Gift Ideas for Every Musician in Your Life (Sliema Edition)

Buying a gift for a musician is easier than it looks, once you know their instrument and their budget. We put this list together straight from what's in stock at Sun-Sounds right now, organised by price so you can shop by budget first and instrument second.

Under €20

• Bean Shaker (€12) or AfroTon Hexagonal Shaker (€12) — small, fun, genuinely useful for any percussionist.

• Talking Shaker (€15) — a step up in tone, still stocking-filler priced.

• Cricket Guiro (€20) — playful, works for kids and adults.

€20–€100

• Metal Guiro Shaker by Stagg (€45) — a proper step up for someone who already plays percussion.

• Stagg 17-Key Professional Kalimba (€65) — for someone who wants to learn a real instrument fast.

• Eko Duo Soprano Ukulele (€75) or LAG Tiki Uku (€90) — a lovely, low-pressure gift for a first instrument.

The splurge

• Nataraj Steel Tongue Drum (from €180) — a genuine wow-factor gift, no musical background required to enjoy it.

• A Sigma acoustic guitar (from €395) — for the person who's been talking about learning for years.

Not sure what to pick? Come in to our Sliema shop and we'll help you match the gift to the player — or ask about a gift card if you'd rather let them choose.
