3. Fuji Film Instax Mini 8
Ever take a picture of someone at a festival that you just had to give to them? Sure it’s possible with a digital camera if you get the person’s email and send it to them after the fest. There was another type of camera, however, that allows you to do it effortlessly: a polaroid. Well for the sake of all things retro, the polaroid has been coming back. Best part is, there are good quality models on the market at very reasonable prices. The Fuji Film Instax Mini 8 costs $70, fits in a small backpack, and comes in 7 different colors.

5. Hercules 4780833 DJControl Instinct S Series
In the age of technology, it seems that smaller is better instead of the other way around. Every time a new iPhone or Macbook comes out, something about it is smaller than the previous version. The most recent facet of technology to be caught in this craze is DJ technology which is represented by the Hercules 4780833 DJControl Instinct S Series. Of course, you won’t catch any legitimate club DJs using this petite console, but it’s perfect for casual DJ sets and beginners to get the hang of mixing…especially because it comes with DJUCED software. $100

7. Westone TRU™ Custom Professional Musician Ear Plugs
Everyone would like to believe they don’t need them, but ear plugs are necessary for sustained raving.

Comfort isn’t an issue because these plugs will fit perfectly into the user’s ears, and these musician ear plugs come with adjustable filters that determine just how much you want the sound reduced. $199
8. Festival Gear Sleeping Solo Festival Camping Kit
If you’re like me, no matter how careful you are when you’re packing for a festival, you always forget something. Most of the time its something related to camping.

Well fret no more, because FestivalGear.com has put together convenient packages with everything you need. This package is for the individual, but there’s also one for couples. $229

10. Flight on JetsuiteX
Unfortunately for avid festival-goers, to truly experience the full range of festivals globe-trotting is essential. The worst part about that is booking the flight. Airports are terrible already, and there’s nothing worse than a single delay screwing up an entire flight plan that would just barely get you to the festival in time. With JetsuiteX, practically none of the issues of a standard airport exist. Flights are pretty inexpensive and worth the flight. Price varies.
