This year, the holiday season sneaks up on us, causing people to scramble for presents that say “I know you” instead of last-minute panic buys. To avoid this, treat holiday shopping strategically and free of last-minute scrambling. Shop for the person, not just the occasion.\n\nFor a guitar shredder friend, consider official Fender-inspired candles to hit the right note. A budding music career sister would appreciate a wireless microphone that connects to a mobile studio app. For the cousin who’s a suit by day and a headbanger by night, e-gift cards from Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Vivid Seats can fund their next concert.\n\nFrom $10 stocking stuffers to $400 tech, gifts for music lovers are plentiful. The Bumpboxx Retroboom Speaker ($299) brings the '80s back with 200W peak power, booming bass, reactive RGB lights, up to 30 hours of playtime, a wireless microphone, and water resistance. Choose from Onyx Black, Classic Silver, or Radical Red.\n\nFor a fun family activity, Mudpuppy’s 500-piece Music Cats puzzle ($14.99, $17.96 at Mudpuppy, $22.98 at Walmart) imagines legendary musicians as feline superstars like Prince, Dolly Parton, and The Notorious C.A.T. This playful puzzle for ages 8 and up uses recycled paper and packaging, making it an appealing gift.\n\nThe Misunderstood Songs Trivia Game ($17, $18 at Amazon) is a fun pastime with over 200 questions.",
  "summary": "Priced between $10 and $400, these gifts have something for everyone, from the KPop Demon Hunters fan in your life to the tech enthusiast who’s always after the latest audio gear.",
