BLOGGING TOOLS
What better gift to give bloggers than tools that can help improve their blog’s performance? Below is a list of different blogging tools and platforms you can use to grow your blog even more.
WPX Hosting
Bloggers can’t run a site without web hosting. And WPX Hosting is one of the cheaper solutions in the market. Get your loved one a yearly subscription so they can get at least one more site off the ground.

Most bloggers integrate social media functionality into their sites to drive more traffic. Social Snap is a WordPress plugin that helps do just that. It allows readers to share posts and enable social logins (log into a site using social media credentials).
WP Rocket
