Gifts for Realtors®: Your 2025 Guide from Minnesota Realtors®

a collage of gift items meant to spark inspiration for what to get a Realtor for the holidays

Realtors® spend all year making our communities brighter by spreading joy and bringing the dream of homeownership to reality. The holiday season is the perfect time to say thank you by getting them the perfect gift. But, what do you gift a Realtor®? Finding the perfect gift for the Realtor® in your life doesn't have to be stressful.

Minnesota Realtors® has done the research and compiled our top gift ideas for Realtors®. Whether the Realtor® you know is tech-savvy, new to the game, or is always on the way to their next close, there's a gift for everyone!

Gifts for the Realtors® who are tech-savvy

We all know one; that Realtor® who just always seems to know what's going on in the tech world and who's always waiting for the next tool they can utilize to help grow their business. See below for our top gift ideas for the Realtors® who can't say no to a good piece of tech.

	Premium Spotify Subscription A subscription to Spotify is a great gift for any Realtor®. Think of all the amazing music they'll be able to play at their next open house. Or maybe all the education podcasts they can enjoy to help them learn the next new marketing technique. There are so many uses for it and they'll will definitely be using this gift year-round.

	Laptop Privacy Screen Privacy and professionalism are key to any real estate business. That's why a little goes a long way when it comes to getting the Realtor® in your life a Laptop Privacy Screen. This takes the guessing out of ensuring client data safety. All Realtors® end up in a similar situation once (or more!) in their career: a last minute contract, offer, or other that simply can't wait. With a Laptop Privacy Screen, they can feel secure knowing that no matter where they are, their clients and work are protected by this simple yet effective gift.

	Computer Ring Light On the flip side of privacy, you want to make sure that you can actually be seen in a meeting. Gifting a computer ring light for the Realtor® in your life is a great option. Many come in small sizes that can be taken with them wherever they go. So, for those quick meetings or Continuing Education courses, this ring light helps them look like they just walked out of a magazine.

	Laser Measure It's the Realtor® gift that no one will buy for themselves but it fits so well in a stocking: the laser measure. This tool is not only fun to use, but oh so practical. Realtors® can carry this gift around with them anywhere and everywhere. The next time a client asks them about the size of a room, they can whip out this gadget and immediately share accurate information. Let's put it this way: as a Realtor®, you never don't need a quality measuring tool in your arsenal.

	Insta360 This gift is not just for the Realtors®, but for the marketing aficionados who take content into their own hands. While this might be the most expensive gift recommendation on this list, it sure packs a punch. The Insta360 is a videography standard when it comes to shooting content. So, if your favorite Realtor® is making their own house tour videos or getting ready to take the jump into social media, this gift is sure to please.

Gifts for Realtors® who are always on the go

The car: a Realtor's® most essential and well-used tool. They spend hours upon hours in a car, heading to their next open house, their next contract signing, their next CE class, or brokerage meeting. This list of gifts is perfect for those who want to make their car feel safer or a little more like what it really is: their home away from home.

	National Association of REALTORS® Auto Safety Tool It's never a bad idea to give the ultimate gift to a Realtor®: safety and peace of mind. While this is the one gift we hope no one will ever actually use, it has the ability to save a life or, at least, get them out of a tough spot. This tool, branded for your favorite REALTOR® (because duh!), comes with a window punch as well as a seatbelt cutter and can be linked to be on your keys as well as hang from a rearview mirror.

	Remote Car Starter Winter is the perfect time to add a little warmth to the Minnesota Realtor's® home away from home. They spend a lot of their time in the car and this gift can decrease the amount of that time they spend rubbing their hands together waiting for their car to get warm. This Realtor® gift is sure to put a grateful smile on their face because now, they can head out to their next open house knowing that they have a warm car waiting for them.

	Ice Melt We all hope that, at an open house or a showing, the driveway will be free of ice. But we, unfortunately, can't always count on it. While this is arguably not the flashiest gift, it's definitely one of the most helpful in a pinch. Because every Realtor® has been there! It's winter, you've arrived at your showing a tad behind schedule because of snow traffic, and what do you see? A driveway or front walkway that is covered in ice and definitely not safety-guaranteed for potential visitors. With this Realtor® gift, they can keep it in their car all winter and pull it out whenever the need arises.

