Christmas is fast approaching – only one month to go! Woohoo! So, you’re probably in that frame of mind where you need to start thinking about Christmas shopping. Yes, it fills us with dread too, but it’s an unfortunate necessity. There’s always that one person that is simply impossible to buy for – whether it be a friend or family member.
Sometimes it’s just so hard to get a gift right, no matter how hard you try. A good technique we think is to think of what someone likes or is passionate about. This can sometimes give you a good indicator of what the might enjoy as a gift. If you have any friends who are music lovers, we reckon they will be pretty easy to buy for. Just check out these awesome ideas for great gifts for music lovers.
Bluetooth headphones
If there’s one thing we know all music fans love, it’s listening to music. No matter what genre of music they like, they will, at some point, be listening to music. This could be via phone, tablet, or iPod, but they will definitely need something to listen with. So, how about choosing headphones over buds, as they look that little bit cooler – plus, noise canceling. And, as it’s 2017, check out the Bluetooth headphone options as well. Bowers & Wilkins do an excellent pair – they will set you back a few hundred bucks, but they definitely will prove your love!
Portable speaker
Now, headphones are all well and good, but they are a much more personal piece of kit. Sometimes it’s a good idea to think bigger, and choose something that’s a little bit less personal – and we recommend a portable Bluetooth speaker. If the music nut in your life also likes to take charge of playlists at house parties, this is the ideal gift for them. There are so many great portable speaker brands on the market these days, but we think you can’t go wrong with Bose.
Music books
If you are passionate about something, you generally want to know more about it. And there have been some wonderful music books written in the last few years. These allow the reader to find out more about a specific artist of style of music. Music lovers pride themselves on finding out as much as they can about the style of music that interests them. As such, books like This Day in Rap and Hip Hop History, and Miles are excellent choices for gifts.
Turntables
Do you know a budding DJ? Well, in that case, decks are probably the ideal gift. We’re not going to lie, these are expensive, but they would be perfect for that special someone. That’s assuming, of course, that you can handle the person spinning vinyl on a regular basis, and trying to perfect their style. The best thing to look for is some entry levels turntables which won’t be too expensive, and will do a decent job – the U-Turn Orbit Basic Turntable for just shy of $180 would be ideal.
As you can see, there are plenty of choices here, and so much more you could choose as well. If you have a friend who is a music lover, you’re lucky that you have such a wealth of choice available to you. These are some awesome gift ideas that we are confident anybody with an interest in music will lap up, and get plenty of use out of.
