Holiday Gifting Ideas

Cool Holiday Gift Finds

Last week @YMCBuzz asked me on Twitter if I was going to do a list of musical gift suggestions again this for the holiday season...because as Natalie put it, "Tweens and teens are so hard to buy for..."

So in an effort to help out in that never ending process of finding the perfect gift for the tween/teen in your life (and give me yet another reason to surf websites for hours on end) I'll be posting some of my coolest finds...and hopefully one of my many suggestions over the next few weeks will be the 'one' you were looking for.

For the music & fashion loving environmentalist in your life, here are some recyled accessories made from all things musical (all found on the Vat 19 website)...

Recycled Vinyl Record Cuff Bracelet

Really who knew that vinyl records could look so good? The recycled record cuff rracelet turns discarded vinyl LPs into a funky fashion accessory. The shiny surface coupled with the vinyl's tiny grooves adds a dash of "awesome" to this eco-friendly and innovative recycled item.

The Guitar String Bracelet

Show off your love of music with this guitar string bracelet. Each one-size-fits-all arm band is made from a set of five stainless steel guitar strings. Wear the bracelets individually or stack them for a layered look.

And for the music loving philanthropist in your life, this is the perfect feel-good-#BeKind-music-gift that keeps on giving (from World Vision)...

Art and Music for Children 

Music and song provide a creative pathway to self-expression and an escape from difficult circumstances. This gift will help provide instruments, supplies and instruction in art and music--which can be life-changing for children from troubled backgrounds or impoverished living conditions.
