Ion Audio Tailgater Plus PA System

No garage-rock band is complete without the bellow or shriek (depending on range) of a proper lead singer. Give a voice to those with absolutely no other musical proclivities with this portable, 50-Watt weapon of sound. 💣

Lasts fifty hours on a charge so friends can sing it loud, and sing it proud! *Robert Plant voice* aaaAAAaaaHHH aH!

Denali Saddle Blanket Guitar Strap

Let's be real, most straps you pick up at the local 🎸 shop are cookie-cutter sadness sheets of canvas and hide. These bespoke saddle-blanket axe holders from Denali Straps look cowboy-cool and are as supportive as a music studio sofa. Don't let your friend settle for anything less than distinguished comfort while shredding.

Custom Sound Wave Poster

Everyone has a favorite song, and if they tell you they don't, they're lying. If your pal falls into that secretive category, ask yourself: what makes the most sense for their sound wave pinup? Are they a saccharine lover of The Cult's "Rain", or do they prefer the bombastic bravado of The Stooges' "Search and Destroy." Us? We're Vengaboys "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" till the end. 🤜🤛
