The best personalized, funny, useful and thoughtful gadgets for those of all ages and genres.
When it comes to shopping for gifts, it's always nice finding an option that matches your giftee's interests, talents and hobbies. While best-selling items on Amazon and popular Christmas picks make creative presents for your loved ones, don't miss out on the chance to choose something more meaningful and unique to their personality. That includes your search for the best gifts for singers or any aspiring (or professional) musician in your life.
We've rounded up an array of personalized, funny and cool gadgets your family and friends will love for the holidays (or for any occasion that calls for a unique present). Some items will help them hone their talent, including the portable USB microphone and noise canceling headphones. Others are options you can customize for their everyday wear and use (from the musical note name necklace to the leather notebook for their song lyrics and future hits). Not to mention a guitar-shaped cutting board to replicate their favorite instrument and a scented candle that plays songs straight from their Spotify playlist when scanned.
