The holiday season is undoubtedly here, and with it comes that last scramble to find gifts for the folks in your life. And if you've got music lovers in your life, we're here to help with the 2020 Gift Guide for Music Lovers!
We've got 10 recommendations (some with multiple options included) that can range from stocking stuffers to the kind of gift that makes someone scream or cry or dance with happiness.
We can't give you all of the specific recommendations you might need (because we don't know exactly which artists and genres your music lovers, love) but we do hope that maybe these suggestions can spark a more detailed idea in your mind - and that you find that gift that completes your shopping or gets you started.
If you've got any great ideas to add to the list, please leave them in a comment - we'll see them (and we're still doing our shopping too)!

Bluetooth Headphones
★ Look, we all might be at home more than ever before, but it's still nice to throw on some headphones and escape into some music from time-to-time. It can be a great experience, even in the living room. AND, when we all do get back out into the world more again, being able to put on some good headphones is nice!
Wireless Speakers
★ Also for at-home listening, but when they're ready to let the music flow through the space, wireless speakers are perfect. They can be taken from room to room. They can listen on the couch, in the kitchen, in the shower, wherever the heck they want.
Record Player
★ Record players have been making their comeback for years now, but maybe a music lover in your life doesn't have one yet - or maybe they need a replacement or an upgrade. Find something cool for them, add a couple of records (second-hand stores are a great place to get some LPs to start a collection) and let them enjoy the journey from there.
Memories and Mementos
★ Put together a scrapbook of photos that you and your bestie have taken at shows, meet & greets, anywhere where you've loved music together.
AND, as a bonus, you can make a promise to be right beside them again when live music comes back and we're all safely together watching our favourites up on stage!
