If a music lover in your life is committed to wired headphones (the sound quality is usually better, anyway), they'll appreciate the convenience of a Dongle Dangler. These nifty gadgets easily attach your dongle to your keychain for easy access, so you'll never be without your music. Unless, of course, your loved one often loses their keys, in which case we can't help you.

Buy here.Uncommon Goods Karaoke Microphone Speaker
Health-related shutdowns across the country mean that countless karaoke regulars have been without a microphone and an audience.

Tote it along with you to your next socially-distanced gathering, fire up your favorite iPhone karaoke app, and let the fun begin.

Wall art is the easiest way to spruce up your home, but it can be hard to accurately match the decor tastes of even your closest friends and family.

Many artists on Etsy can create stunning pieces of work that'll remind your loved one of not only their favorite song, but you, too.

Their Favorite Artist’s Merch
This one might be a little obvious, but if you're looking to please a music lover this holiday season, it's hard to go wrong with their favorite artist's merch. You could go the classic route by buying them a hard copy of one of their most-loved albums or a trusty band t-shirt, but plenty of artists are thinking outside the box when it comes to merch; for an especially 2020-themed gift, artists like Taking Back Sunday are offering face masks. You can find our personal favorite artist merch here, but take a gander online for some more suggestions. After all, you know the person you're shopping for better than we do.
