Christmas gifts I want to give my musician boyfriend (1–10)

A tuner is an essential item for band members, especially guitarists and bassists.

A tuner is a tool used to adjust string instruments so they produce the correct pitch.

That’s why instruments like the ukulele also use tuners.

If someone plays a string instrument, they’re sure to use one, so gifting a tuner will likely make them happy.

Tuners are broadly divided into three types: clip-on, card-style, and pedal types.

Try discreetly finding out which type your boyfriend uses.

Floating speaker

A levitating speaker exists!?

Preparing a rare item to surprise him is one of the real joys of giving a present.

That’s why I’d like to suggest a levitating speaker.

It’s already popular overseas, with several models on the market.

Some even light up brightly or rotate.

Try choosing one that matches your boyfriend’s room decor.

Of course, as speakers they’re high-performance too, delivering 360-degree stereo sound.

So they’re also perfect if your boyfriend simply wants a good speaker.

Stylophone Pocket Synth

For those who want to pick a gift that will truly wow, the Stylophone Pocket Synth is also a great choice.

Often called a “retro pocket synthesizer,” it’s a synth that’s literally pocket-sized.

Despite its small form factor, it’s packed with features.

You can choose from three different organ sounds, and it even comes with built-in effects.

Plus, the price is right—around 10,000 yen, making it quite affordable.

band T-shirt

Is the band T-shirt sold for 1,499 yen at H&M super popular?!

A “band T-shirt” printed with band members or a logo is a gift you’ll definitely want to give to a music-loving boyfriend.

These days, shirts from famous bands are even sold by affordable fashion brands like Uniqlo.

However, when it comes to somewhat niche artists, it seems they’re often only available at specialty band T-shirt shops.

There are also many rare designs from the same bands that can only be purchased online.

If you know his taste, surprising him with a band T-shirt featuring a unique design could be a great idea!

Walkman

If you’re a band member, you probably enjoy music on a daily basis.

With that in mind, let me introduce the Walkman, which lets you hear songs with greater clarity.

“Walkman” is the name for Sony’s series of portable audio players.

Since its release in 1979, it has continued to evolve in response to the desire to enjoy music more comfortably and with higher sound quality.

It lets you hear astonishingly fine details, so I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

Schedule book

[MUJI] Recommended! Introducing a handy planner!

How about giving your busy bandman boyfriend a planner as a gift, since he’s always tied up with studio practice and live shows? A monthly planner with pre-printed dates is a great choice, but undated planners are also recommended because they’re flexible—you can even “start from your anniversary,” which makes them easy to use.

Recently, lesson planners designed for teachers who give piano or guitar lessons have also been released, and they’re handy for preventing double bookings with students.

Choose a planner that perfectly matches his musical life—whether he just plays an instrument or also teaches.

tuning key

The gift I want to give my drummer boyfriend is a tuning key.

Just like guitars and keyboards, drums have a tool for adjusting pitch, and it’s called a tuning key.

Unlike guitars, which are tuned to specific standard pitches, a drum’s tuning key is used to adjust the pitch to the player’s personal preference.

The best tuning key depends on the drum set he uses and his musical style, so it’s a good idea to research his preferences carefully before choosing one.

I’d love to see him happy, dialing in his ideal sound with the tuning key!
