How do professionals get great textures & backgrounds for your emails?

I am designing my emails and looking at other emails for inspiration.

I see all sorts of beautiful designs with paint texture in the background, confetti behind the text, flowers, snacks, patterns, and illustrations galore.

Is part of being an email marketer/designer going out to the dollar store to buy a bunch of props to photograph for your emails?

Or do you guys know of a convenient repository of copyright available images to use in your emails?

I'm ready to take the photos but I just want to make sure I'm not doing it the hard way!

Edit: Examples of media questions

1: Did they make the cookies themselves and photoshop them? Did they buy lighters and film them for this email? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/c4/76/e3c476610b9022f99b0cc42900c41a1d.gif

2: I can't imagine they found a convert belt nearby. How did they get this gif? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/b5/f5/ddb5f527b5f0960ec4b7d59cc3121b48.gif

3: Confetti https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/e6/cb/09e6cb6f31a7b3867a0ef51786c0d569.gif

4: Tree branches. Did they go foraging to find all these?? haha https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/9a/b7/f69ab7f6eb522734aa870b006450a12b.jpg

5: Stamps. Did they go buy them? https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0d/9c/7d/0d9c7d3b59709d35b063f76d5da7fbcc.jpg

I feel like there are other methods of finding these resources. Obviously they don't give attribution so it would need to be a commercially available copyright with no attribution required.

Just curious what you guys all do.

Thanks!
