Great Stocking Stuffers for Budding Musicians
If music be the food of love, here’s a buffet for your favorite player.
Music is one of the greatest gifts to humanity, and though we generally don’t mean that in a literal wrapping-paper-and-ribbons kind of way, well, maybe we should. Because with a particularly well-chosen present, you can change the course of a young musician’s life, helping them create a bond with songs and melodies that they’ll carry with them forever. (And who knows, maybe someday they’ll drop your name while accepting onstage at an awards show.)
Focus your attention to what they’re into — their style of music, their penchant for creating or listening, or both — and then select a gift that’s sure to shepherd that along accordingly. If they love metal, for example, pick up something from a classic band for them to discover; if they’re more interested in singing, give them a tool to develop their vocals. You don’t have to go big or break your budget; anything from headphones to a soon-to-be-beloved album will leave a lasting impression.
Walmart has plenty of brand-name, wallet-friendly options for the musician or music lover in your life, whether they’re aficionados or aspiring performers. From microphones to earbuds to Bluetooth speakers, we’ve gathered a list of some presents that’ll strike a chord this holiday season.
When you’re just starting to find yourself musically, sometimes all you need is a microphone and a song to belt out. This wireless microphone lets future stars croon along with their favorite tunes, paired from a phone or other device. It also has an LED light display to add some performative spark to the occasion.
This AirPods case clips onto a backpack or belt loop to protect their earbuds while also charging them at the same time. The stylish pattern adds a unique touch, and the appealing price doesn’t hurt, either.
These affordable earbuds come with a charging case, easily pair with a variety of devices and are ergonomic and lightweight so you'll barely know you're wearing them. A single charge will keep the tunes streaming for 9 hours.
Earbuds are great, but some songs are meant to be shared, while others are best belted out in the shower. Your giftee can do both with this waterproof speaker, which allows for versatile, on-the-go listening no matter where the harmony takes them.
Rodrigo’s second studio album, a diverse pop compilation with both emotional ballads and high-energy jams, has many calling it an instant classic. Her sound has matured on this outing, as she borrows from an array of styles and makes them her own — providing an excellent example for any creative working to chart their personal and professional growth.
Encourage them to follow in the footsteps of their favorite singer-songwriters with this cute seasonally themed notebook.
