Holiday Shopping for the Music Lover in Your Life
If you’ve been struggling to find the perfect gift for the music lover in your life, you understand how frustrating gift-giving can truly be. Something as simple as buying a gift shouldn’t be overwhelming, yet it can be. This is especially true if you want to buy a gift that will impress and delight the person for months to come. If there’s a musician in your life that you want to please, there are a number of gifts you can choose that are sure to excite him.
First off, consider giving him a new instrument. You can get something from Luthier’s Collection or a local music shop. Make sure you consider the person’s current instrument collection before you buy something new. Does the musician in your life love to play guitar? Is he a pianist? Does he collect unique or vintage musical instruments? Does he need something new that he can play on regularly? Make sure you answer these questions before you head to the store. Once you know what you’re looking for, go ahead and get the perfect instrument. He’ll be both shocked and excited to see what a wonderful and thoughtful gift you’re giving him.
Another option for a musician is to purchase music lessons. For young musicians, music lessons can be a wonderful way to reinforce the things that he already knows, as well as to inspire new creativity and exploration within music itself. Consider giving a gift certificate to a local music school or music tutor. Another option is to give cash that your musician can use to purchase music lessons from the teacher of his choice. Make sure that you both know that the money is to be used for furthering his musical education.
Finally, you could give regular musical supplies. Things like new guitar strings, picks, drum sticks, and even amplifiers are all welcomed by musicians. Many instruments and instrumental accessories tend to wear out or break over time. This makes it necessary to replace many important items. If you give these as a gift, it will save your musician time, stress, and money in the future. He’ll appreciate how thoughtful and exciting your gift was, as well as how practical it was.
I like the idea of purchasing lessons! Last year I bought my husband guitar picks and a strap and I may do lessons this year!
