Great Last Minute Gifts
1. The Most Popular Affordable In-Ear Monitors
Most musicians are using in-ear monitors. I can’t count the number of times I have left mine at home and it’s always a great idea to have another extra pair. These IN-EAR MONITORS are really affordable and have incredible reviews! Tip: I suggest buying the clear ones since they are the most in-demand and least obstructive on the stage. Here is another very highly rated in-ear monitor.
2. Perfect Stand for All That Extra Gear
Laptops, cameras, and random devices are everywhere in modern music-making. One of these Universal Laptop Projector Tripod Stands will serve just about every musician and there’s a good chance they don’t even know they need one.

Every month for a year your musician friend will say “thank you” again and again when they receive one of these high-end periodicals. Magazines like this are great for training and even leaving around the church green room.
