Gift-giving season can seem never-ending, with birthdays and holidays being a year-round presence. This can make finding unique and thoughtful gifts a challenge as you try to outdo the previous year’s pick. The good news: If you have a music lover in your life, then your gifting options are practically endless.

Your first thought may be to check out AirPod deals or Bose headphones sales, but before you click “add to cart,” dig a little deeper and consider what genre of music they listen to. You’ll be able to tailor the gift exactly to their music interests rather than to music as a whole, while earning their appreciation in the process.

If your loved one is an aspiring musician or singer, subscription gifts for online music lessons will add a level of personalization beyond a gift card. Whereas, for those who prefer just to listen to their favorite artists, tailoring your gift to their artist’s favorite brands is another unique gifting avenue.

To help inspire you, ShopBillboard put together a list of the best gifts for music lovers, broken down by genre. Whether they’re a pop enthusiast or country music fan, we’ve got something for everyone.