	Power Bank This one is an obvious and yet super helpful gift for the Realtor® in your life. For anyone who spends a lot of time on the go, hitting up showings, taking calls, and conducting business away from an outlet, this gift ensures that they will always be able to connect with their clients. This simple power bank means that, even if their phone battery dies, they can connect to the power bank anywhere they are, and get enough juice to get them through the rest of their day.

Gifts for the new Realtor®

First things first: we're so excited for this new addition to the Realtor® family. It's been a whirlwind for them to get to this point and it's a huge accomplishment. But now, I am sure that they are in need of a lot of help. Even some of the smallest things can be a huge lifesaver once their business is up and running. Below, you will find some of the most thoughtful, useful, and fun items to gift to the new Realtor® in your life.

	Padfolio Simple, yet effective. The padfolio is a great all-in-one gift for a new Realtor®. It holds business cards, writing utensils, important documents, and more! Some, like the one pictured, even come with a mini calculator in them so your Realtor® friend never has to guess when it comes to the numbers.

	Mini Headshot Session If there's one present that stands out against all the other, it's a new headshot. As a new Realtor®, there are a lot of things on their to-do list and getting that professional headshot for websites, business cards, and social media is at the top of the list. Giving the gift of a mini headshot session gives Realtors® the gift of a good first impression and helps them standout online when potential clients are looking for who they want to represent them when buying or selling property. You can find mini headshot sessions in your area for a wide range of prices. Booking Tip: Pay attention to how many photos and poses the photographer offers for a session, and reveiw their portfolio!

	Realtor® Socks This one is a fun little stocking stuffer! Nothing says "Congratulations on becoming a Realtor®" quite like a fun pair of socks. A quick online search will have you scrolling through fun, customizable options from all over. Pick one that really stands out and connects with your friends. And an added bonus is that it is sure to keep them comfy and cozy when they are working during the winter months.

	Personalized Return Address Stamp Writing out their return address on hundreds of documents, postards, or flyers can be a huge time commitment. Especially for a new Realtor® who is already trying to balance this new field and get their foot in the door. Gifting a personalized return address stamp is a great way to show them you care about not only their business, but about their time. This gift will never go unused in their office—that's for sure!

	National Association of REALTORS® Phone and Key Sanitizer Gifting a Realtor® a portable phone and key sanitizer is a great outside-the-box idea. As Realtors®, we are constantly touching and using various small items in a home. Think: keys, phones, pens, and more. This can be taken to every open house and be kept on their desk at work for when they need a quick clean up. This tiny but mighty Realtor® gift is sure to bring a smile to their face! Quick tip: Check to make sure that the size of the sanitizer fits the size of their phone.

Gifts for the Realtor® who has it all

Some Realtors® just seem to have it all together. They always present as organized, quick, and their brain just works in a way that makes them seem eons ahead of their work. They keep us motivated and challenge us to do our own very best. Thinking of a gift for these Realtors® can be a little tough but we gathered a few fun and quirky ways to thank them for all they do.

	Travel Water Bottle If there is one thing you can never have too many of, it's travel water bottles. Keep your Realtor® friend hydrated and ready to take on whatever the new year throws at them with a water bottle. You can find options online, or everywhere in stores, and you can't go wrong. Take it from us: we've never met a Realtor® who doesn't appreciate a good water bottle.

	FREE Continuing Education Class Did you know that Minnesota Realtors® offers several FREE Continuing Education (CE) courses for our members? All they have to do is visit our website to sign up. Now, you can't necessarily wrap this gift but you can send it to them with a note that let's them know they have free CE opportunities waiting for them. Looking for a gift for a Realtor® not in Minnesota? We recommend searching on your state associations website to find out if they offer any free CE courses. Try searching "[insert state here] state Realtor® Association" on a search engine to get you started!

	Specialized Business Card Holder Nothing says office whimsy and Realtor® fun like a specially-themed business card holder. This personalized Realtor® gift will add a touch of whimsy to any office they are in! There are so many variations on the market to choose from so find one that really speaks to your friend or family member. And make sure to remind them to display it loud and proud!

	Special Candle How can you show that you think someone is the best Realtor® out there? With a simple candle, of course! Simple, yet adorable, this candle will brighten up their day every time they light it. Plus, it will remind them (even on tough days!) that they have someone out there who knows that they are the very best.

Finding a gift for your favorite Realtor® can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be! Follow our guide to find the perfect way to say "You're the best Realtor® I know."
