1.
A ticket stub diary so they have a place to organize all their memories that isn’t the random junk drawer in the corner of their room.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “My husband has been a huge concertgoer since his teens and he has saved every ticket from every show. Plus we saved tickets from shows, events, and games. There are plenty of slots for the slimmer concert tickets plus larger slots for odd=sized tickets. I finally pulled all of the tickets out of the box and organized them in this diary. It was by far the best Christmas gift he received this year. For those who save tickets, it’s an easy way to organize and reminisce about those events. A storage box doesn’t do justice. He now flips through the diary and reflects on each event with a big smile. Great item.” —SBS
Get it from Amazon for $12.09.
2.
Or a memorabilia box to put on display, if a kitschy vibe is more their thing.
Amazon
Promising review: “Perfect for holding tickets from all the different events I’ve gone too. Love that it holds all sizes of tickets. Mine was very well packaged and no scratches on the front. Easily fits on a bookshelf. Will definitely purchase again once this one is full.” —Latiger
Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes).
3.
An amp key holder, a cool conversation-starting piece of decor perfect for anyone who loves (or plays!) live music.
Amazon
This licensed Marshall product uses real amp materials and comes with four guitar plug keychains and a wall mounting kit.
Promising review: “This key holder ROCKS! bought it for my husband who is a fine bass performer. It is well made, easy to install, and a unique item we will both cherish for years to come!👄💞” —Kristin Wise
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
4.
A pair of lil’ guitar earrings that are the cutest things they ever did see, for a fun way to accessorize their next concert outfit.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love these earrings! So much cuter than I thought they would be. Also comfortable and fairly light on my ears. Awesome!” —DebraShat
Get them from Amazon for $15.99.
5.
A GoGirl so they’ll never have to let a music-festival porta-potty cramp their style again.

Read our full review of it here!
Promising review: “I don’t like public bathrooms. I’m not a hoverer, and prefer to sit requiring either those flimsy toilet seat covers that do nothing to protect you from the last visitor’s pee or gads of toilet paper plus the added bonus of having to clean the seat first. I’d read about the Go Girl before, and finally decided to pick it up when my boyfriend took me to an all-day music festival. I was not at all displeased! I practiced a couple times at home over the toilet and found it easy to use and not at all messy. Probably the trickiest bit was rolling up and putting it back into the tube, but even this was little trouble after practicing a couple times at home. This little purse-able gadget is a great tool for any woman who has to pee outside the home. I recommend it for an evening out, road trips, music festivals, marathons, renaissance festivals, whatever and whenever you need to go.” —Reliquiae
Get it from Amazon for $7.75+ (available in camo and pink).
6.
Mini hand sanitizers to stuff their stocking with — because a packed show is a blast, but all those germs floating around the bathrooms, not so much.
The set comes with eight 1 oz. bottles of Purell, each with a jelly wrap carrier.
Promising review: “We took these to a large multi-day festival where the public dispensers next to the porta-potties were not always stocked. It was a potential life saver to have one of these dangling off the back of our packs for whenever we needed. You just need to be cognizant not to crush them or catch them on anything you pass by.” —Ronbow

