It's that time of year again boys and girls. Yup the holiday gift giving fervor is in full swing (ooh boy), so I thought I'd chime in again this year with my list of 11 fun and geeky-cool items under $60 to give to your favorite electronic musician on your list! To find out more about an item, click on the title links.
Without further ado here we go...
1. Electronic Music Synthesizer T-Shirt $30.00
This t-shirt looks like tons of fun. It's a playable, wearable synthesizer t-shirt from Think Geek. You may have to also purchase a bat to keep people from fondling the keys while your wearing it though. ;-) (from ThinkGeek)
2. Melody Horn Air Powered Synth $29.99
Do you have an electronic musician on your list that's full of a lot of hot air? ;-) Well unplug him and shut him up at the same time with this awesome melodica style keyboard! (from ThinkGeek)
3. Korg Monotron Synthesizer $59.99
The Monotrone is an affordable, palm-sized analog synthesizer complete with ribbon controller and a VCO, VCF & LFO. Lots of great noise potential for small amount of bucks! (from ThinkGeek)
4. Synthesizer Mouse Pad $10.95
Cool synthesizer mouse pad or big fat coaster for those using optical mice. :) (from Zazzle)
5. Synthesizer Skateboard Deck $59.99
So whether the person on your list will put wheels on this and shred hardcore or just put it on their wall this is a pretty unique gift. (from Zazzle)
6. Mini-Theramin $29.99
This little kit is easy to build and and you can actually play it! No soldering required and it runs on 4 AA batteries. Cool! (from Maker's Shed)
7. Electronic Music Pioneers Book $16.99
This book, by Ben Kettlewell, details the history of electronic music and the people & technology that brought the music and bands we love so much. Softcover. (from Amazon)
8. Analog Cassette Tape Bag $11.99
This cool tote is the perfect thing for the retro musician on your list. I know I want one. (from thinkgeek)
9. Synthesizer (TB-303) Thermos $20.00
I'm picking out a thermos for you... not an ordinary thermos for you... a cool synthesizer thermos! What more could anyone want? (from Cafe Press)
10. Moog Voyager Oscillator Hat $19.00
This cool hat has the schematic of the famous VCO right on the top of the hat. The logo is on the back of the cap. Geeky and cool at the same time. (from Moog)
11. Vintage Korg T-Shirts $21.99
Korg has 4 different flavors of vintage tees available for sale: MS-20, Trident, Mono/Poly (my favorite) and the Doncamatic. These would make awesome gifts for anyone who loves Korg Synthesizers. (from Korg)
