With less than a week to go until the big day, the procrastinators amongst us might begin to feel a slight sense of panic. Especially if you have a music lover you need buy for. Here are some holiday gift ideas for the music-lover on your nice list:
There are many to choose from. The one I personally recommend and use with my family is Rhapsody. One premium subscription is good enough for both my wife and I to share. With that subscription, we get access to over 18 million songs on up to three different mobile devices and 3 different computers. This means, both wife and I’s phone, our shared tablet, my work laptop, my personal desktop and my personal laptop can all have the software installed. If I need more devices, I can simply access my Rhapsody account via the internet on any browser. Once logged in, all my playlists and purchased tracks are available. Need to go somewhere where there is not a data connection or wifi, you can download the tracks to your device so they are available for a limited time.
So, if you want to listen to that new album that was released last month without having to purchase it, this is the way to go. Other options include: Spotify, Rdio, Google Play Music All Access
These headphones have award-winning sound and deliver nice deep bass. I personally have and love an older model of these. They are super comfortable and come with 3 different size ear fittings. This newer model has a 3 button volume and play control feature. There is both an Android version as well as an Apple version. They have a gold-plated connector and come with a handy case to store them in too.
Perfect for the cold-weather commuter or exerciser.
These little guys have great sound. The classic version fits right into the cup holder in your car. This great for listening to podcasts and Rhapsody playlists on the go. The larger Jam Plus version has even greater sound. The selling point on those particular ones is that you can pair two of them for wireless stereo sound. My wife and I personally each have one of these little ones. They come in several different colors as well.
Lets not overlook the obvious. A gift-certificate to TicketMaster is a great gift for any music lover
This is the perfect gift for a teenage concert-goer or a person who likes to see live shows. This diary allows space to keep the ticket stub and then has space in the margin to document the memory.
This hand-drawn necktie is perfect for the music educator, performer, or music enthusiast on your shopping list.
It’s just funny. That’s why.
At the first sign of a rock-n-roll emergency, these mild-mannered #2 writing utensils flip to become a pair of dynamite drumsticks, laying down some rhythm for that song on the radio or the music in your head.
This sterling silver guitar pick hand stamped with the names or sayings of your choice. They also have over 200 design stamps that they can use with your words.
This is the same ukulele that I personally own and the one that Capital Music Therapy Services, LLC recently gave away in their mailing list raffle. It is made of mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. It comes with a bag, tuner, two picks, and chord book. It has excellent sound and the extra goodies make it a great value.
This excellent little drum sits on the floor and comes with two mallets. It’s made by Remo and therefore has great construction and sound.
This kit comes with a 20" Chilean rainstick, an agogo bell, a monkey drum (Djen-Djen),a pair of Latin American maracas, a Latin American wooden fish guiro with striker, a pair of ankle bells, a pair of hardwood claves, an instructional DVD, and a reusable container with lid.
Happy holidays and happy shopping!
