The holiday season is a great time to spoil the special DJ, producer or musician in your life. It can also be a great time to add a few items to your DJ gear wishlist! Check out our list below of the best gift ideas for DJs this gift-giving season.

For any DJ

“D Is For DJ” Board Book

Looking for a unique gift for the future DJ in your life or want to be the favorite auntie or uncle this Christmas? “D Is For DJ” delivers a new way to learn the ABCs with a dose of DJ culture. In partnership with DJ MICK and his son Myles, this awesome book covers legendary DJs, classic turntables, famous rappers, and more.

Nomatic Backpacks

As a company known for prioritizing quality and creating super functional products, Nomatic also makes backpacks that look great. These are a solid choice for stylish and well-designed DJ gear bags.

Roland GO:MIXER PRO-X

With its XLR mic input and compact size, GO:MIXER PRO-X is perfect for DJ livestreams and creating music videos, web shows, or podcasts. Connect and mix up to seven audio input sources with studio-quality, so you’ll always sound your best no matter where you are.

V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Master Headphones

In a nutshell, these professional headphones give DJs comfort, sound quality, and durability. Powered by dual-diaphragm 50mm drivers, the Crossfade M-100 Master headphones are Hi-Res Audio certified by the Japan Audio Society (JAS) and deliver clarity from the deepest bass to the sharpest highs.

Earplugs

Protecting our ears is so important, especially for DJs who frequently perform in loud environments. A typical nightclub can range in decibels from 100-120, which can start to do damage to your hearing in less than an hour! Cut down harmful decibels with a pair of generic, or even better, custom molds. We like EarPeace for generic plugs and ACS Custom if you want to invest in custom molds.

Custom Neon LED Sign

Spruce up your home studio and DJ livestreams with a Custom Neon LED sign. This company offers a range of LED neon lights and wall art, and you can even customize one with your DJ name, logo, or mobile DJ company’s name.
