Stocking Fillers For Musicians - 2022

Musicians can be notoriously difficult to shop for, and with Christmas just around the corner, it’s a great time to pick up some stocking fillers for musicians. But what to buy? Well… We’ve made our list, checked it twice and now we’re sharing it with you. See below for great stocking filler Christmas gift ideas for guitarists, drummers, bassists, and all sorts of musicians!

A set of strings is always the best idea when it comes to stocking fillers for musicians. Ernie Ball strings are probably the most recognised strings in the world, and their best-selling set are the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings.

Guitarists are always in need of another set of strings, so why not pick your guitarist up a fresh pack?

Guitar strings are one of the easiest gifts to get hold of and one of the best guitar stocking fillers that the musician in your life would actually like - so grab a pack from the link below:

Guitarists can never have enough guitar picks!

Most guitarists use a plectrum when they're playing, and there are all sorts of different types to try out which can subtly change your sound and playing experience. They're also very easy to misplace, so it pays to have as many as possible in your collection.

A multi-pack such as these Dunlop Tortex .60mm 12 Pack will keep the guitarist in your life playing away long into the New Year.

The Marshall MS-2 is an incredible little gadget and a great stocking filler for musicians who want to practice guitar anywhere. A 1-watt, miniature combo amplifier that brings the classic, iconic Marshall styling which has been the backline for many rock ‘n’ roll legends over the decades.

The MS-2 Micro Amp is a great size, ideal for placing on your desktop at home or in your bag. The tiny guitar amp is powered by a single 9v battery, making it extremely portable. Just take it out with you wherever you go and you’re ready to rock whenever inspiration strikes! You can also plug in your headphones into the amp when it’s time to play quietly.

Available in Black and Red.

If you really want to turn it up to 11, why not check out the Marshall MS-4 Micro Stack? Offering you two channels so you can easily switch between Clean and Overdrive channels, so you can really rock it large with a tiny little amp.

If there’s one thing that’s important to any musician it’s their hearing. Playing in a band and rehearsing can be very detrimental to your hearing and the drums are often the loudest instrument in the room.

Watching gigs can also damage your hearing if you don't have a set of earplugs in. That’s where the Alpine MusicSafe Pro Transparent Ear Plugs come in.

They’re configured to replicate the natural response of the ear canal, ensuring that sound is reproduced perfectly but at a lower, safer volume - retaining the clarity and richness of speech and music while providing up to 22Db volume reduction across all frequencies.

Not only is this one of the great gift ideas for drummers, it’s a thoughtful and caring one too... and isn’t that the spirit of Christmas after all?

Earplugs are the ideal stocking fillers for musicians who either watch gigs or play in a live band.

Drum dampers are a vital tool that all drummers will need to use at some point. They're used to modify the tone and resonance of your kit, allowing you to make sure everything is perfect for gigs or recording.

These Moongel Damper Pads can be used on your cymbals or drum skins and are also removable and reusable, allowing you to get consistent use out of them and experiment to find the best sounds.
