The holiday season is officially upon us, and it’s time to start making your list, and checking it twice. Chances are, if you’re shopping for EDM fans, they’ve been a little bit more naughty than they have been nice! Don’t fret…no judgment is being passed here, only awesome gift ideas! We gathered up a list of gifts that any festival-going EDM maniac will appreciate.
Here’s our top 10 picks for the music lovers in your life:
1. The Electric Family brand, best known for its charitable exclusive artist bracelets, which donate a portion of proceeds to a DJ’s charity of choice and have become synonymous with the electronic music scene and its fans. Don’t get me wrong, the bracelets are great gifts for almost anyone, but it’s the hoodies and sweatshirts that really standout amongst the brand’s product line. This season’s offering consists of a fresh batch of must-have tie-dye options, with sayings like, “Vibe” and “Dope AF,” that are perfect for any festival fashionista on your list. Shop on Black Friday weekend for 30% off site wide.
Electric Family hoodies, $65, Electricfamily.com
2. Want the perfect festival inspired gift for that one friend who always gets separated from the group? Hook them with a gift card for the perfect totem topper at Fathead.com. They can get a giant cut out of their favorite DJ’s head, their favorite cartoon character, or if you’re lucky, a cutout of themselves, making them easy to spot even among the masses at the main stage.
Custom big head, starting at $29.99, Fathead.com
3. Music festivals usually require attendees to travel in search of the perfect experience. Give the gift that gives them the freedom to follow their own beat. A gift card to hotels.com takes the stress of where to stay away with thousands of hotels to choose from, whether they’re attending an event in New York, LA or anywhere in between.
Gift card to Hotels.com, available in any denomination, $10 and up.
4. If you haven’t come across these light-up kicks over the past year, you aren’t getting out enough. These LED sneakers by Electric Styles change colors as you move, making sure everyone in the room is watching the wearer’s every step. These are the perfect gift for the movers, shakers and shufflers in your life.

5. You might not be able to take the concept of P.L.U.R. and put it in a box, but gifting someone kandi-making supplies is kinda the same thing, right?

11. Last but not least on the list: tickets to an event. There’s nothing like the gift of experiencing your favorite (or new) music live!
