3. Gift them a Professional Photo Shoot 

Offering your guitarist friend of family member a photo shoot for their next album or for online content is a thoughtful way to support their creative journey and help them connect with their audience. High-quality visuals not only enhance their professional image but also bring their music to life, creating a stronger emotional connection with fans. 

4. Gift their favorite bands merch or make a customized merch item for them with their name on it or band logo–

We love musician merch!  Especially when it's creative and outside the ordinary. For a good place to start or inspiration check out merch from Portugal The Man, Molly Tuttle and The Avett Brothers. By choosing gifts from you or your giftees favorite band(s), you’re supporting artist's while giving something truly inspiring.  

Alternatively, if the person you are gifting has their own band or musician presence, consider making them a custom branded merch item with their band or name on it!  How cool would it be for them to see a product you designed with their image or logo?  There are lots of online companies that will custom brand everything from a stamp to a baseball cap to a mug for you.

From Tote bags to cool White T's, Portugal The Man’s shop offers a unique collection of merchandise that celebrates the band's creative Portland spirit. 

Molly Tuttle has some really unique band merch. The store features unique, high-quality items that reflects Molly’s creativity, such as branded merch, keychains and even Christmas ornaments! 

5. Songwriting Journal

 Our favorite is a nice Moleskin blank page journal but there are lots of options for beautiful journals out there.  There is still something special about the tactile feel of writing lyrics and musical idea on paper.

6. Nice USA made Audio Headphones - 

A good set of headphones can go a long way.  Especially as a musician.  Whether it's a traveling pair or a set for the studio.  There are some great USA made brands out there like Direct Sound, Grado and Audeze.

7. Gift Guitar Lessons

Offering a beginning guitarist lessons, whether with a tutor or through an app, is a valuable way to nurture their passion and skill. Lessons provide structured guidance to master techniques, expand their repertoire, and deepen their musical understanding. It’s a thoughtful gift that empowers them to grow as a musician, inspiring creativity and enhancing their performance. 

8. Personalized Guitar Picks

Gifting personalized guitar picks is a stylish and practical gift. And musicians love useful gifts that add to their craft. Custom guitar picks exist in wood, resin and lots of different materials. This cool musician gift accessory adds a touch of personality to any guitarist’s collection.

9. Some Cool Jewelry 

Does the person you are gifting like jewelry?  Then what about a necklace or pair of earrings that they can wear to their next gig? We want them to shine bright like a diamond. 

Catbird out of in Brooklyn, New York is one of our favorite brands. It is made with over 95% recycled 14k gold and 95% recycled diamonds, so they can sparkle on stage eco-consciously as well. They have also done musical collaborations with artists such as Phoebe Bridgers and Laufey.  

10. Last but not least, a Copperpeace Leather Guitar Keychain

The Copperpeace Guitar Keychain is a good small budget gift option. Crafted from durable copper, this sleek accessory lets you carry a little piece of musical spirit with you wherever you go—it's a fun, functional tribute to guitar lovers.  Copperpeace also makes a acoustic guitar loop that can double as a keychain.

And that's a wrap! We hope you enjoy this list as much as we had fun doing it.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
