What gifts would make a creative professional happy? Now that’s a loaded question if I ever did see one! Although most of us love what we do, there are many resources that would make what we do more enjoyable and, in some cases, easier.

I realize that trying to come up with a comprehensive list of everything a creative pro/aspiring pro/student could possibly want or need for their studio is an impossible feat. Rather, I took the approach that perfect is the enemy of good and curated this list accordingly.

To start, I initially reached out to a few peers to get their suggestions. We looked around our studios to see what tangible items we’re always reaching for (aside from computers, phones, and AirPods, of course!) in our quest to compile a list of must-haves that would make a creative person light up with joy.

Check out the full list.
