18 Holiday Gifts For The Music Lover In Your Life

By Radio.com Staff

The holiday season is officially upon us, which means you’re starting to freak out about what you’re going to get everyone on your list.

Don’t worry, we here at Radio.com want to help make your holidays truly happy. So, to help soothe your worried mind we’ve come up with a foolproof gift guide for all those music lovers in your life. This way you can go back to relaxing with some hot cocoa watching all your favorite holiday specials.

Instead of just getting them another iTunes gift card—boring!—we’ve got a few out of the box suggestions for the Taylor Swift or Beyoncé or One Direction fan that has everything.

Seriously, these gifts are going to knock their socks off. Since there are no socks on this list, we suggest the Ginger Metal Sweatshirt, courtesy of the Foo Fighters, as a suitable alternative.

Check out the 18 items we think you’re music-loving friend or family member will love below.

Because nothing says you truly care like an inflatable confetti banana from Miley Cyrus or a Lana Del Rey prayer candle.

1. Foo Fighters Ginger Metal Sweatshirt

Perhaps, Dave Grohl‘s turn as the Devil in Tenacious D’s film The Pick of Destiny inspired the Foo Fighters’ latest merch item. Or, maybe the guys thought ugly sweater parties were just not metal enough. Either way the band has a sweater with a gingerbread man who truly knows the number of the beast. Seriously, check out those pentagrams. -Brian Ives

Available for $29.99 via Foo Fighters.com

 

2. One Direction Hot Water Bottle & Cover

Popular in the early 20th century as an easy way to keep warm on frigid nights, we can pretty much guarantee that even the most hardcore One Direction lover in your life won’t already own a hot water bottle, let alone one emblazoned with the 1D logo. With the vinyl revival already in full swing, the return of snuggling with hot water bottles can’t be far behind. Perfect for the teen or octogenarian Directioner in your life. -Scott Sterling

Available for $20.49 via One Direction.com

 

3. Print of Taylor Swift’s Cats Meredith and Olivia

You, like us, are probably still bummed about not getting an invite to Taylor’s 1989 Secret Sessions. But now, thanks to Sara Lucasi, you can feel like you’re always in Tay’s home with a handmade painting of her cats Meredith and Olivia. The purrfect gift for any Swift fan. Seriously, we won’t even judge if you decide to keep this one for yourself. -Annie Reuter

Available for $6.40 via SaraLucasiArt on Etsy

 

4. Beyoncé “Single Ladies” Dance Illustration

5. Iggy Azalea WHAAM! Pencil Case

What could be more pleasing to the hardcore Iggy Azalea fan than seeing their favorite “Fancy” rapper rendered as a pop art pin-up on a pencil case? Perhaps the very Iggy-esque quote added to it. Whaam! indeed. -Courtney E. Smith

Available for $20 via Iggy Azalea.com

 

6. Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Face Post Earrings

This holiday season, stick a power couple in your ears. No, they aren’t earplugs, crafty Esty-er HartsAndStars has created a pair of plastic charms depicting the visages of Kim Kardashian West and her hubby, Kanye as earrings. It’s almost like Kimye is whispering in your ear. Almost. -C.E.S

7. Willie Nelson Herb Grinder

For the “herb”-alist in your life, country legend Willie Nelson has kindly created a cute little grinder for when your greenery is feeling rough and crunchy and needs a trim. Grinding allegedly allows for better aroma and taste and makes your herbs more potent…uh, so we’re told. Now Willie will always be on your mind when you grind. -Kurt Wolff

Available for $24.99 via Willie Nelson.com

 

8. Miley Cyrus Bangerz Confetti Banana

After seeing Miley Cyrus on her recent Bangerz tour, you probably wished you had an inflatable banana of your own to ride around on. The artist formerly known as Hannah Montana understands your needs and now sells a two-foot inflatable “confetti banana” which she says you can use as “a pillow, pool toy, concert banger. You choose.” It’s your inflatable banana, you can do what you want to. – B.I.

