and effortless way to give your planner something that will <em>truly <\/em>benefit her. The best part about it is that the majority of the subscriptions can be purchased directly online. Talk about convenient!<\/p>\n<p>If you want to gift her with something to help her relax during down time, we recommend any of the following subscriptions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some sort of book or audiobook subscription<\/li>\n<li>Spotify or Apple Music subscription<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabfitfun.com\/get-the-box\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=sem_brand&amp;utm_campaign=prospect&amp;coupon_code=FFFGIFT&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzpafw-yX5gIVwuDICh0aHA-iEAAYASAAEgLnxPD_BwE#plan=fffvip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FabFitFun<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Netflix, Disney+, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to try and make her work load a little less stressful by giving her equipment needed for her event planning business, you can also gift her an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/blog\/event-planning-tools-efficient-ds00\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online productivity tool<\/a> you know she often uses!<\/p>\n<h3>7. Yearly\/monthly\/daily planner<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-11.jpg\" alt=\"female event planner happily writing in planner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-11.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-11-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Basically any type of planner will be a staple gift for your event planner to use on the daily. Organization is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/whats-missing-from-an-event-planner-job-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a key part of her job<\/a>, and planners allow her to break down all of her tasks, schedules, and deadlines in a clear and easy way. Planners come in all sorts of styles, colors, and sizes\u2014and they don\u2019t need to cost much to be beautiful either! They can be found in all sorts of stores, such as dollar stores, book stores, your local Walmart, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Noise-cancelling headphones<\/h3>\n<p>As we mentioned above, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/getting-busy-season-event-planning-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">organization is a must<\/a> for event planners. It can be hard for your event planner to stay focused sometimes if there\u2019s too much noise and distraction going on around her! Noise-cancelling headphone are a true miracle for anyone who needs to just <em>get some peace and quiet<\/em>. A good quality pair won\u2019t be cheap and can be found at any electronics store, but there still are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Noise-Cancelling-Headphones-Accessories-Supplies\/b?ie=UTF8&amp;node=509318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cost-effective options<\/a> available for purchase online that will have the same type of effect.<\/p>\n<h3>9. A weighted blanket<\/h3>\n<p>This would be an excellent gift to pair with a nice, scented candle! But even on its own, weighted blankets (also known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/gravityblankets.com\/products\/gravity-blanket?variant=44868533007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gravity blankets<\/a>\u201d) work wonders to relieve stress and ease anxiety\u2014two things that your event planner probably experiences a lot! The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2019\/07\/things-an-event-planner-jobs-is-not\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">responsibilities and high expectations<\/a> from her clients that fall on her shoulders are not easy, but she always handles it like a champ. At the end of a long day, she deserves to put her feet up and let all that tension melt away. A weighted blanket will do that and more!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-15.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-15.jpg\" alt=\"happy woman reading under a big blanket\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-15.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-15-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>10.
