Inexpensive Music Gifts That`ll Impress

Nowadays, it seems as if everyone wants to be a pop star. In a conundrum of 'chicken and egg' proportions, the rise in reality television style 'singing' contests has seen everyone, from the top Tenors to the tone deaf, believing their own hype and gushing that they have the X factor. Not only reality television, but also the growing popularity of interactive social networking and video display websites such as Youtube and Myspace, literally means that there is a platform for everyone and anyone to put themselves out there and display their musical 'talent' for the whole world to share.

However, there is flip side to the global preoccupation with music and talent and that is, gifts. Indeed, someone having an interest in music, be it the traditionally instrument playing approach, or the newfangled celebrity 'singer' approach, means that it makes buying gifts a hell of a lot easier. Anyone who likes to warble in the shower, or thinks they are king of karaoke, will love music gifts when it is their birthday or Christmas.

In fact, music gifts have never been so popular among those who like to take part in making ...
... music and those who like to chill out and just listen to some tunes. And, whilst the days of nipping down to Woolworths and buying someone some music gifts tokens, are as dead as Woolworths itself (R.I.P Woolies), nowadays you can purchase music gifts in the form of iTunes gift cards (which for anyone still living in the nineties and still owns a CD player, is a gift card which allows you to legally download music).

If a gift token is not for you and you are looking for music gifts that will impress, then there are many options available. For example, if you want to help someone on the path to fame (or if you are sick of hearing them sing and want to shatter their dreams... it can happen, people are cruel and sometimes a reality check is required, being cruel to be kind, yada yada...) consider a recording studio music gifts package.

Recording studio music gifts packages are available to both children and adults (Alpha mums, at the ready!) and can range in price, but are certainly not 'expensive' by today's standards. The whole thing is done with the help of a professional team and the person in your life who loves music will surely love you for it (unless they suck, in which case you will have trodden on their dreams, much like someone who thinks it is funny to stamp on the foot of a person who collects 'stamps'...).

There are many other music gifts available to choose from that are inexpensive and impressive. For instance you can buy story and music CD's, aimed at younger children, which are personalised and have that child's name inserted into the story. (A very cute gift that kids will get a kick out of and their parents will simply love you for). Or you could buy an imitation 'gold million selling CD' for someone, which again can be personalised and engraved (maybe as a follow up present to the recording studio music gifts, in case there really is no chance that person can achieve the real thing!).

Do not forget that music gifts do not have to be musical or indeed make music! There are books which are written by famous music moguls that pertain to lead the way to stardom and fast track you to fame (perhaps, to be reserved for those who really are desperate!) and no doubt an array of self help and 'better yourself' books and DVD's which will claim to help the musical talentless become the musical talented. Or simply buy music gifts, such as a musical themed mug, cup or calendar, or even a poster of their favourite angst ridden post teen self confessed rock chic, which may light their fire and prove impressive to the musically mesmerised in your life.

Whichever music gifts that you end up choosing to impress the music maestro in your life, take heed of the following: No matter how impressive it may seem, drum kits really are THAT noisy and should not even be considered unless you live in a detached house in the middle of nowhere, or you have a sound proofed room installed in your house! Likewise, sing-a-long musical microphones will give you 'feedback sound' and can remarkable be heard from what feels like a million miles away! And finally, music gifts for kids (guitars with buttons instead of keys, anything with lights and sounds) do not usually have volume control buttons and you will be forced to hide the batteries!