Available on $14.95 via Miley Cyrus.com

 

9. Diplo ‘Random White Dude Be Everywhere’ T-Shirt

To coincide with the release of his recent compilation album, Random White Dude Be Everywhere, the globe-trotting DJ Diplo printed up these T-shirts to commemorate his self-described status of being random, white and virtually everywhere at once. It’s a great gift for his hipster-heavy fan base, especially ones who aren’t white or male. Fitting, since being aggressively ironic seems to be Diplo’s M.O. -S.S

Available for $30 via Diplo.com

 

10. Kacey Musgraves ‘Go Back to Your Trailer’ Koozie

Tired of your drinks inadvertently warming up as you sit by the chimney? You know, where the stockings are hung with care. Kacey Musgraves will help keep your drinks cool and looking good this winter with her “Go Back To Your Trailer” koozie. Trailer, not included. -A.R.

Available for $5 via Kacey Musgraves.com

 

11. Lana Del Rey Prayer Candle

When you’re alone in your room, unwinding after a long day, reach over to that stereo, flip on some Ultraviolence and pray to the patron saint of sadcore. It’ll get you through your summertime sadness and your place will also smell fantastic. Just as we imagine Lana does. -Kevin Rutherford

Available for $17.95 via IdolWorship on Etsy

 

12. Kendrick Lamar ‘B—ch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ Embroidery

This is not your grandma’s embroidery. It’s more like Taylor Swift’s kind. Etsy seller NoDiggityNoDoubt—who calls herself  “The OG of Rap Embroidery”—creates sweet embroidered homages of all your favorite rap lyrics. Buy this and the only thing you’ll be killing is the interior decorating game. -Shannon Carlin

Available on $31 via nodiggitynodoubt on Etsy

 

13. Katy Perry Kitty Purry Plush Doll

You’re going to hear Katy Perry roar, and roar, and then roar some more, if you buy this adorable Kitty Purry plush doll that dances to the Prism track. A small price to pay to go from zero to hero in the eyes of your favorite Katy Cat this holiday season. -S.C.

Available for $65 via Katy Perry.com

 

14. Nicki Minaj New Year’s Eve Suit Costume

Still not sure what to wear to ring in 2015? Nicki Minaj has got you covered. This Nicki-approved silver ensemble guarantees you’ll be shining brighter than the Times Square Ball. Great gift for any Barbz who dreams of indulging his or her inner Nicki without having to go full “Anaconda.” Wig optional, but strongly suggested. -S.S.

Available for $54.95 via Nick Minaj.com

 

15. Sia Wet Dog Perfume

When the same old, same old perfume scents aren’t enough, try on Sia‘s offering: one that smells kind of like that time you took your dog out for a walk and you forgot it was supposed to rain until it was far too late. At the very least, now you can act in solidarity with your pooch should it happen again. -K.R.

Available for $30 via Sia.com

 

16. Ed Sheeran Handmade Jewellery

Ed Sheeran‘s songs aren’t the only things that are handmade. The “Don’t” singer designs his own line of jewelry, or in this case “jewellery,” inspired by his favorite treats like Coca-Cola and Bassetts Allsorts Licorice—seen in the photo above. Sorry Sheerios, no Lego designs. Ed and his mom—who makes her own line of beaded jewelry, which is also available through his site—promise all pieces are handmade with love. Just like everything Ed Sheeran does. -S.C.

Prices range from $7.85 to $54.97 via Ed Sheeran Jewellery.com

 

17. Charli XCX Pink Sucker Lip Balm

Your heart may go boom-clap for Charli XCX, but your lips could use a little balm. Put some of Charli’s custom Sucker lip balm—named after her upcoming album—in that special someone’s stocking and consider it stuffed. -C.E.S.

 

18. Zac Brown’s Georgia Clay Rub

 
Ever been to one of the Zac Brown Band‘s famous Eat and Greets? If so, then you’ve likely tasted this sweet and spicy concoction, as it’s the event’s official rub. One word of advice from Brown and company: “Don’t use sparingly.” Instead, “pack as much on the meat as possible.” Seriously, a portion of proceeds go to benefit Camp Southern Ground, so use liberally.  -K.W.
