On?Six Minutes, we have a holiday tradition too: a?holiday list of gift ideas for speakers, whether that recipient is you, or someone special in your life.?In this article, we list speaker gift ideas ranging?from tiny stocking stuffers to more tantalizing items. Whether you are a professional speaker or whether speaking is a new hobby, there?s something for everyone.

?

This year?s list is organized by price, so you can find the best fit for your personal budget. You?ll find a wide range of practical and indulgent gift ideas:

  • index cards to cue your memory;
  • whiteboard and flip chart supplies;
  • a mini-tripod for your rehearsal video camera;
  • USB drives and laptop bags for presenting on the go;
  • presentation remotes;
  • speech anthologies and speeches on DVD;
  • and much, much more.

Please?share your gift ideas?in the comments!

Free

Some say that ?nothing in life is free.? Others argue that ?the best things in life are free.? I like the latter opinion.

$5 or less

These may be inexpensive items, but they can really save the day if you have them in your ?speaker?s emergency kit?.

Under $10

As with the ?$5 or less? group, these items are inexpensive. If all goes as expected, you won?t need most of these? but experienced speakers know that it rarely goes as expected.

Under $20

For less than twenty bucks, you can pick up a copy of most public speaking books, and a few other items to take on your travels.

Under $50

These aren?t for casual speakers, but will pay for themselves many times over if you are a regular speaker.

Under $100

Higher price points brings electronics? and a drooling Six Minutes editor.
