10 Gifts to get a Creative
It’s that festive time of the year again where we buy gifts for our loved ones. But if you’re like me, you draw a complete blank when trying to figure out what to get. This time around, I’ve decided to be proactive and do a little research for all of us. Here are my top 10 gift ideas for the creative person in your life.
1. Camera
I might be a teeny bit basis, but you can’t go wrong with a good camera. Trust. Your friend or family member will fall in love with being able to capture the beauty they see in the world. They might even get some good snaps of you. My favorite cameras are the Canon t8i, Canon eos r and Sony a7iii.
2. iPhone
Between TikTok and Instagram, there’s no limit to how creative they can get with an iPhone. And who wouldn’t want the fresh tech everyone’s waiting in line for? You’d definitely get best-gift-giver points for this one.
3. Tripod
Tripods make hands-free filming so easy. Your little creative will be able to fully express themself without limitations. My favorite tripods and iPhone attachments options are the SIRUI Waterproof tripod and I add this phone attachment to it.
4. Lighting
Good lighting is essential to all types of creative projects. And it can sometimes make the difference between a stunning piece of work and a complete mess. Here are some of my go-to’s:
5. DJI mobile 3
This is perfect for the young creative who’s interested in filmmaking or blogging. Buy this and watch them become the next Spike Lee, Ava DuVernay, or Jordan Peele.
6. Remote
Sometimes creativity requires a lot of movement. And that’s when a remote or trigger will come in handy. The self-timer will make life oh, so easy.
7. Mic
Recording voice-overs? They’ll need a mic. Starting a YouTube channel? They’ll need a mic. Want to sound great on video? They’ll...well you get the point.
8. Notebook and pen
When the creative juices start flowing, they’ll need something to write their ideas down. Whether they’re into doodling or note-taking, this combo will help them flesh out their ideas.
9. App Store gift card
There are a bazillion different apps out there for creating. And guess what? They ain’t free. Buy them an App Store gift card so they can download the apps of their dreams.
10. Socks
Everyone needs more socks. Am I right? Of course, I am. Try to get the ones with fun designs and colors.
