It’s that time of year again when people are scratching their heads trying to figure out what to buy their loved ones for Christmas. Since this is a trendy bands site, I thought it apropos to come up with some ideas for the trendy music lover in your life.

These are just a few ideas in no particular order - keep in mind that I know that I’ll be leaving a lot out. Just leave a comment if you would like to add to the list of ideas!

1. Anything iPod
Most likely trendy music lovers have iPods, but just in case they’ve been too busy to pick one up, this could be a pretty decent stocking stuffer. There are also other iPod products and accessories to consider like iPod iDog speakers, iPod Shuffle, headphones, speakers, skins, car kits, iPod socks you name it. We Love Macs has a good selection of gift ideas as well as Apple’s iPod page. Buy the iDog on eBay!

2. Anything Bose
Yes - on the expensive side, but if you have the money and want to treat someone with a quality sound experience then Bose might be the way to go. They’ve got speaker systems, radios, headphones, Bose in-ear headphones, DVD systems and more. bose.com

3. Computer Speakers
If the trendy music lover that you know doesn’t have speakers for their computer, then they’re missing out! Here is a list of computer speaker brands for sale.

4. Waterproof shower radios
There are plenty of ideas for shower radios to choose from here!

5. Gift Certificate to Amazon.com
There’s nothing better than to receive money towards music! Sometimes it can be difficult to choose music for someone else. Gift certificates are a great option for those who don’t dare take the risk.

6. Music
Some of the best music that I’ve acquired throughout the years has been given to me as gifts, so if you are a risky buyer and know of an open minded music lover, then here are some cd gift ideas:

Razorlight - Razorlight
Fratellis - Costello Music
Kasabian - Empire
Guillemots - Through The Window Pane
Jet - Shine On
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
The Zutons - Tired Of Hanging Around
Piny Gir - Hold Yer Horses
Johnny Cash - Unchained

There are so many more ideas on Amazon in their music section. Amazon.co.uk’s Music and Amazon.com’s Music Section.

7. iTunes Gift Certificate
This might be even better than a gift certificate for cds! You can find iTunes gift certificates on Apple’s US iTunes page.

8. iBean Bag Chair & Ottoman
Bean bags have always been cool and now someone’s come up with the idea to add speakers to them. The iBean Bag chair at Lands’ End is compatible with mp3 players, electronic games, laptops and headphones. Shop for more chairs with speakers.

9. iRocker Interactive Sound Chair
If bean bags aren’t your style, then there’s always the option instead to buy the iRocker Interactive Sound Chair - with surround sound audio throughout the chair. A great gift for students as well as adults.

10. Record Player
It seems strange to add a record player to the list, but lately there have been quite a few bands that have been making a pretty big deal about releasing singles and collectors items on vinyl - with different colors and artwork to go along with them. It’s good to collect these things, but it’s also good to be able to listen to them! Record players are still here - even in today’s digital age of mp3s and iPods!

Now go out, shop and be merry and most of all, have fun!
