5 Gift Ideas for Music Lovers

Statistics show that 97% of all humans consider themselves to be music lovers, and sociologists have proclaimed the remaining 3% as “deviant from the norm.” Before you go ahead and Google the accuracy of this research study, I’ll admit that I made it up. But I totally got you for a second there, didn’t I? The point is, music has always been a common denominator that time and time again, manages to bring people together. Melodies and lyrics, however we choose to interpret them, allow the emotions we’ve been holding in to feel more valid. And with it being holiday season, what better gift to give than one of music? I mean, holidays are all about giving and coming together, and so is music! If you’re having trouble coming up with gift ideas, you’re in luck! We’ve got the best budget-friendly present ideas for all the music lovers in your life, and since 97% of people love music, these gifts will do for just about anybody! *wink wink, nudge nudge*

If you don’t have a lot of money to spend (or you’re a broke university student like me) but you still want to give a personalized gift, a lyric poster is the perfect present for a friend, family member, or significant other. You can make this into a fun DIY project by taking some of the lyrics of their favorite song and framing it or find one that’s premade on Etsy.com!
Fun Twist: You can frame a photo of the two of you and in the white borders, hand-write the lyrics to songs you both love!
