Let’s be honest, Christmas sneaks up fast. One minute you’re thinking “I’ve got loads of time” and the next you’re scrambling for a last-minute pressie.
If you’re buying for a guitarist (or you are the guitarist), don’t worry there are still loads of solid gift ideas that don’t feel rushed or last-minute at all. Here are a few easy wins we’ve got in the shop right now.
Guitarist’s Box Sets – Easy and Always a Winner
If you’re not sure what bits and bobs a guitarist actually needs, a box set is a great shout. Strings, accessories, and essentials all in one place — no guesswork, no stress. It’s the kind of gift that always gets used.
Beginner Guitar Packs – Perfect for First Timers
Got someone who’s always said “I’ve always wanted to learn”? A beginner guitar pack is a brilliant place to start. Guitar, accessories, and everything they need to get going straight away. No faff, just plug in and play.
Amps for Every Budget
Whether it’s bedroom practice or something a bit louder, an amp makes a massive difference. We’ve got options at different price points, so you can find something that fits your budget without cutting corners on sound.
Pedals – Small Box, Big Fun
Pedals are a great Christmas gift because they’re fun, creative, and personal. From subtle tone tweaks to something a bit more playful, there’s a pedal out there for every type of player.
Something a Bit Special
If you’re looking to go all out this Christmas, a guitar makes a pretty unforgettable present. Whether it’s an upgrade or something they’ve had their eye on for a while, a new guitar always hits different on Christmas morning.
Gift Vouchers – When You’re Not 100% Sure
If you’re stuck between a few ideas (or don’t want to guess), a gift voucher is never a cop-out. It means they get exactly what they want and probably enjoy the trip to the shop just as much.
Still Not Sure? Pop In for a Chat
Sometimes it’s easier to talk it through. If you’re local, pop into The Barn and we’ll happily help you find something that suits the player you’re buying for, no pressure, no hard sell.
We’re open Christmas Eve, 10am–4pm, so there’s still time to get it sorted.
Have a brilliant Christmas from all of us at Austin Guitars!
