Countdown to 2023 Day 2: Gift Guide
We’re down to the wire for holiday gifts for everyone on the Christmas train, but in the spirit of uplifting great gear (and the timelessness of a perfect gift!), here are some of our team’s quick picks for the music people in your life.
1. Positive Grid’s Spark MINI with a custom grille
What’s more personal than the best-selling Spark smart practice amp and Bluetooth® speaker custom designed just for them? The Spark MINI might just be the perfect gift for any music lover. Even better, each high-quality custom grille is carefully prepared by hand, then brought to life with state-of-art printers using durable materials–all while maintaining true sonic transparency. It sounds as good as it looks.

2. Immortal Axes by Lisa S. Johnson
From the photographer of the critically acclaimed 108 Rock Star Guitars comes a new collection of beautifully shot guitar photos, documenting the legendary instruments of B.B. King, Kurt Cobain, St. Vincent, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and more than one hundred and fifty legendary rock icons. There are no words for the beauty and pure cool that is this book; just buy it.
Another recommendation from Laura.
3. “Anything from Rockit Music Gear!”, Myki Angeline
There’s not much you can’t love about this woman-owned business, with products handmade in California by musician, Halee Smith. The crowning jewel of her collection are her eye-catching guitar straps, famous for the catch-phrase “GIRLS SMASH GUITARS”. You might recognize them from Myki’s past feature on the WIMN HERE. Pick up one of Halee’s straps for the rocker in your life and they’ll be solo’ing into 2023.
You already know, but thanks to Myki Angeline for the recommendation!
4. Best stocking stuffer: these long lasting XS Nickel Guitar Strings from D’Addario
Coated with their groundbreaking XS coating, these premium strings provide the longest life of any D’Addario electric guitar string. With XS Nickel, you can have maximum string life and a smooth, fast feel, atop exceptional nickel wound tone, in a package perfect to slip in that stocking hung by the chimney with care.

Another top-notch recommendation from Laura.

Pick out their favorite holiday record and find it on vinyl to spread joy this year. Bonus points for finding a super-obscure album by an artist they love.
