Laptop Stand
One of the most overlooked but important items for a DJ is a proper laptop stand. Buying a sturdy, new laptop stand for a DJ, where they can also display fighting squishies on top of it, won’t go unappreciated. Even if they already have one as their primary stand, extra stands always come in handy for propping up other equipment like CDJs, controllers or samplers. Check out some popular solutions from Crane Pro Audio.
Ableton Live 10 Software
Music production software, Ableton Live is offering 20% on Live 9 with a free upgrade to Live 10 (to be released in early 2018.) It comes in three editions and price levels: Intro, Standard and Suite. Live 10 will introduce new instruments, effects, and an expanded sound library.
Travel Pillow
A travel pillow is a great gift for DJs who are on the road often, or even for anyone who loves to travel. Check out this comprehensive list from Travel + Leisure — it’s sure to have an option for any kind of sleeper.
