What's better than jamming out to good music? Doing it with a delicious craft cocktail in hand! Organized by genre and mood, this music and booze pairing guidebook will help you shake, stir, pour and march to the beat of your own drum all year round.
Take your listening party to the next level with this set of 8 musical wine glasses that are sure to be a major conversation starter. The glasses are marked at different levels so you can each fill to the desired note, run a finger around the rim and create a beautiful concerto of notes that harmonize with the melody of good wine, witty banter and immaculate ambience. The glasses also come in a set of two if a duet is more your tune.
What better to set the musical wine glasses, or any drink for that matter, than on vinyl record-inspired disk coasters? If your friend's home is filled with stacks of vinyl records they've collected throughout the years, this colorful set of 6 retro vinyl coasters are just calling their name.
With this DIY guitar pick punch, your loved one can recycle unwanted plastic (think: used-up gift cards and expired credit cards) into new, ready-to-use guitar picks. This nifty little tool also comes with a leather key chain pick holder that holds up to 10 picks, along with 4 starter strips so they can start punching and strumming away.
This songwriting journal is perfect for any stage of the songwriting process, whether they've just started brainstorming a potential melody, organizing the perfect blend of lyrics or finishing up the last notes of the next big hit. The journal features a clean, minimalist design cover, but open the book and you'll find highly personalized sections and templates that are sure to fit every songwriter's needs.
If your gift recipient is someone who prefers going out and listening to their favorite artist live, then these concert earplugs are a must-have. Traditional earplugs decrease the quality of sound and dampen the overall experience, while custom-fit earplugs can be costly and difficult to find. With these concert earplugs, the concert-goer in your life won't have to worry about the dilemma of sacrificing their eardrums or listening experience.
Speaking of concerts, one of the worst things that can happen is your phone dying, especially right as you go to take a video of your favorite artist the one time they look right in your direction while performing! With this mini portable charger, which is compatible with most iPhone models, you can make sure the music experience doesn't fall flat and your phone stays ready for that perfect angle. This mini power bank is especially perfect for concerts and festivals because it doesn't require a charging cable.
If the concert-goer in your life isn't an iPhone user, or prefers power efficiency over compact sizing, this Anker portable charger is the perfect option. The high-speed charging technology ensures that your phone is ready to go before the artist reaches the stage, but the power bank is still light and compact enough to fit in your pocket.
After going to all those concerts, the next step for your music-loving gift recipient is most likely to store every ticket stub as a souvenir from the experience. With this ticket stub diary, they'll be able to preserve their precious memories from the concerts forever without worrying about wrinkling the ticket stubs or stashing them in the back of a drawer. The diary can also fit tickets from movies, sporting events, Broadway shows and more!
What type of music does cheese listen to? R&Brie! OK, we promise this turntable cheese board isn't as bad as that music pun. While this cheese board may look just like your typical turntable at first glance, your music-loving friend will be delighted to find that the "vinyl" is actually a slate platter and the tone arm is a cheese slicer.
If an actual record player is more your tune, then look no further than this portable suitcase record player that features built-in speakers and a three-speed, belt-driven turntable that's sure to please any vinyl lover. But don't let the retro look fool you— the record player has modern technology features like bluetooth compatibility and a headphone jack for personal listening to allow you ultimate listening flexibility. It also comes in a variety of colors, so you can pick the one that would best match your gift recipient's home decor.
This steel vinyl record shelf that reads "now playing, is the perfect way for vinyl enthusiasts to display whatever record is currently on deck or to showcase the cover art of their favorite album. It comes in 11 different colors and serves as the finishing touch to their set up when mounted above their record player.
Whether your loved one already has a record player, or you're gifting them one this season (perhaps the one above?), they'll appreciate this audio record cleaner brush to help keep their record player and vinyls in tip-top shape for many years to come. The carbon fiber bristles will remove dust without scratching the record's surface, while the electrically conductive frame removes any static to reduce unwanted clicks and pops while listening to their favorite tunes.
Because one shelf isn't enough for all of the vinyl records the music lover in your life has in their collection, you can also gift them this bamboo storage holder, which can hold between 40 or 50 records. This way, they can easily flip through all of their records and store them all in one convenient place.
Nowadays, everyone seems to have at least one portable speaker in their repertoire, but whether they have a high-quality, top-rated speaker is another question. Not to mention, one that's dustproof, waterproof and includes a clip for ultra-portability (including the shower, because that's where all the best singing performances happen). That's where the JBL Clip 4 portable speaker comes in. Not only does it check all the boxes, the speaker has 14,700+ 5-star reviews on Amazon, so you know it's reliable.
Powerbeats are one of the most well-known headphones out there on the market right now, and for good reason. With features like the wrap-around ear technology to keep them in place, along with Class 1 Bluetooth and up to 9 hours of listening time, it's no wonder these headphones have over 51,000 5-star Amazon reviews. Grab them while they're on sale!
Ambience is one of the most important parts of crafting the perfect listening experience. With these interlocking LED panels, you can create a scene right out of a music video in your home or office. The kits include different shapes, like hexagon, triangle and mini triangle, that can snap together to form aesthetic geometric patterns. Once you've completed your wall design, connect your phone to the included app that translates your music's beats, sounds and melodies to light signals.
With this LED sign, the musician in your life can turn any space into a recording studio! They can mount the sign on the wall, hang it from the ceiling or simply place it on their desk as a cool piece of decor. The sign also comes with a remote control with 20 pre-defined colors (along with options to program custom colors), as well as controls for brightness, color-changing speed, strobes, fades, transitions and more.
This lovely, minimalist music note ring is the perfect way for the music-lover or musician in your life to show their appreciation of the arts.
