Almost everybody knows someone in their family and friends circle who is either a musician, or a die-hard music fan whose passion extends beyond the average person, so it would be almost criminal to get these people anything other than a music gift for the holiday season. Music aficionados are almost always difficult to shop for due to their niche interests and the fact that they have already gifted themselves tons of music related stuff already. Nonetheless we’re going to try our best to give you a list of some great gifts for music lovers that they hopefully haven't bought themselves yet.

Most of our recommendations are style based, but we made sure to include a few non-style entries for a good measure. In short, we got you. Check out the list below for some last-minute gifts that you can grab for your loved ones right now.

1. Notorious B.I.G Ross Black Beanie

Biggie Merch

Merch Traffic has music lovers all set for the holidays with an epic collection. Most Notorious B.I.G. fans already have t-shirts with his face, album covers, etc., so how about switching it up and gifting a Notorious B.I.G beanie? This is pretty sick, and reminiscent of the styles Biggie used to wear during the winter time in the 1990s.

2. Notorious B.I.G. “Trust Nobody” Tee

Biggie Merch

But for those that don’t already own a shirt (or are looking for a new one to add to their collection), the Notorious B.I.G. “Trust Nobody” t-shirt is pretty sick as well in our opinion. There’s one in black and one in a white, so you could get either one (or both).

3. Elton John Eyewear

The Webster

Most Elton John fans already know that he is currently in the midst of his farewell tour, and to celebrate, the legendary artist is teaming up with Bravado and The Webster for a limited edition collection.These Elton John sunglasses would make a pretty neat gift don’t you think?

4. Elton John Gold Tote

The Webster

And since the new semester will be resuming for students shortly after the holidays, this Elton John Gold Tote from Bravado and The Webster is also an uber stylish on-campus accessory. This would also make for a good traveling bag as well!

BUY NOW AT THE WEBSTER, $45

5. Thriller 40 Vinyl

Michael Jackson Shop

There isn’t a single music lover out there that doesn’t love vinyl records, and with Thriller 40 at the beginning of its year-long 40th anniversary celebration, this is a classic gift that you can never go wrong with.

6. Victrola Journey + Record Player

Kohls

Which leads us to our next gift. You can play vinyl records with a record player, so consider this as a present for the music lover in your life if they don’t already own one. The Victrola comes highly rated and recommended, and it’s actually quite inexpensive compared to other record players out there, which is definitely a bonus in our book!

BUY NOW AT KOHLS, $59.99

7. The Beatles Abbey Road Vinyl

Target

Which leads us to our next present. A Beatles Abbey Road Vinyl is a must-have for any music lover’s collection. In fact, we’d even go as far as to say that it's mandatory at this point.

BUY NOW AT TARGET, $25.99

8. Jovi Girl Puffer Vest

jovigirl
Bon Jovi Store

Who doesn’t love Bon Jovi? This Jovi Girl Puffer Vest is a unique gift for sure as it’s a solid black vest with “Jovi Girl” embroidery. Very sick.

9. Beats By Dre Wireless Headphones

Beats By Dre

Music headphones are a perfect go-to gift when you aren’t sure what to get music lovers. Even if they already own a pair, it’s likely that they will be in need of another soon, so might as well get a collection going right?

BUY NOW AT BEATS BY DRE, $199.95

10. Apple Airpods Max Wireless

Apple Shop

Like we just said, even if a music lover already owns a pair of headphones, they will likely be in need of a new pair soon, so here’s another headphone suggestion. You can also listen to music in Spatial audio if subscribed to Apple Music, which is pretty cool too.

BUY NOW AT APPLE SHOP, $549

Ticketmaster

This might seem obvious, but there’s tons of artists going on tour next year including Taylor Swift, Janet Jackson, Blink-182, and plenty more. A concert ticket would most definitely thrill any music lover.

DMX Shop

Long live X. For hip hop fans, a DMX hoodie is a reasonable gift, and the official DMX store has a couple available including the customizable collage tribute hoodie, a standard tribute hoodie with artwork of DMX, and the Exodus Black Hoodie which features a picture of X on the front, and the album’s tracklist on the back. The Exodus Hoodie is our favorite of the bunch, but there’s a couple of great options to choose from.

BUY NOW AT DMX SHOP, $35

17. Fleetwood Mac Pint Glass

Fleetwood Mac Store

Longtime Fleetwood Mac fans probably already own a variety of shirts, albums, etc., so we’re sure they would appreciate something different such as the Fleetwood Mac Pint Glass. 

BUY NOW AT FLEETWOOD MAC STORE, $9.95

18. Foo Fighters Studio 666 Blanket

Foo Fighters Shop

Same deal with Foo Fighters fans. They probably already have a bunch of clothing and album merchandise, so we decided to take it down another direction with the Foo Fighters Studio 666 Blanket. You have to admit this epic.

BUY NOW AT FOO FIGHTERS SHOP, $66.60

19. Harry’s House Exclusive Casebook CD

Harry Styles Shop

Harry Styles had a heck of a 2022, and fans of his can celebrate with the Harry’s House Exclusive Casebook CD, which is a hardcover 6x6 casebook that has 32 pages of behind the scenes photos along with a CD that features a 20 page booklet. This is a limited edition item that won’t be available for long, and limited edition products always make for the perfect gift because there’s always a chance that it could become a collectors item in the future.

20. Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs

eargasm
Eargasm

One of us here at ONE37pm (the writer of this article) got a case of ear ringing for a couple of weeks after an insanely loud concert, and trust us when we say that it’s not a fun thing to deal with. As little as it’s talked about, you’re really supposed to wear ear plugs when you go to places that are going to be very loud (screaming for other people to hear you is typically the measurement of whether or not you will need them), and with musicians/music lovers needing them more than the average person, these Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs are a good lookout.

SHOP NOW AT EARGASM, $41.88

21. Ice Cube Purple Peace Dateback Tee

23. Nirvana Drain You Crewneck

Nirvana Store

And fans of Kurt Cobain are almost certainly fans of Nirvana as well. Most fans already have some version of the traditional Nirvana shirt/hoodie, so we selected the Drain You crewneck as something different. The Nirvana website has loads of apparel, so we suggest you check out the full catalog to see if there are other things that catch your eye.

BUY NOW AT NIRVANA STORE, $24.99

24. Mariah Carey MC Holiday Robe
