17 cool last-minute gifts for the music lover in your life
A diagram of famous guitars
A limited-edition Taylor Swift instant camera
This camera design is inspired by Taylor Swift's "Reputation" album and has the singer written all over it (literally — it features her autograph on both the back of the camera and the borders of the prints). The die-hard fan in your life can bring the portable camera to all their concerts to immortalize the experience.
A vinyl record membership
Vinyl record owners experience no greater joy than when they get to add to their collection and play a new record for the first time. Your recipient will choose from three different types of tracks each month and will also receive extra goodies in each package. The three-month membership includes one bonus record.
A music box made from a 'Harry Potter' book
Open this book and instead of finding the novel, they'll hear Hedwig's Theme play. It's an unexpected gift for a Potterhead that makes creative use of a material they're already very familiar with.
A pair of stylish over-ear headphones
A music lover wouldn't be caught dead without a pair of headphones, whether they're just running a quick errand across the street or settling into a long-haul flight. These Bowers & Wilkins ones not only bring out the best of each song and have three noise-cancelling modes, but also simply look great.
A cocktail recipe book that pairs good music with good drinks
Combining two great pastimes, the fun guide features 70 albums from the '50s through the '00s and an A-side and B-side cocktail for each one. They're organized by mood, so your recipient will know just what pairing to use for their party.
A pair of wireless earbuds
Apple AirPods are far from perfect, but we have to admit they're really convenient. They're the easiest earbuds to pop into their ears since they're light and pair automatically with their phone, and they'll stay in surprisingly well.
Tickets to see their favorite singer or band
Singing along in the car or shower is fun, but singing along with the band live and in concert is another experience entirely. Hopefully they'll invite you to whichever concert they buy with this gift card.
A high-end visual speaker
This sleek WiFi-enabled speaker, which integrates seamlessly into their living room or bedroom, recognizes and artistically displays the lyrics of the song as it plays (see how it works here). The sound quality is also top-notch, which isn't a surprise since the company behind it is part of an incubator run by the famous Abbey Road Studios.
An online class taught by a film scoring legend
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard the work of film score composer Hans Zimmer. Through lessons on tempo, character themes, sound palettes, and more, the composer of over 150 movies including "Inception" and "The Lion King" shows students how he makes movie score magic.
Pencils they won't be able to stop drumming on their desk
These clever pencils are an easy stocking stuffer for budding and experienced drummers alike.
Dice to help musicians compose and improvise
There are 12 twelve-sided dice in this set made to inspire and push musicians out of their comfort zone. Though there are the classic chord progressions to default to, it never hurts to try new things and challenge their improvisation skills.
A waterproof portable speaker
The loud and powerful UE Boom 2 delivers 360 degree sound and has a long battery life, perfect for outdoor hangouts and parties. They can even continue being DJ at the pool or beach because the speaker is waterproof.
A smart speaker
They'll be able to stream music from Amazon Music, Apple Music (coming soon), Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more, without even lifting a finger. The multi-talented device can still hear their other commands over the music since it has seven mics and noise cancellation.
A book about why humans love music
This fascinating book delves into why music is so important to us and is written by someone with a firm grasp on both the artistic and scientific sides of it: a neuroscientist who previously worked as a session musician, sound engineer, and record producer.
A way to organize their concert ticket stubs
Videos and photos aside, a way to remember their concerts, down to the exact seat in the venue, is this ticket stub diary. There's also space on each page to jot down notes and memories to look fondly back on later.
Cufflinks shaped like a sixteenth note and treble clef
These small accessories are the perfect finishing note on his ensemble, whether he's heading to work or the symphony.
