The holidays are upon us, and there’s no better gift for music lovers than unexpected merch. Perhaps your loved one covets a vintage A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out shirt after seeing Panic! At The Disco perform the album in full at this year’s When We Were Young or got nostalgic for AFI’s The Art of Drowning when it turned 25 a few months ago. However, there’s no shortage of interesting merch out there that goes beyond vinyl or a tee. If you’re at a loss for gift ideas, we’ve got you covered — many of these items even help to fill out our own living spaces. Whether it’s a Spiritual Cramp soccer scarf to keep warm, a Veeps All Access subscription (50% off until Dec. 8), or Patti Smith’s latest memoir, these holiday gifts will go over big with the music-obsessed people in your life. Head below to find our top picks for the season.
