The Top 10 Best Music Souvenir Gifts: The 10 Categories
Everybody loves receiving gifts! When you give a gift, it says you care. If you find the right gift, it shows your thoughtfulness. I’m here to help you with the process.
Apparel
Been there, done that, have the T-shirt…
Bags
No one’s ever given me a music bag as a Christmas present (it’s not really a guy thing). However, my mom loved them, and I’ve had several music teachers (all women) who’ve sported them.
Holiday Ornaments
Currently, I’ve got a wide variety of holiday ornaments that I’ve received from various students over the decades. Since I have a small artificial tree that sits on top of my studio’s piano, I like to use the ornaments to set up little “rock bands” and other ensembles around the base of the tree. They help any tree to feel more musical.
Kitchen & Dining Room
I’ve also enjoyed receiving music souvenir gifts like magnets, coasters, etc.
Miniature Instruments
Miniature instruments are similar to holiday ornaments, but they sit on stands as decorative artwork instead of hanging on a tree. These souvenirs make another excellent gift for music teachers, musician friends and family.
Mugs
I own a wide variety of musical themed mugs. Some I inherited from my mom, and others were gifts from students. I select which mug to use for the day based on my mood. I have so many that I use some for hot beverages and others as decorations in my lesson studio.
Pencils & Notebooks
Musically themed pencils and notebooks are perfect for budding composers and music teachers. They make great gifts for both kids and adults.
Plush Toys & Composer Statuettes
Nothing rounds out a music teacher’s décor like a composer statuette. Looks great on the mantel or on a piano. Conversely, the Music for Little Mozarts plush toys are a favorite among young children.
Posters
This section has the most links, because there are just so many good posters to choose from. Some of the posters depict bands and artists, while others are educational but still lots of fun (perfect for music teacher studio decorations).
Miscellaneous (Fabric Book Cover, Keychain, iPad Case, & More)
The following items make delightful gifts for music teachers or just about any musician.
