A website template comes with everything one may need to create a visually stunning site that's as intentional as the rest of their business - whether they’re a content creator, designer, brand strategist, consultant, or social media manager.

3. Neue Dubsado Template

Dubsado is a very popular software for digital creatives. However, it can be OVERWHELMING when you first get started. Help out your entrepreneur friends/family by getting them a template that has everything they need to build out beautiful Dusado workflows without the hassle!

4. iPad

Although they most likely already have a laptop, an iPad is smaller and easy to use. They can read books, watch shows, browse the web, and so much more without needing their big computer on their lap.

5. iPencil

6. Bluetooth Mouse

Whether they’re creating on their laptop, iPad, or desktop, a wireless mouse that connects through Bluetooth is a must. It makes working so much easier and efficient no matter what their project is.

7. Bluetooth Keyboard

A Bluetooth-connected wireless keyboard is essential whether someone is working on a laptop, an iPad, or a desktop computer. Being able to type with an ergonomically correct form can even help prevent future wrist and pain issues.

8. A Styled Photoshoot

A styled photoshoot is always a fun time! Having photos that resemble a creative’s brand can completely change their business. People will be more willing to work with them when they have professional, cohesive photos on their website and social media.

9. External Hard Drive

As a creative, their laptop will most likely be flooded with files. Having so much on their computer can really slow it down, which can cause internal shut downs (both on the computer and the would of the creative). An external hard drive allows them to have all of their files off of their computer for safe keeping!

10. Stock Photos

Beautiful imagery can really make a designer/ creative’s life easier. Whether it’s for their own personal business or a client they’re working with, having nice quality stock photos will elevate their projects.
