Christmas Present Suggestions with Skiddle: Part One

The John Lewis Christmas ad is on TV, it’s freezing, and we’re properly into December - Christmas is basically here. So it’s time to prepare! And working out Christmas gifts can be a tough one (we all have that person who’s a nightmare to buy for). 

To help you out, we’ve come up with some of the best Christmas gift ideas for the people in your life who love events and music so they don’t end up with socks and/or a Lynx Africa set. Have a look at our Christmas present ideas below! 

A Skiddle gift card!

Mixing on the go, who could say no? Perfect for mixing wherever, this one's compatible with iOS and Android, working on phones, iPod Touches, and iPads, with the same controls you'd expect from a pro DJ mixer including the crossfader, cue, EQ, and volume controls. A cool little piece of equipment to add to their collection!

Anyone who cares about music can appreciate hearing it clearly. The bass boost options, customisable equalisers to get the perfect sound, and noise cancelling features available make for a seriously immersive and enjoyable listening experience. Hearing those little details you never knew were there is heaven for any music fan. 

Vinyl record frames

Most music fans have an album they adore. With vinyl record frames, they can display their favourite album on the wall for all to see and brighten their own day when they catch it in their peripheral. If you’re feeling extra generous, you can get the frame and put in a record you know they love but don’t own - two great presents in one! 

Cat scratch turntable

Do they love music? Do they have a cat? This one’s perfect. If you know anything about cats, they tend to be curious and a bit mischievous. With this turntable, they can satisfy their curiosity, mischievousness, and endless desire to scratch things. It looks pretty funny. And yes, it actually spins! 

Earplugs

If your gift recipient is fond of live music events (which, if you’re here, they probably are), earplugs are essential for protecting their hearing so they can continue to enjoy the events they love for as long as possible. There are loads of options on the market, and the best ones are designed to keep the music clear while blocking out enough excess volume to keep ears happy and protect hearing as much as possible. You can grab a pair from 20-30 quid. 

And there you have some solid Christmas present ideas! If these aren’t quite what you had in mind for that special someone, watch this space for part two with more Christmas gift ideas.
