It’s almost that time of the year now. Have you picked your gifts for your loved one yet? Now, if you have a musician in the family, you might find it difficult to choose the right gift. As you know, we can be very picky. So, if you are looking for Christmas gifts for piano players in the family, I might be able to give you some inside ideas.
One thing to remember when shopping for a musician. Don’t get them any equipment unless they specifically ask for a particular one. I’m talking about headphones, amplifiers, stands, etc. Musicians usually have very strong opinions and preferences towards the equipment they use.
I would like to help you by listing some gifts that would interest me as a piano player. Hopefully, they will give you some good ideas. You will have the perfect gift that stands out and you will get a big hug and loving smile from that hard-to-please musician of your family. Furthermore, these are not just good gifts, they are also practical items that the piano player in the family are going to use constantly. Hence he or she will think of you all the time.
BONAOK Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
I don’t know for you, but my family always sing after the Christmas dinner. This is the best selling Karaoke kit on Amazon and it could be the perfect Christmas gift. It is compact and wireless. You can connect it with your smart device and there’s an App where you can choose your favorite songs. It even has a built in speaker so no hassle with cables to set it up.
Piano Stickers for Keys
If you have a loved one who just starts to learn piano, this could be the best Christmas gift. I still remember in my early days, how hard it was to memorize all the keys and their corresponding notes. What’s most challenging were the sharps and flats. I would be thrilled to receive this handy key stickers as a Christmas gift back then.
Electric Play Me Musical Piano Necktie
This battery powered musical tie is the perfect gadget for family gatherings. There are 8 keys on the tie and they are touch sensitive. Your musical family members will have a lot of fun playing with it and the whole family will have a great time together. Do remember to purchase some AG13 button batteries. Each playable tie will need two of those and they are not included in the package. The last thing you want for a family party is an instrument without battery.
Yamaha Wireless USB to Host MIDI Adapter
With this adapter, you can basically add Bluetooth MIDI to any of your digital pianos. You’ll be able to connect wireless your instruments to smart devices. If the digital piano your loved one has does not have built in Bluetooth, this adapter would be the perfect gift.
Pretty MUSIC NOTE Candle Holders
This is a thoughtful bundle of gifts for piano players. There are one photo frame with musical notes and piano keys, two candle holders with musical notes and each has a candle included and gift boxed. They look great on my piano and the candles serve as light source to read notes on my sheet music.
Hallomall 9 LED Clip On Music Stand Lights
One thing that every piano player need is a light source to read our sheet music. This LED music light is a perfect choice to serve that purpose. It uses multiple power source so that you can choose whichever is the most convenient to you. It can be powered by an AC adapter, AA batteries and USB port. The base is clamp-able and the head is free to adjust. Reading notes in the dark is so much easier with this light and your musical family member will sure to appreciate it.
Visual Pun Chopin Laminate Cutting Board
Does Chopin cook when he’s bored? I honestly have no idea. But musicians do need to eat and this cut board is the most adorable piece I can find. It’s clever and humorous. I probably wouldn’t chop anything on it but use it as a wall decor thanks to the hanging hole.
Musical Oven Gloves: ± $15.00
Just look at the photos and tell me you don’t find them adorable! I would love to have one of these as a Christmas gift and I will think of you every time I bake my favorite cookies.
Dog Shirt and Collar: ± $15.00
Does your musical family member has a pet dog? If so, you are in luck. It’s often a great idea to give something for the pet. We pet owners always appreciate that.
Famous Pianist Wall Decor: ± $30.00
We all have our idols and musicians love their composers. Make the effort to find out which composer/pianist is the favorite of your musical family member. Not only do these tighten the room, it shows your affection and will be appreciated.
Famous Pianist Quote Wall Decor: ± $22.99
We all like quotes and putting them on the wall can serve us well. These make perfect gifts with inspiration and style.
Score Books: ± $10.00 to $30.00
What’s more appropriate as a gift to music lovers than a score book. You are literally giving music on paper. It’s safer to find out what genre the recipient likes. But it’s also okay to take a risk and give a score book that you like. You can then discuss it with your musical family member and who knows, you might just open another door to the music world for him or her.
There are certainly a lot more wonderful gifts for piano players out there. Leave a comment if you have any good suggestions and share with us a story about Christmas. Happy holidays!
Hi Wei,
these Christmas gifts are so adorable! I really love the Playable Tie and Musical Gift Set. When I scrolled down to see all the products and got to third – this title ’LED Music Light’ made me think it would give sound when you turn it on : )
I would love to have lamp that plays piano when I turn it on.
My friend is having a birthday party soon and maybe I’ll buy him playable tie cause he also loves classical music and this is a funny way to suprise him!
Thank you for the post,
I’ll bookmark it,

Hi Suzana, welcome and thank you for your kind comment. I’m glad you find these ideas interesting and useful.
Thank you so much for this article, it has been really helpful I have been planning to get a Christmas gift for my friend who is a piano player, after reading your post i now know what to get for him. Thank you for your article it was really helpful. I will definitely share this site with my family and friends i believe they will learn something from this article.
Hi there, thanks for dropping by and for your kind comment. I’m really glad that you find my ideas helpful.
These are some really awesome pianist gift ideas! I have a few musicians in my family and 2 of them are pianists, my mum and my brother. I really like the idea of the LED light because we have a piano in our front room, but its kinda dim in there and for my mum, who reads and writes music, she finds it difficult sometimes to see the sheet with the lack of light.
So that’s a really great idea for her, thanks!
Hi Joe, welcome and thanks for the comment. I’m glad you find some of these ideas useful. Get that LED light for your mum! It is going to heat her eyes if she keeps reading in the dark. She will sure thank you and think of you every time she uses that light.
Have a great holiday!
It is definitely that time of the year again. I love the tie! It is such a cool gift and very affordable. I’m getting that for my nephew, he is taking the piano class right now, but will it be too big for him? Nah, I’ll make his did play it together with him. For score books which one is your favorite and also which one is friendly to a child about 9 years old?
Hi Nuttanee, thanks for dropping by. I also love the playable tie. Such a great idea and so much fun to play with. The tie is 21.5 inches long. It is probably too long for your nephew, but that’s the fun part. It would look ridiculous and fun.
Score book really depends on the skill level of your nephew. I would suggest you secretly contact his teacher for recommendations.
