Cool gifts for musicians

So apart from the mundane mug or keyring what can you give as a present for a musician?
Well you have a few options.
Consider a new musical instrument that compliments what they already play. For example if they are a guitarist perhaps you could give them a harmonica which would work nicely in a holder.
How about a tuner, metronome or a set of new strings for their guitar?
Would they like to record their own music? That opens up a whole new world of gifts for your musician friend or family member. Read on to find out more.

If your musician friend is interested in creating their own album you have a lot of scope for a gift here. From a basic recording interface that plugs into their computer to a microphone or small multitrack recorder the options are numerous. Below are a few examples.

Still stuck for ideas? Try a music related book. Not just any book though - something that will be useful that they can refer to.
This book (which I have purchased a copy of) has paid for itself several times over and is one of the best resources out there that I know of.
David Nevue is a full time musician who makes a living with his music.
He continually updates his book with new information and I highly recommend it as the book every budding artist should read if they want to promote and make money from their music via the internet.
