Etsy Holiday Gifts for Musicians 2024

It’s that time of year again! Every year, I love searching Etsy and sharing unique holiday gifts for musicians. If you’re shopping for a musician, look no further: I have ideas for classical players, guitarists, string players, and pianists!

Guitar Phone Holder

My first few gifts are for guitarists, electric bassists, and ukulele players! This is a phone holder that you can clamp to the body of a guitar (or similar instrument).

This would be really helpful for any guitarists you know who are always looking up the chords to their favorite songs to play on guitar. It’s especially great for gigs or other on-the-go situations where you might not want to carry around a full music stand.

Personalized Guitar Strap

Continuing on with gifts for guitarists, my next idea is a personalized guitar strap. If you’d like to send a special message to a musician, this is a great way to do it!

I know many guitarists like to express themselves through their instrument strap, so if you want to write them a message or even use their favorite lyrics, this is a thoughtful way to add a personalized touch to their music making.

Personalized Amp Desk Organizer

Finally, for guitarists, bassists, or rock musicians, I found this really cool amp desk organizer. There’s room for pens, pencils, and scissors, and there are slots to hold picks! You can also customize the name on the amp for a fun touch.

Orchestra Silhouette Candle Holder

Now, for my first gift recommendation for classical musicians- this really beautiful candle holder that casts a silhouette! I actually own something similar to this, and I love how unique it is. Mine is really just a holder and doesn’t cast a shadow, so this one that I found on Etsy is extra special! It reminds me of Fantasia, and I love how cozy it looks.

If you have an orchestral musician in your life who loves candles, this would be a great gift paired with a new candle in a scent they enjoy!

Treble Clef Spoon

Here’s a cute holiday gift for music teachers: a treble clef spoon! I like this one in particular because the treble clef is at the end of handle and isn’t related to the part of the spoon you actually use.

This would make for a cute little gift basket made up of a mug, hot chocolate, tea, or coffee, and this spoon!

Classical Composer Playing Cards

I have to mention Intermezzo every year, because I just love her artwork so much!!

Inkermezzo’s artist, Megan, has been working on creating these composer playing cards for a while, releasing prints as she goes. I actually have a gold foiled print of the Shostakovich card in my studio!

I know she’s put a lot of thought and care into these cards. They’re so beautifully done!

These cards have so many different uses, too: a fun game, a teaching tool, or even used as decor! This could be a fun gift for a music teacher in your life. I know I would love to have these!

Personalized Sheet Music Page holder

If you don’t know much about me, I’m mainly a violist, but I also play and teach the violin and piano!

I find that Piano/Vocal/Guitar books (like this one) have such thick spines that they have a hard time staying open on their own. Page holders like this one are perfect for keeping the book open on the piano while playing!

Getting a personalized sheet music page holder like this one adds a cute unique touch to such a basic item, and its small size makes it a great stocking stuffer!

Know a pianist who loves cats? I also found this cute personalized cat sheet music page holder!

Miniature Sheet Music

Okay, hear me out… this one is more of a DIY idea! I’m always seeing people on Bookstagram/Booktok making ornaments full of little miniatures of their favorite books or books they’ve read that year. You could use these to make a sheet music version!

If you want to do this, get these mini sheet music replicas (or print out your own), attach some foam poster board to the back, and place them inside a clear ornament. You’ll have to find one that opens up for crafts like this!

You could make an ornament full of this person’s favorite music, or even the music they’ve played this year.

These mini sheet music replicas would also be cute as part of a book nook (a little diorama that’s placed on a bookshelf), or even in a collage. The possibilities are endless!

Pressed Flower Sheet Music Art

This one is my personal favorite because it’s completely my style!

These small pressed flowers on sheet music are so cute, and are a great gift for a musician who likes wall art! I think these are musical in an understated way; it doesn’t feel like a gift you get for a musician simply because it’s musical.

Bonus Gift Idea

There’s one more gift I found that I completely forgot to mention in my Youtube video!

These candles are so cute, and can be customized with the recipient’s favorite composer! I think this is such a fun idea for any musician in your life who loves burning candles, and is maybe obsessed with one particular composer.

This would be great paired with the orchestra silhouette candle holder that I mentioned earlier!
