As a musician, I always appreciate receiving a music-related gift. It shows the giver put some thought behind it and picked something that suits me well. There are definitely some cheesy music items out there (and those can sometimes be fun to give depending on the person and circumstance), but you’ll also find a variety of creative ideas. So, if you’re on the hunt for the perfect birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Valentine’s, wedding, or “just because” gift, here are 10 unique items the musician in your life is sure to love!

  1. Retro Record Coasters

    These adorable coasters make an excellent house-warming gift and will certainly be a hit for any vinyl-collector!

  2. Game That Song

    Who doesn’t enjoy a game night every now and then? In Game That Song, each person takes turns being the judge and draws a card from the pile. All other players must play a song on their phones related to the card that was drawn and the judge picks the winner of the best song for that round. Another super fun music game, and my personal favorite, is Encore. In this game, two teams compete by thinking of songs that include a certain word or topic. Once a card is drawn with the word (ex. “love”) or topic (ex. “songs about cars”), each team takes turns singing lines from a song that include that particular word or topic.

  3. Music Stationery

    This pretty set of music stationery includes a matching display box and is a great option for anyone who likes to send and receive hand-written notes.

  4. Karaoke Machine

    I love a good karaoke night and have even thrown karaoke parties in the past. A karaoke machine is a must-have for anyone who can’t pass up the opportunity to bust out a classic tune, regardless of whether the singing is in-tune or not!

  5. Song Lyrics Canvas Art

    This sweet gift will melt the heart of any romantic and makes a wonderful anniversary gift. You can personalize the canvas with your name, a date, and special song lyrics. Another similar gift is this Custom Music Picture Frame with a built-in music player that allows you to store up to 3 songs. You can also import songs on your own with the Type-C port.

  6. Music Box

    The San Francisco Music Box Company has beautiful music boxes in a variety of styles. I’m particularly fond of this one since it plays Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” from the Nutcracker Suite and has an image of Monet’s Water Lilies, two of my favorite works of art. It also doubles as a jewelry box!

  7. Piano Mat

    Remember the famous scene in the movie Big when Tom Hanks plays “Heart and Soul” on the giant piano mat in FAO Schwarz? This makes a fantastic gift for any big kid at heart!

  8. Booze and Vinyl Book

    If you need a gift for the vinyl-collector host/hostess, look no further than this unique book! Booze and Vinyl matches 70 albums with cocktails. Also, check out A Booze and Vinyl Christmas for the holiday version!

  9. Songwriter’s Journal

    Any budding song-writer will truly appreciate this thoughtful gift! It has space to write lyrics on one side and music/guitar chords on the other. The structured layout of the journal helps keep ideas organized to form your musical masterpiece.

  10. Retro Bluetooth Radio

    I like this gift for the old-soul who treasures anything retro. This bluetooth radio is a replica of the old Victrola radio and comes in three different wood finishes.

No matter the occasion, there’s a perfect gift out there that will strike the right chord with any music lover! The options are endless, and with a little thought, you can find a gift that resonates with their personal taste and love for music. Happy shopping!