7.
A stylish Herschel fanny pack so they can tote their belongings safely without being weighed down as they cut a rug in the stands.
This adorable Herschel Supply bag has one exterior pocket and is 100% polyester with nylon lining. It measures 6.5″ high by 7.5″ wide with a 16.5″ shoulder drop.
Promising review: “Perfect combo of function and style. That’s right, I said this fanny pack is stylish! Looks exactly as I expected it to. Worth the price, very sturdy. Wore it around Disney World and Universal Studios for a week and my family with bulky backpacks were jealous! So convenient. Perfect size — I was able to fit: portable phone charger, my phone, sunglasses, small pill case, inhaler, small wallet, granola bar, and I could have fit more. Not too bulky, and for pictures I just swung it around behind me so it was out of view. Will be using this for every convention/festival/concert/hike I attend in the future!” —Jessica Cardella
Get it from Amazon for $20.70+ (available in 35 colors/patterns).
8.
A set of quality, protective ear plugs, because what’s the fun in going to a show if their ears are ringing for hours after their favorite band plays?
Amazon
Promising review: “Comfy and nice-fitting ear plugs! Great for concerts and loud music. I work in a loud music environment and they work best for that! Love the idea that the set includes a little key chain barrel that allows me to store them together and carry them around.” —Natalia K
Get them from Amazon for $23.95.
9.
A personalized mixtape doormat they’ll love just as much as the mixtapes they got as a kid.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “It looked just as pictured. It is not a heavy rug, I think will work well in the mud room or garage into the house.” —Marg
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $38.
10.
A camping chair for their next outdoor music festival, so they can set up shop in comfort — because once you’re of a certain age, standing truly is overrated.
Amazon
This includes two cup holders, an organizer with zip and mesh pockets, carry strap attached to the chair, and a carry bag.
Promising review: “I go to music festivals every year and camping besides. I’ve crushed, worn down, and destroyed a number of camping chairs with heavy use, people tripping over them, what have you, and so far this is the best one I’ve owned. It feels very solid, it is very comfy, and it has yet to show any wear. I like how firm and flat the chair feels, and as someone who sweats a lot I like the mesh backing.” —Mike
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 10 colors).
11.
A pair of cute and comfy classic Vans that they’ll be able to toss in the washing machine if they get a lil’ grimy after crowded show.
Promising review: “These are the shoes that I remember having growing up in the ’80s. I’ve worn these mainly around town, to punk concerts, and for weight lifting. They’ve held up really well. The insole hasn’t worn out, there’s no hole in the toe, they feel solid. I will be buying another pair soon.” —Matthew W
Get them from Amazon for $53.97+ (available in women’s sizes 5.5–14 and in 20 colors/patterns).
12.
A poncho to protect them from the whims of Mother Nature in case a storm starts a-brewin’ in the middle of their next festival.
Amazon
Promising review: “Went to Orlando for an outdoor concert. It rains every day in Orlando. This poncho was the perfect size for carrying around all day and was very handy for that 10-minute rain shower.” —Matthew D. Holt
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 36 colors).
13.
And pair of Chelsea rain boots that are a perfect example of that whole fashion-meets-functionality thing.
Amazon
Promising review: “Perfect. I ordered these for a music festival in case it rained (which it did…a lot) and these cute booties really hold up well to rain and mud. It also is a huge plus they look really cute, I get a ton of compliments on them. Great boot for the price!” —Dakota
Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women’s sizes 4.5–12 and in 10 colors).
14.
A collapsible flask set so they don’t have to spend a small fortune on overpriced venue drinks (and also so they won’t go off in a metal detector — you’re welcome).
Amazon
The set includes nine flasks and a plastic funnel.
Promising review: “These have saved me hundreds of dollars from not having to buy drinks at expensive venues. Never leaked, easy to hide away.” —Kimberlyv009
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
15.
A wallet phone case, because no one likes lugging more than they need to at a concert, and this makes it super convenient to store all the essentials in one place in their pocket.
Amazon
FIts iPhone 7/iPhone 8.
Promising review: “Best phone case/wallet I’ve ever owned. It looks very nice and lays flat when set down on the wallet side. Now that it is broken in a bit, I am able to put three cards and two bills in the wallet without having any issues closing it or distorting the shape, The magnetic snaps hold it closed tightly and the cards/case are quite secure. I am particularly please that after having been set in some spilled water, it dried out completely without any stain or mark remaining.” —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in nine colors). Find one for the iPhone 10 here and iPhone 11 here.
16.
A board game that puts their lyrical knowledge to the test in a way that people of all ages can enjoy together.
Amazon
The goal of this game is to come up with a song that contains a particular word, per the card drawn, and then sing lines from the song that contains that word. The round continues until one team is stumped (and if the word is something common, like “love,” that could be a while!). Suitable for two or more players and recommended for ages 8+!
Promising review: “My favorite board game. This is such a fun generational bridge. The house rules can be easily edited to whatever group of people you have. It takes a bit to get the brain for it, but once you get going it’s super fun.” —Libby
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

A portable Anker charger so their phone doesn’t die while they’re taking a video of their favorite song — or worse, when they’re trying to get a car home.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’ve had this power cell for almost one year. I left it in my car for a few months in variant weather and never charged it or used it. This morning I plugged it in for maybe 45 minutes and it was half charged. My phone went down to 3% and I got terribly lost in an unfamiliar place and needed to use Google Maps and I knew that would kill my phone. I plugged in my phone to the charger and walked for 20+ minutes using my phone and got to where I’m going. Then left my phone to charge more and it charged all the way to 80% before running out of juice. I am very impressed that even sitting without use and in a hot car, this thing still worked great. I feel like it was definitely worth the money and am so glad I bought it.” —Holly P
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).
