Right about now that leopard print Snuggie is probably looking like a fine gift idea, as are the Troll Chia Pets and one of those plastic devices that allow you to cook fluffy scrambled eggs in your microwave. As we get closer to Christmas it’s easy to be lured and lulled into coughing up some cash for just about anything just so long as you’ll be done with the whole Christmas gift buying business.
While it might be tempting to fall victim to those his and hers camouflage car seat warmers, I’m asking you to step away from the phone and put that remote back on the table and check out some musically inspired gifts from this year’s World Music Holiday Gift Guide. Yes, we’ve got the goods. We’ve got sparkly things, charming doodads, practical gifts and tech savvy gifts for the music lover in your life.
Over the next couple of days, World Music Central will be offering up musically inspired gifts for the music junkies in your life, and perhaps a couple of gift ideas you’ll want for yourself. Big or small, pricy or affordable, World Music Central hopes you find that perfect gift.

TJ Nelson is a regular CD reviewer and editor at World Music Central. She is also a fiction writer. Check out her latest book, Chasing Athena’s Shadow.
Set in Pineboro, North Carolina, Chasing Athena’s Shadow follows the adventures of Grace, an adult literacy teacher, as she seeks to solve a long forgotten family mystery. Her charmingly dysfunctional family is of little help in her quest. Along with her best friends, an attractive Mexican teacher and an amiable gay chef, Grace must find the one fading memory that holds the key to why Grace’s great-grandmother, Athena, shot her husband on the courthouse steps in 1931.
Traversing the line between the Old South and New South, Grace will have to dig into the past to uncover Athena’s true crime.
