Buying for someone who loves music

When she already has a hobby, she probably owns the basics, so look for upgrades, accessories and consumables rather than starter kits. A better version of a tool she uses all the time, a refill of something she runs out of, or an experience connected to the hobby are safe choices. If you are unsure what she already owns, ask a friend or family member, or choose something that gets used up. Keep the gift receipt in case she already has it.
